Set in a quiet enclave, just off New Road, it has a separate sitting room at the front of the house.

This is a small but vital separate space to either sequester older kids or for parents to escape to.

Now extending to 92 square metres, the property has been comprehensively renovated, including exterior insulation, new windows, a full rewire and upgraded plumbing.

The centrepiece is the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room at the back.

It has charcoal grey kitchen cabinets, set in an L-shape, that sit flush against two walls and have subway-tiled splashbacks, where the units are not full-height.

There is plenty of storage here, including a pantry cum appliance garage.

A window into the sitting room brings evening sun into this part of the space.

It is a tri-aspect space with room for a dining table, and the lounge overlooks the garden.

The room mixes styles well.

The dining table has moulded legs and round edges, bought at auction from Marshs in Cork, which the owners have teamed with noughties, chrome-legged, oxblood red dining chairs, 'borrowed' from their parents.

Double doors lead out to the garden, which is a decent size.

It been maturely landscaped, planted and paved.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms.

The principal bedroom at the front has an ensuite, which is the only bathroom upstairs.

There is, however, a second bathroom, a shower room, accessed via the utility downstairs, handy for small kids.

Teens who perch on the toilet scrolling on their phones will love this escape space.

There are solar panels on the roof at the front.

"We don't pay for electricity from April to September, depending on the sun," the owners say.

There is off-street parking for one car.

Russell Estate Agents is seeking €685,000 for the property.
