It’s got three bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, kitchen/diner with a skylight and recessed lighting, while to the back is an enclosed seating area with Astroturf lawn, built-in benches and a glazed roof.

3 Reilly's Terrace, Cork Street, Dublin 8

This brick cottage was originally an artisan dwelling built for Guinness workers c. 1900. It’s been well modernised since then, not least in the kitchen/living area, which was updated five years ago with new fitted units and wooden cladding on the pitched ceiling. There are two double bedrooms, a utility room, bathroom and an enclosed courtyard to the rear with access to a side lane, handy for bringing in bikes and hauling out bins. It’s across the road from the Coombe Hospital and if you want to venture further afield, a cobblelock driveway to the front provides parking for two cars.
