Ranelagh: €1.2m:   If looks are anything to go by, 28 Anna Villa will pull a few heartstrings.

The location is great - it's a gentle stroll from Ranelagh's speciality shops and near two Luas stops. Sherry FitzGerald is asking €1.2 million by private treaty for this 154sq m (1,650sq ft) 1830s redbrick, which has no shortage of character and a warm, colourful interior.

The neat front garden is accessed via an arch smothered with climbing roses, while a side garden gets the afternoon sun.

Inside, two main rooms are either side of the front hall. One used as a kitchen has window shutters, pine cupboards, original floorboards and ceiling plasterwork. The drawingroom across the hall has a cast-iron and marble fireplace and working shutters.

Up a short flight of stairs are a bathroom and two bedrooms with fireplaces. There are two further bedrooms at garden level, both with fireplaces, a second kitchen with a conservatory and a bathroom looking out on the conservatory.
