Hidden to the rear of Prince Edward Terrace is a very modern mews – an A-rated home designed by Paul Arnold Architects and completed by Kelliher Miller Architects in 2014.
From the outside the brick-fronted house looks like a bit of a barn but those same proportions on the inside give it above average ceiling heights and a real sense of space.
The property has just two rooms on the ground floor with glazed internal doors to help stream light into the centre of the house.
There’s a small home office/ playroom/TV room to the front that could also become a fourth bedroom.
Across the hall is the main living space – comprising a large open-plan kitchen, lit from above by a roof light.
The units are by Nolan Kitchens and there are white natural stone countertops to help bounce light into this dark space.
Underfoot is a really smart laminate floor by Balterio that appears convincingly woodlike even when you walk on it.
Split by shelving
This large rectangular room has been bisected by a set of shelves that has been used to create a half wall between the kitchen and the sitting room, which overlooks the west-facing back garden.
Large glass sliding doors open to a patio of Kilsaran paving and a small lawn. The aspect is good and the garden big enough to let small kids run around – for serious games of football there's nearby Carysfort Park.
There are three bedrooms upstairs where the ceilings follow the arch of exterior structure.
The main bedroom overlooks the garden. It is a really roomy space with a walk-through wardrobe taking you into the shower en suite which, like all the bathrooms in the house, has been fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware.
There are two more doubles and a bathroom on this floor as well lots of storage built into the landing.
The house is extremely private. It is hidden behind large metal gates, which conceal off-street parking for one car.
The property, which measures 167sq m (1797sq ft), is selling for €895,000 through agents Sherry FitzGerald.
