Number 60 Sandford Road is one of a small terrace of redbrick houses situated around the corner from Marlborough Road and opposite the church on Sandford Road. The four-bedroom house is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald with a guide price of £675,000 (€857,073).

Built in 1880, this house has a modest exterior which belies the amount of space inside. While built to a traditional pattern, the house has various unexpected nooks and crannies with two extra rooms tucked away. The hall has all the original Victorian spaciousness with lovely egg and dart plasterwork.

Off this are the two interconnecting reception rooms with a window to the front and rear of the house, and at the back of the hall, a door leads to a completely renovated kitchen, with a spacious utility room and cloakroom off it. The present owners have reorganised the space in the kitchen, closing up one door and repositioning it in the utility room and making good use of hidden bits and pieces of space to integrate a full-size fridge-freezer and Oakline kitchen units with integrated hob and oven. The ceiling here has a tongue and groove coved ceiling painted white with recessed lighting and there are large square quarry tiles on the floor.

Like many Victorian houses, the return gives a lot of extra space. On the first return is a good bedroom. Behind this is a room currently accessed from the utility room but which could be incorporated into this bedroom as an en suite or as a study area.

Upstairs, the main bedroom takes up the width of the house on the first floor. Behind this is another good bedroom. Here the original window was replaced at some stage by a more modern horizontal one. On the second return there is a half-panelled bathroom with Victorian-style suite and behind this is a small, pretty bedroom with tiny cast-iron fireplace. Also on the landing is a very large walk-in hot press.

Up a further flight of stairs is an attic room, currently used as an office, lit by three Velux windows, which retains a storage cupboard under the eaves.

Outside, the front garden has been gravelled and planted and has off-street parking, while the back garden has been paved. The plants here are all relatively young.

The house has been decorated to a high standard throughout and makes for a modern home that is easy to live in while retaining its period charm.
