Dublin 14 €1.3m:Cranagh, at 9 Mount Annville Road, Dublin, is a mature and private home with a layout well suited to downsizers or those with limited mobility.

The house has front and rear access ramps and extra-wide interior doors.

The 1940s property has been completely renovated and extended by the present owners and is in walk-in condition.

The double-fronted dormer bungalow, which has bay windows, will be auctioned by Lisney on February 20th and has an AMV of €1.3 million.

The drawing and diningroom span the length of the original property, with French doors to the rear echoing the shape of the front bay.

It has a sandstone fireplace and is decorated in soft neutrals. This is a warm, ambient room that you would want to spend time in.

The kitchen/familyroom is to the rear and has a vaulted timber ceiling with Velux windows and French doors that access the garden.

It is bright and roomy and comes with a custom-built painted kitchen, black granite countertops and De Dietrich hob, double oven and microwave. An adjacent utility room houses the washing machine and drier.

A timber decked area leads to the sheltered, private south-east facing garden. There are two bedrooms at garden level as well as an attic room and cloakroom upstairs.

The main bedroom is roomy and bright and also has garden access. There is a shower en suite that the next owner might want to upgrade.

The family bathroom features a sunken bath which looks stylish but may not appeal to older buyers.

This is a great starter home. The area is rich in amenities such as schools, shops and public transport. Deer Park is on the property's doorstep and has a delightful children's playground.

An old-fashioned garage to the side is great for storing bikes and other family stuff and affords you direct access to the back garden.

It could also be converted into a third, ground-floor bedroom, subject to planning permission.

The house is set well back from the road. There are automated wooden gates and generous off-street car-parking out front.
