It looks like what it is — a former showhouse with those colourful ‘designer’ touches, so No 22 Wyndgates really is a walk-in job for new owners. Just bring smart, colour-coordinated clothes.

The four-bed semi-d is towards the front of the O’Brien and O’Flynn development up at Maryborough Ridge, above Douglas and the golf club development, and at the €370,000 guide includes all furniture, drapes, rugs, and kitchen appliances, stress selling agents Ann O’Mahony and Michael O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald, adding “as an original showhouse, it’s in immaculate decorative order.”
