Dublin 15: A restored two-bedroom cottage with a stunning livingroom is on the market for €425,000. Orna Mulcahy reports

Lisney is seeking offers in the region of €425,000 in a private treaty sale for a renovated two-bedroom terraced house, 6 Mountainview Cottages at Luttrellstown Road in Castleknock, Dublin 15.

In a quiet setting about 10 minutes from the centre of Castleknock village, the house has around 73 sq m (790 sq ft) of living space that has been imaginatively restored and decorated in a smart contemporary style.

There is further scope to extend to the back of the house where there is also car parking.

Inside the house a tiny entrance hall opens into a stunning 20 ft livingroom with a high vaulted ceiling and walls stripped back to the original brickwork which is immaculate. The maple flooring creates the feel of an apartment, while Velux windows overhead make it exceptionally bright.

Leading off the livingroom is a spacious kitchen with its sleek maple units and striking red walls. French doors lead out to a hardwood deck at the back of the house.

Unusually in a house of this size, there is a neat utility room with an airing cupboard and plumbing for a washing machine.

The two bedrooms, a double and single, share a good-sized bathroom. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.

Most of the work was carried out in the last five years, and to a high standard, with Rational windows throughout. An ideal first buy for well heeled couples, it may also appeal to older buyers as a trade down home.
