Sandymount house Dublin 4: €1.8mA two-storey over basement house at 18 Sandymount Road in Dublin 4 carries an AMV of €1.8 million and is being auctioned on May 23rd through Colliers Jackson Stops.

The mid-terrace house has 200sq m (2,150sq ft) of living space and three bedrooms with views towards Dublin Bay from the upper floors.

At hall level, two interconnecting reception rooms are wider than is usual in similar period houses. Both are exceptionally bright. Wooden shutters have been stripped, floorboards exposed and the effect is of a graceful entertaining space.

Period features are in place and a curved window on the upstairs return floods the hall with light.

The first floor has three large bedrooms, each with good views - including those towards Dublin Bay from the rear. Two have en suites, cleverly inserted between the rooms so their character is not damaged.

At garden level there is a large family area, comprising a kitchen and sittingroom.

The cosy kitchen, with traditional range, has doors straight to the garden. These are flush with the patio so there are no descending steps.

There is also a large family bathroom at this level, with central claw-foot bath.

The potential to extend this house is high: the extremely private garden is 95ft long.

There is residential disk parking to the front. Some neighbouring houses have created off-street parking for two cars by opening up the railings of the front garden, so this may also be possible if still permissible.

The owner says one of the best things about the house is the location near the East Link and Dart, with Sandymount strand just around the corner.
