A round-up of today's other stories in brief

Dartry: €485,000

DARTRY HAS more than its fair share of big impressive redbricks but trade-down homes are harder to come by. So a two-bed bungalow called Clareville at 42 Dartry Road might appeal to empty nesters at its reduced price of €485,000 (it was €550,000). For sale through Harper O’Grady, the 122sq m (1,300sq ft) house has a large livingroom, a conservatory-style diningroom beside the garden, and two bedrooms. There’s a low-maintenance garden and patio.

Dublin 6W: €615,000

ONE OF THE pretty semi-detached Edwardian houses on Casimir Avenue in Harold’s Cross is on the market through Harper O’Grady, asking €615,000. The three-bedroom house measures 160sq m (1,700sq ft), and has two interconnecting reception rooms, the larger of which is the sittingroom to the front, with an attractive box bay window, marble fireplace and polished timber floor. To the rear of the house at ground level is a breakfastroom with pine-clad walls and a glazed door, leading to an extended kitchen designed by Sheehan Barry Architects.
