This Booterstown cottage on the market for €725,000 makes the most of its small footprint

An Arts and Crafts style cottage, built around 1915, 23 Beech Grove features plenty of original period details, while its owner has updated it to create a stylish, modern home. 

You enter the house into the living room, a long space with a picture window looking out to a courtyard. It has engineered oak flooring and an original exposed brick chimney breast with an antique oak mantelpiece and log burning stove.

This space leads through to both bedrooms, both of which have original cast iron Victorian fireplaces and exposed brick walls, while one has built-in wardrobes, and a restored original wooden sash window overlooking the central courtyard.

A hallway connects the front and back of the house, which is bright thanks to a large window. Off this space is the shower room, which has floor-to-ceiling tiles and a walk-in shower.

Towards the back of the house is the kitchen and dining space, a large room with a double height vaulted ceiling. A roof light and doors to the courtyard allow natural light in, while the combination of green units and exposed brick feels interesting yet calm. 

The courtyard is a space to relax outside, and features paving, raised planters and built-in seating, while the long front garden has a lawn.

This house is well located, just five minutes’ walk from the centre of Booterstown, with local shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as the park and DART station, giving you easy access to the city centre. It’s on sale through Sherry FitzGerald.
