Start a new chapter at book-lover's two-bed terrace in Ranelagh for €595,000
Address : 1 Walkers Cottages, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 Price : €595,000 Agent : Young's View this property on One thing that's clear from the piles of books dotted throughout number 1 Walkers Cottages in Ranelagh is that the owner is a voracious reader. One of her favourite things about living here has been that it's equidistant – a 10-minute walk in each direction – between two of her favourite independent bookshops: Alan Hanna's Bookshop in Rathmines and The Company of Books in Ranelagh. Of course, that means it is also walking distance from the various cafes and restaurants in these sought-after Dublin 6 villages, as well as The Hill pub, which is just around the corner, that she says is a great local spot and often hosts live music and quizzes. On a quiet cul-de-sac away from traffic, the end-terrace, two-bedroom home extending to 83sq m (893sq ft) is also well connected to public transport links, with Dublin Buses and an airport bus service available around the corner, as well as the Ranelagh green-line Luas stop just a seven-minute walk away. The owner and her rescue wire fox terrier, Raggy, have lived here since 2022, when it was bought for €500,000, according to the Property Price Register. READ MORE Hallway.

Photograph: Viv van der Holst Raggy lazing by the fire Now that the owner can work remotely, she is moving back to the sunny southeast to live near her family, but she says she will miss the community feel of the area. Number 1 Walkers Cottages is now on the market with Young's Estate Agents, seeking €595,000. A major selling point of this property is that it offers off-street parking with a small east-facing yard to the front. Inside, there is a deep cabinet in the hallway for shoes and coats. There is further storage under the stairs, where there is space for a dryer. The livingroom sits to the right of the hallway, painted in a restful green with an exposed redbrick overmantel and a gas fire. It connects to the dining area of the kitchen/diningroom through a glazed door. The dining area is flooded with light from a roof light and hived off from the kitchen by a breakfast bar. Kitchen.

The main bedroom is spacious with plenty of built-in wardrobe space and a narrow balcony that you could fill with plants. The bathroom at the top of the stairs has a bath with a shower attachment; this room would benefit from modernisation. The property's Ber rating is E, so a prospective new owner may want to look into ways to improve that. Nevertheless, this property is likely to attract someone looking to live in a vibrant, sought-after area with a host of amenities on your doorstep and easy access to the city centre.

Former Cambridge and Northampton forward Youngs dies
Former Cambridge United, Northampton Town and Bury forward Tom Youngs has died at the age of 45. Youngs started his career with the U's and made 180 appearances between 1997 and 2003. He won promotion to the third tier with Cambridge in 1998-99. After 30 appearances in an injury-hit three seasons with Northampton, Youngs had a short spell at Leyton Orient before joining Bury in June 2005. He played 49 league games for the Shakers and scored seven goals in two seasons before a hip injury ended his playing career with non-league Mildenhall Town in 2011. Youngs was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014, before writing a memoir entitled, What Dreams are (Not Quite) Made of: No Fame, No Fortune, Just Football ... and Multiple Sclerosis. In their obituary, Cambridge wrote: "Tom will be remembered as a gifted player who, with probing, darting runs, intelligent positioning and poise in front of goal, graced the Abbey Stadium between 1997 and 2003." Northampton added: "Tom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a life-changing event that he faced with the same resilience and honesty that marked his entire career. "He later wrote a moving and insightful book reflecting on both his footballing days and his experience with the disease, offering comfort and inspiration to many."

Ex footballer dead aged just 45 after battle with MS former as club confirm heartbreaking news
Tom Youngs, who played Cambridge, Northampton Town, Leyton Orient and Bury, has died at the age of 45 after a battle with multiple sclerosis Former Cambridge United striker Tom Youngs has tragically passed away at the age of 45 following a battle with multiple sclerosis (MS), the club confirmed. Youngs, who was diagnosed with MS in 2014, died on Sunday in a hospice in Bury St Edmunds. The ex-Us star is survived by his wife, Chelle, and their two daughters. Youngs joined the club's academy at just 10 years old and spent six successful years in Cambridge's first team from 1997 to 2003, scoring 48 goals in 180 appearances. Cambridge United released a statement on Monday announcing the heartbreaking news. "The news of the death on Sunday of former Cambridge United forward Tom Youngs, at the tragically early age of 45, came as a shock to all connected with the club," it read. "Tom, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014, will be remembered as a gifted player who, with probing, darting runs, intelligent positioning and poise in front of goal, graced the Abbey Stadium between 1997 and 2003." Youngs signed YTS terms in 1996 while still studying for his A levels at school. However, he showed such promise that he bypassed the rest of his YTS stint at the age of 17 and signed a two-year professional contract. The club ended their tribute with: "He signed YTS terms in 1996 while staying on at school to study for A levels, but showed such promise that a year later, at the age of 17, he bypassed the rest of his YTS stint and signed a two-year professional contract. Rest in peace, Tom." Northampton Town, where Youngs played for two years after joining for £50,000 in 2003, also paid tribute to him. On their website, the Cobblers wrote: "Tom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a life-changing event that he faced with the same resilience and honesty that marked his entire career." Youngs went on to join Leyton Orient and Bury after leaving Sixfields, combining his football career with studying sports journalism at the University of Staffordshire. Following his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis in 2014, he wrote a moving book about his experiences with the disease, which provided comfort and inspiration to many. Tributes have flooded in for the former player, with his ex-Bury teammate Jon Newby posting on X: "Very sad to read this. Played with Tom at Bury and he was a nice, very likeable fella. Even when he was at Bury, I remember him speaking very fondly about his time at Cambridge and how much he loved it there." One Cambridge fan echoed those sentiments, writing: "Absolutely devastated, spoke to Tom at the Blackpool game earlier in the season reminiscing the good ol days, you will always be in our hearts."
