Co Wicklow: €760,000: A semi-detached house with a deceptively roomy and stylish interior - 9 Connawood Crescent, Old Conna Wood, Bray, Co Wicklow - goes on sale this week by private treaty with Douglas Newman Good quoting €760,000.

Built 11 years ago in a quiet cul-de-sac off Old Conna Avenue, the present owners embarked on an architect-designed remodelling which has more than doubled the house size, capitalising on its orientation, and incorporating many thoughtful and practical family improvements. The progress of the revamp was featured in Around the House on RTÉ1 presented by architect Duncan Stewart.

On either side of the hall door is a small study and a large restful sittingroom with rear double doors.

These open to a large light-filled area where three rooms - kitchen, dining and family room - flow into each other. The reception rooms - floored in reclaimed pine - have good storage, with patio doors opening to a south-facing rear lawn.

The kitchen has a Chinese slate floor and is decorated in azure. Its maple cupboards topped in beechwood conceal state-of-the-art integrated equipment and clever storage features. The adjoining utility has a large hot press. There is a toilet off the hall.

There are four first floor bedrooms and a good-looking family bathroom. The main bedroom has an attractive tiled shower room with separate dressingroom.

Concealed stairs climb to a large attic bedroom, with two large Velux windows and sloping eaves.

There is access to a second attic, lit and floored.

The front garden is landscaped for car-parking and fringed with shrubs. The rear garden with patio is one of the largest on the estate and set in lawn. A screen of birch trees fringe the boundary wall.
