There are two bedrooms downstairs, along with a livingroom and study, while the upper floor has two big and colourful attic-style bedrooms.

Greystones: €1.3m

The five-bedroom house, dating from the late 19th century, has around 148sq m (1,600sq ft) of living space, though new owners may decide to give up a bedroom or two in favour of an additional bathroom or two. The well kept grounds include plenty of parking space.
