RANELAGH: €495,000:NUMBER FIVE Killeen Road is a double-fronted end-of-terrace house situated just off chi chi Dunville Avenue in redbrick Ranelagh, Dublin 6. The property is on a quiet cul-de-sac.

Measuring 95sq m (1,022sq ft) in size, the three-bedroom property has an asking price of €495,000 through agents Sherry FitzGerald.

The property was refurbished 10 years ago. The sitting room spans the width of the house and has a cast iron fireplace and original pitch-pine floorboards.

The kitchen has a breakfast bar as well as room for a small four-seat dining table. There is a small downstairs guest wc.

To the rear, there is a largish unutilised area with a sizeable storage space that was to have been extended. There is lapsed planning for a one- and two-storey extension.

The west-facing backyard has rear pedestrian access. It is gravelled and has a decked area.

The house backs onto a lane that runs parallel to Palmerston Road and comes out onto Killeen at the side. Parking is on street.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all of which have double beds.

The house is in a very desirable area and could be let, but it’s a little small for family use. When you compare the square footage of number five to the asking prices of bigger homes on adjacent streets, it appears costly. The property last sold at auction in 2000 for €345,440 (£272,000).
