The house, which is on the market for €495,000, features an open plan L shaped kitchen dining living space and off the kitchen is a fully appointed utility room. A small reception room to the front of the house ideally serves as a cosy TV room, home office or a playroom quietly tucked away from the rest of the house.

On the first floor there are four extra spacious bedrooms and bathroom. From the landing a sealable door leads to the first-floor space of the apartment. This area includes a home office and large walk-in storage area. 

"Attached and integrated, yet also self-contained, the superb two-bedroom apartment is ideal for an elder or younger family member living independently at home. It may also be suitable for a business space or indeed it could generate a second income as a luxury rental property. Boasting spacious accommodation, it enjoys a large kitchen dining room, master bedroom ensuite, second bedroom and bathroom," said the selling agents. 

Outside there is an attractive lawn, twin entrances and plenty of parking. The back offers a little private haven and suntrap with a balconied deck, large granite patio area, mature beds and shrubbery, and family and pet-safe gates and boundaries.
On top of that there is a spacious garage and home gym.
