It ticks a lot of boxes.

If you’re in the market for an affordable home in the city centre, No. 14 Friar Street could be your next address.

Guiding at €195,000, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse might look compact from the red brick exterior, but inside the rooms are bright and airy.

The kitchen is good to go, with solid oak timber flooring, fitted storage and an integrated hob and oven. Just off this room, a handy utility room is plumbed for a washing machine and also features shelving for all your cleaning and laundry essentials as well as a hot press (an Irish must-have).

French doors off the kitchen lead to a spacious and completely private decked outdoor area, with lovely views of St Finbarr’s Cathedral – a real treat in a small city property.

One of the bedrooms also opens onto the deck, so you can step out and enjoy the morning sunshine the minute you jump out of bed. This room boasts an ensuite with a shower and a quirky porthole window.

There’s a bathtub and a shower in the main bathroom too, so if you’re sharing with a flatmate, there’ll be no queue for the loo before work.

An extended pied-à-terre just a two-minute stroll from the buzz of the city, 14 Friar Street would make a perfect city pad for someone who is trading down or a sweet starter home with no commute for a city worker.
