Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac is 33 Templeroan Grove, a semidetached dormer bungalow in the popular Templeroan estate. It appears on the Property Price Register as having last sold in 2021, when it achieved €500,000.
Since then, its owners have refurbished and upgraded the 95sq m (1,023sq ft) house with new double-glazed windows, a new gas-fired boiler and radiators, along with Legrand light switches and sockets and new Doras doors, frames, architraves and skirting, turning it into what is on offer today: a turnkey two-bedroom house ready for prospective new owners to move straight in.
Off the bright hallway lies a livingroom with an open fireplace set in a marble hearth and engineered wide-plank flooring, which opens to a kitchen/diningroom via a set of double doors.
With an open-plan layout, this space is bathed in light thanks to its southerly aspect, with the light bouncing off its all-white interiors. Making the most of its aspect is made the most of by a set of French doors that lead out on to the sun-drenched rear garden.
