Rathgar/€710,000: A small but smartly refurbished house with a landscaped back garden at 29 Orwell Gardens in Rathgar, Dublin 14, is on the market at €710,000 through Sherry FitzGerald.

It's a bright appealing house with around 92sq m (930sq ft) of living space including a double reception room with matching sandstone fireplaces and attractive maple flooring which continues throughout the house.

A big kitchen-cum-diningroom spanning the back of the house is extremely bright thanks to a large rooflight. Maple kitchen units topped in granite are repeated in the adjoining utility room.

Upstairs, the main bedroom overlooks the back garden and has a pretty cast-iron fireplace. It and the two remaining bedrooms share the family bathroom. There is planning permission to convert the garage into a fourth bedroom and bathroom.
