A terraced one-bedroom cottage at 86 Harold's Cross Cottages is for sale by private treaty through Gunne

A terraced one-bedroom cottage at 86 Harold's Cross Cottages is for sale by private treaty through Gunne. Harold's Cross Cottages were built around 1920 for the workers on the farm of Arthur Guinness & Son. The house was renovated seven years ago when the kitchen and living area became open plan, a new bathroom was built and central heating was installed. It was redecorated two years ago by the present owners. A tiny entrance lobby leads into the living area with beech-effect laminate flooring and a cast-iron period fireplace. The compact galley kitchen has storage units and a timbered roof with Velux window. The bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is a compact shower room. A back door leads to a small yard.
