Situated on a large corner site, St Finbarr's is a four-bedroom, semi-detached 1930s house, on the Sandymount side of Ailesbury Road, on the corner of Merlyn Park, just a stone's throw from Sydney Parade Dart station.

The house has fine proportions and plenty of living space. The rooms have been staged for sale and painted in fashionable chalky shades by Darran Lennon of Fit Out Interiors.

There are three good-size reception rooms in the double-bay-fronted property. The rooms have 3m-plus (10ft) ceiling heights which add to the spacious feel.

Two of the formal rooms interconnect and span the depth of the house. They have white matching period-style marble mantlepieces and bay windows to the front and back. Mid-morning light streams in the front .

Across the hall is a fine square-shaped room with a fireplace that looks more original to the house. This room has been painted a soft Prussian blue.

The kitchen has been extended but even more could be made of this space. A larger, more open-plan room would take real advantage of the orientation of this part of the house.

Sliding glass doors lead outside to a sunny concreted area that gets lovely afternoon sun. The garden is lawned and surrounding hedging makes it feel a bit more enclosed than it actually is.

Adjacent to the house is a detached garage with about nine more metres (30ft) of land to the boundary wall.

This part of the property is underutilised and could become a second smaller house, subject to planning permission.

The main house is already sizeable, measuring 301sq m (3243sq ft), which includes a fine attic room that runs the length of the house.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles. Two are en suite. The master is to the front and has a huge en suite bathroom with a lovely large picture window in what was originally the family bathroom.

The fourth bedroom is set up as a home office and shares a small shower room with the third double.

The property, which has a C3 Ber rating, is asking €1.7million through agents SherryFitzGerald and has off-street parking for several cars.
