A squared-away one-bedroom upside-down residence in former D4 barracks is army parlance for walk-in condition. It has a shared front entrance, communal gardens, and a separate home office, €525k.
Formerly a training depot for the British Army, Beggars Bush Barracks on Haddington Road, Dublin 4, was the first garrison to be handed over to the Irish Provisional Government in 1922.
Today the barracks is no more. Inside its walls, the redevelopment in the early 1990s included the conversion of the army buildings into a mix of houses, apartments and duplexes.
Address: 14 Haddington Square, Beggars Bush, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 Y5X5
Asking price: €525,000
Agent: Owen Reilly
The location is home to the Irish Labour History Society Museum, which is based in the former central garrison headquarters, and the National Print Museum, which is based in the former Garrison Chapel.
This one-bedroom plus home office on Haddington Square is at the back of the development, overlooking a green.
It is one of just two duplex units within the double-fronted property. They share the front entrance.
You enter number 14 at its lower level, where the accommodation and two bathrooms are.
The property, which extends to 69 square metres, includes a bright and roomy double bedroom that opens out to communal gardens. It is ensuite.
Across the hall is a second room, whose six-over-six sash window is visible to the left of its white front door.
At just five square metres in size, it is too small to be considered a bedroom under building regulations but works as a separate study for someone who doesn’t need to be office-bound five days a week.
A spiral staircase winds up to the broken-plan living area, which is under a pitched and beam ceiling.
It is divided into two dual-aspect zones, one on either side of the stairwell.
The light-filled, eat-in kitchen features a mix of white and stainless-steel cabinets,
The lounge is equally bright and has space for two decent-sized two-seater sofas.
