Phibsborough: €405,000Buyers in the market for a bolthole near the city centre will be interested in a gem of a cottage in a cul-de-sac off Infirmary Road in Dublin 7.

Number 14 Findlater Street is a two-bedroom house with a charming and quirky interior and a reasonable sounding asking price of €405,000 through Douglas Newman Good.

Through the cheerful red front door is a long living room with a striking fireplace and polished timber floors. There's a neat office space marked by bookshelves, and a dining area leading into the good sized kitchen with a large window overlooking the patio garden which, though tiny, is home to a Barna shed that's plumbed for a washing machine.

Two bedrooms are both on the cosy side, as one might expect, and there is also additional sleeping space in a mezzanine reached by a timber staircase that runs up past more fitted bookshelves. There is also a sizeable attic for storage.
