This double-fronted former council house in a quite cul-de-sac has two bedrooms upstairs with the potential for another downstairs. It is in need of complete modernisation but with some reconfiguring offers a lot of space, especially at ground floor level where the F Ber-rated property’s only bathroom is. It has a sizeable south-facing garden and there is off-street parking for one car.

• Plus: The house will adapt well to SEAI insulation grants and has potential to extend
• Minus: The oil-fired central heating system will need to be upgraded
