The site was converted into a mixed development of residential and commercial that includes Haddington Square, apartments called The Square, and Cannon Mews townhouses in the early 1990s.
There’s an interesting combination of other tenants that range from the Print Museum with its Press café to the Department of Environment, Climate and Community.
Number 22 Cannon Mews is a semi-detached townhouse hidden behind the square.
It comes with a designated parking space, and its front door is around the back from the parking lot, where it backs onto Haddington Road hostelry, Ryan’s Beggar’s Bush.
The yellow brick exterior is simply constructed. Inside, the property has an upside-down configuration. Its two bedrooms, both doubles, are at entrance level.
Each has a wall of sliding wardrobe space. The property’s only bathroom is also on this floor.
The open-plan room upstairs is what will wow home hunters. Light-filled thanks to its dual aspect, it is plainly decorated with great bones on which to build a lovely, private living space.
Windows and double doors run along the eastern side of the room while a bank of roof lights flank the western front.
This set-up gives you loads of wall space to adorn with art, mirrors and lighting.
Already it has bookshelves running the length of the room, waiting to be filled with a bibliophile’s favourite reads.
The stairs lead up to the kitchen area, which is a mix of colour-blocked, high gloss units in cream, grey, and burgundy.
The dining table is set along the covered balustrade.
The rest of the room is given over to the living area and is centred around a raised hearth with an inset stove on the gable wall, whose brick façade has been painted the same crisp white as the walls and ceiling.
A set of French doors open out to a Juliet balcony on the room's eastern side.
This is all the outside space that comes with the property.
What this offers is a lovely neighbourhood home within walking distance of Sandymount Strand, and of the city centre, with a Dart station within a 10-minute walk and a neighbourhood that has a great vibe with a supermarket and chichi Lotts & Co also on the doorstep.
Sherry FitzGerald Ballsbridge is seeking €540,000 for the two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence, which extends to 65 square metres and has a D BER rating.
