If football-crazy small boys could buy houses then number 3 Templeroan Close would make any shortlist.
Templeroan is an estate of brown-brick homes built in 1998 that is set around a football-pitch sized green space carpeted with dandelions and daisies. Templeroan Close is one of the quiet cul de sacs that satellite out from the green. Number 3 is a property of 165sq m / 1776sq ft, including its attic room, that has been extended by its owners who have lived here since buying the house off the plans.
The hall belies how roomy the ground floor is. At its far end is a kitchen with units painted in a lesser-known Farrow and Ball colour. The shade is Chamomile Pink, which adds a warming flush to the roof-lit room. In lieu of a table there is a breakfast bar and bench to eat at. A door leads to a large family room designed around a central stove.

The dining area overlooks the garden and has doors leading out to the spacious, paved back garden. This has specimen trees in planters and gets the sun in the morning and until about 6pm in summer. It backs on to Sancta Maria College which is in the middle of a significant refurbishment. It's pretty noisy at the moment but when finished will include tennis courts that residents may have access to.
Access to the utility area in the garage is off the family room.
Double doors lead through to the formal sittingroom where an inset fire is set into a marble surround designed by the owner.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor, three doubles and a large single, big enough to accommodate a queen-size bed.
Off the master bedroom, situated to the front and with plantation shutters to ensure privacy, there is a shower ensuite bathroom. The family bathroom, which overlooks the rear, is a good size.
At the top of the house is an attic room which the owner uses as an office cum relaxation space.
The paved front has off-street parking for several cars. The property is asking €675,000 through agents SherryFitzGerald.
