A split-level two-bedroom cottage, 65 Tyrconnell Road in Inchicore village, is a good deal more spacious than it looks from the outside. It has undergone considerable refurbishment, but is in need of further work.

The house is for sale through Gunne in Lucan, which is seeking offers in excess of £185,000.

Built in the late 19th century, this cottage has a large back garden overlooking the Camac River. Single storey to the front and two storey to the rear, the reception room and entrance hall boast high ceilings. The original floorboards have been restored and varnished and are a feature of many of the rooms. Double doors from the hallway lead to the lounge, which is still in need of a fireplace and some finishing details.

The ceramic-tiled hall is split level, and steps lead down to a dining area with a large floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The window has retained its original shutters.

Steps lead down to a blue mosaic-tiled kitchen. Small and compact, the brand new kitchen has Shaker-style maple units with chrome bar handles. A door leads out to the back garden. A large blue tiled bathroom is also situated at this level.

The garden has huge potential. Overgrown and neglected, this south easterly facing split level space could become a real focus for the house with a bit of time and effort from a green-fingered buyer.

There is currently a patio area at the top end and a path leads down to two garden stores backing on to the river. There is a separate entrance from a pathway alongside the river.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both overlooking the back garden, and both with varnished floorboards. Like the dining room below, it has a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace.
