A refurbished two-bedroom terraced house at 97 Ceannt Fort is for sale by private treaty at £220,000 through Gunne Residential. The house is a quaint double-fronted brick cottage that would look more at home in a village than in its inner city location, five minutes from St James's Hospital in Kilmainham, Dublin 8.

The immediate sense is of a very bright house, with the sun shining through from front to back. The eating area leads through to the kitchen which looks out on to the patio garden. The kitchen is well planned with a U-shaped range of Shaker-style units, and vibrant green tiles on the walls. It has a stainless steel oven and hob with overhead fan, which adds a smart contemporary touch.

The ground floor also has a livingroom off the hall. There is a cool feel to the room created by blue walls, yet the period fireplace keeps the room cosy.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms one of which is en suite. The other, with its phone and computer point, would be suitable for a home office.
