Minus: Some of the flooring would benefit from upgrading

Town

Address: 14 Patrician Villas, Stillorgan, Co Dublin

Agent: DNG Rock Road

It is the location of this end-of-terrace 86sq m (926sq ft) three-bedroom house that is the real selling point as it lies in a quiet cul-de-sac but is close to a quality bus corridor and is a short drive to the Stillorgan green line Luas stop and Dún Laoghaire Dart station, as well as a number of schools and University College Dublin. It could do with some upgrading as its Ber is D2 but the house has a decent sized back garden.

Plus: Three bedrooms and in a great location

Minus: D2 Ber needs addressing
