Asking Price: €175,000

The ground floor's entrance hallway boasts attractive feature timber panelling and a bright, open-plan kitchen cum dining room area.
Double sliding doors lead out to the rear garden (more on that in a moment).
The living room has an open fireplace and has been meticulously designed in the 2024 refurb with plenty of natural light, thanks to its large front-facing window.
The three bedrooms are upstairs, with the master bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, while the family bathroom completes the floor.
The garden space is the jewel in the home's crown, with raised flower beds and a fishing pond for the gardener in your life.
An attractive garden studio that was built by Connaught Garden Studios is toward the back, and is currently used as a home gym.
