Sandycove: €1.1 million Remax Property Choice expects bids over €1.1 million for a terraced villa-style house at 46 Sandycove Road in Sandycove, Co Dublin that goes to auction on July 12th. The selling agent is Tom O'Higgins.

The pretty four-bedroom house has a surprisingly large interior of 192sq m (2,068sq ft) and a sheltered garden to the rear.

It's in an ideal location, close to Sandycove seafront and within walking distance of the shops of Glasthule and the village of Dalkey.

A flight of granite steps leads from street level up to the front door which opens into a spacious hallway with original cornicework.

To the right are two interconnecting reception rooms with polished floorboards and attractive painted cast-iron fireplaces.

There are two good-sized bedrooms on the other side of the hall, and a well-fitted shower room off the lower landing.

Downstairs is a spacious kitchen opening directly into a family room with fireplace. The kitchen also overlooks a garden room that is accessed from the rear hallway.

There are two bedrooms at this level, one of which is used as a study and has a store room leading off it.

A big bathroom completes the accommodation at this level.

The walled back garden has pedestrian access to a laneway.

The house is ready to walk into, a fact that will increase its appeal to buyers seeking to trade down to a manageable home by the sea.
