VR tour: Get a close-up look at a wonderfully restored Drumcondra redbrick

Once a series of bedsits, 83 Clonliffe Road is now an airy family home.

If you have Google Cardboard or another VR headset, you can enjoy a full 3D experience by tapping the ‘goggles’ icon. T

HIS CHARMING REDBRICK terrace on Dublin 9′s Clonliffe Road may look small, but inside it’s a masterclass in space and style.

The current owners have redesigned the three-bedroom, two-bathroom interior to retain its period features, while also adding new ones that don’t compromise the property’s charm.

Accommodation is spread out over three floors, each meticulously designed. Upon entering, a short flight of stairs takes you to a a stylish living and dining area plus a storage room and family bathroom.

For any would-be chefs, the kitchen will be the ultimate selling point. It’s lit up by skylights, and features a beautiful island. There’s an easily-converted playroom off the living area on this floor, too.

A second living room closer to the front entrance is dominated by a cast-iron fireplace and bespoke shelving in the alcoves.

Go up again, and you’ll find two neutrally painted bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and space for double beds. The newly-converted attic serves as a third bedroom if needed.

Speaking to The Irish Times, the current owners revealed that 183 Clonliffe Road was a series of bedsits when they first purchased it in 2006. Within a year, it had been tastefully restored to its former glory as a family home.

Outside, there’s a large garage and a low-maintenance garden, and the property is only a five-minute stroll from the bustling village of Drumcondra, well-served by buses, Irish Rail – and near to Croke Park for any GAA fans.

    Interesting you describe Emma’s Father as a ‘Loyalist activist’ …. he’s a convicted terrorist and gun runner. Call a spade a spade

    @Brendán O’Cuinn: South African weapons supplied with full knowledge of British government into Belfast docks. One third of which went to Ulster resistance set up and run by none other that Ian Paisley snr and Peter Robinson of DUP. Weapons which have never been accounted for or decommissioned and are still a serous threat to peace on this island.

    FG/FF canvassing for SDLP, for one reason only. Their fear/hatred of SF. Poor craters.

    @Badger the witness: have SF indicated that they’ll get off their holes go to Westminster and vote against Borris?
    No they haven’t.
    So why would you back the party that intends to sit on their hands whIle Brexit looms?

    I see Finna Fail are continuing with their abstentionist policy on fielding candidates in the 6 counties

    As an Irish citizen living overseas I have been dissappointed with the Journal’s coverage of the UK election; particuluarly the NI segment.

    In fairness, Michael Harding wrote a witty article about using his phone as a daily bell for mindfulness today and the comments were even more bitter.
    I’ll saw some poor divil putting up posters for Claire Hanna tonight. It takes a bit of courage to do that on a cold old night like tonight.
    My own thoughts are that Pengelly was thrown in to attract the more middle class votes in South Belfast, but I doubt it will work this time.
    What I find strange about this article is that North Belfast, East Belfast, North Down, Foyle and Fermanagh are all tight, but they only focus on this one. Id say south Belfast is the most predictable right now of all I have listed.
