RANELAGH €895,000:The narrow laneways that run between Ranelagh and Rathmines have discerning types living in several such one-off mews houses.

Number 9 Mountpleasant Parade is a more traditional type of build but should be equally attractive to such buyers. The three-bedroom, end-of-terrace house is set in a private cul-de-sac tucked just off the main Ranelagh Road in a rabbit warren of one-way lanes and side streets.

This redbrick is also a great-sized family home. At 141sq m (1,520sq ft) it's much bigger inside than it appears on the outside. The house is asking €895,000 by private treaty with agent Felicity Fox.

Downstairs, there are two interconnecting reception rooms with original doors in between. Both are spacious, well proportioned and each has an open fire.

The diningroom is to the front while the lounge overlooks the L-shaped east-facing garden which has car access from Ranelagh Mews.

The garden is well planted and has both lounge and kitchen French door access. There are sash windows throughout. The kitchen is simply laid out and big enough for a table and chairs.

Upstairs there's a roomy landing with space to set up a home office area. There are three double bedrooms, two ample rooms and a third more compact double.

The family bathroom could do with a makeover but has room for a separate shower and bath.

This is an ambient house in a quiet and chi-chi location that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
