Loughlinstown/€1m+:Sherry FitzGerald is asking just over €1 million for 8 Commons Road, Loughlinstown, Co Dublin, a detached five-bedroom house with 185sq m (2,000sq ft) of living space.

Commons Road is a leafy, curving slip road off the N11, just before the Shankill roundabout. The road has a variety of house styles, but ends with half a dozen detached houses built in the 1980s. Opposite these is an open area, not particularly large, but which will no doubt be built upon soon. To the rear of the house is another stretch of green trees.

The house was tastefully extended a few years ago with a new television room and extra bedroom replacing the original garage. You enter through a new glass walled porch that leads to the hall, with solid hardwood floor and main living room to the left. Smoked glass retractable doors separate this room from a second sitting area to the rear.

The owners have combined dining and kitchen. The kitchen has traditional style painted units and a stone floor. Two large glass sliding doors open the room to the deck and garden.
