It's not just colour for the sake of kerb appeal here: From the front door on through the living room and out to the back garden, there are dashes of lilac at this semi-detached Frankfield home.

The fence in the rear garden of 127 Curragh Woods will definitely help make the greens of flowerbed plant and shrubs ‘pop’ once new owners get planting.

Built in the 2000s, this three-bed has had several well-considered upgrades.

Notably, a full kitchen refit was completed in 2021 and now features a quartz worktop, and an American-style fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher. A pull-out pantry gives a handy space-saving touch, too.

The hallway and kitchen floor tiles were fitted in 2021. Both bathrooms got a 2019 upgrade, with new, neutral-toned tiling and LED mirrors. And the living room floors were fitted in 2023, followed by upstairs flooring in 2025.

The front door itself is a triple-glazed composite, so that lilac colour should last and last.

Two of the three bedrooms are doubles and the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.

Situated just to one side of a green area in a cul de sac off Grange Rd, this house is in a handy location for busy lives: It’s within easy access of the N27 and N40 South Link Rd and is a downhill drive to Douglas Court and Douglas Village shopping centres.

Regular bus services off Grange Rd connect you to the city centre.

Five secondary schools are within three kilometres and a large mixed primary school is just a kilometre away. “With great access and that open green to the front, this house is going to be very popular with first-time-buyers and young families — but we’re also likely to meet some downsizers too,” notes Laura Pratt, of Lisney SIR.

VERDICT: Nicely upgraded and with a practical and homely vibe.
