A detached split-level house across the road from Loughlinstown Pitch & Putt Club packs a good amount of general living space into its 198sq m (2,131sq ft): there’s a sittingroom and study – which could be a bedroom – on the first floor and downstairs, a large open plan living/diningroom and a kitchen/breakfastroom of the same size.

Number 2 Woodview, Commons Road, Loughlinstown, Dublin 18, is one of six detached houses built 15 years ago. The four/five-bed, well maintained and nicely decorated, is for sale through Savills for €660,000.

Exterior steps lead up to the middle floor of the house, with the front door opening into a short hall: a smallish sittingroom on the left has a tall bay window, while a room on the right – a bedroom in some of the houses – is a study with fitted shelves. There are two small double bedrooms on either side of the hall behind these rooms, and a part-tiled family bathroom.

One set of stairs at the end of the hall leads down to the main living quarters, the other upstairs. Downstairs, a long open-plan living/diningroom stretches from the front to the back of the house. A glazed door in the floor-to-ceiling bay window at the front of the house opens from the livingroom to stairs leading up to the front garden; French windows off the diningroom open into the back garden.

The open-plan kitchen and breakfastroom also run from the front to the rear of the house. There’s a neat island unit in the terracotta-floored kitchen; the breakfastroom, like the diningroom, has French doors into the back garden.

Upstairs are two good-sized double dormer bedrooms, both en suite. There’s an impressive amount of storage space in  the house, and the bedrooms have good fitted wardrobes as well as under-eaves storage.

A wide patio borders a lawn, all very private, with a high hedge at the rear. There’s room to park in the gravelled front drive.

Commons Road connects Shanganagh Road to the N11, just before Loughlinstown roundabout.
