Tucked away on the charming Primrose Street in Phibsborough, this two-bedroom home (c.80 sq m / 861 sq ft), built circa 1910, combines period character with modern efficiency, boasting a distinctive yellow brick façade of Dolphin's Barn brick, a rear extension added by the current owners in 2004, and a superb B2 energy rating. Lovingly upgraded since then, it features high quality double-glazed windows, a Worcester Bosch gas boiler, Nest thermostat, extensive insulation, solar panels with battery storage, and a Stanley solid-fuel stove, while retaining original fireplaces and floorboards upstairs.
