Just off the N11, beyond the landmark Byrnes of Galloping Green, sequestered off the busy thoroughfare in a quiet cul-de-sac, is a small development of just five large detached bungalows.
While our countryside is studded with this style of home, they are a rarity in Dublin city and its suburbs.

Number 1 is positioned in its quietest corner and has views of Dublin Bay from its elevated site.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom C1 Ber rated gabled property features accommodation to the right of its entrance hall, with all the living space to the left where it overlooks the large and private garden.
The hall is light-filled, illuminated from above by a skylight with plenty of space to dump school bags and gym gear without any of it becoming a trip hazard.
The kitchen is to the back and is set in an L-shape to comprise a family lounge area, a Shaker-style kitchen and a dining area big enough to accommodate a dining table for eight.
Doors open out to the garden from here.
In the adjoining lounge area, a wood-burning stove is set into a tiled recess that looks smart and also helps reflect heat into the room.
It is one of the many considered details within the property, which is decorated in a soft range of cool neutrals.
These include the waterlily green of the kitchen cabinetry.
Honey-toned polished timber floors underfoot add a sense of continuity through this side of the property.
The splashback is finished in handmade ceramic tiles that match the colour of the Smeg range cooker.
The double butler style sink will accommodate a family’s needs, and the units are topped with slim stone worktops.
The layout includes a b-shaped island, offering plenty of space for the family to perch and/or sit, especially on busy workday mornings.
The kitchen opens out to the garden, which is set out in lawn, interspersed with large paved patios.
It is big enough to get the sun all day, is exceedingly private and has a garden room where you can escape the weather, be it rain or too much sun.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room.
The same polished flooring is a feature of the dual aspect living room, which is separate from the kitchen.
The principal bedroom runs the depth of the property and includes an ensuite bathroom.
Three more good-sized bedrooms share a shower room.
There is a guest w.c off the hall.
The property, which extends to 193 square metres, is seeking €1,365 million through agents Sherry FitzGerald Blackrock
