A HOUSE at the city end of South Circular Road is richly furnished in a style that complements its period details handsomely.

Number 16 Emor Street, Dublin 8, is an 1870s redbrick with most of those details – ceiling roses and coving, dado rails, sash windows and so on – intact.

Although it’s a modest size (100sq m/1,075sq ft) it has the high ceilings and good proportions of much bigger redbricks, so the art on the walls everywhere and the period furniture don’t make it look cluttered.

The three-bedroom house is for sale by private treaty through agent Felicity Fox for €595,000. Double-fronted and single-storey at the front, it has a two-storey extension at the back added in the early 1900s.

There are two interconnecting reception rooms off the hall at the front of the house, with matching period fireplaces.

On the other side of the hall are two bedrooms (one en suite); the kitchen is at the rear. Upstairs, there is a small third bedroom.

Outside there’s a paved courtyard garden.

Emor Street is close to Kelly’s Corner, about a half-hour walk from Dublin’s city centre.
