Dublin 8 €340,000: The original show apartment in an unusual development in Kilmainham is asking €340,000 by private treaty through the Rathmines branch of Lowe & Associates.

Number 26 Hybreasal is on the second floor of this attractive residential development, a cut-stone building surrounded by mature greenery which was once a convent.

The convent was converted into apartments by Bovale about a decade ago and is one of several landmark buildings in this historic area.

The location off South Circular Road in Dublin 8 is an easy bus or Luas ride to the city centre.

The views towards the Royal Hospital through the apartment's large timber-framed windows are another plus.

Because the 52sq m (520sq ft) apartment was the original show unit, fittings were chosen to appeal to most tastes.

There is a carpeted entrance hall opening to a livingroom/kitchen with carpet and laminate flooring.

The timber fireplace has an electric fire inset and polished granite hearth.

High ceilings and old-style small-paned windows add character.

The bedroom is not huge, but does fit a double bed and has space-enhancing mirrored wardrobes, while the bathroom includes white sanitary ware, lighting and a wall-mounted heater.

One designated car-parking space with remote-controlled access comes with the apartment.
