Co Dublin: €1.15m Sherry FitzGerald expects bids over €1.15 million for 2 Annamount, a terraced Victorian house on Mulgrave Street in Dún Laoghaire, which is scheduled for auction on November 24th.

This neat three-bedroom house has been restored in sympathetic style and with its 162sq m (1,750sq ft) of living space, it will almost certainly appeal to empty nesters trading down from larger homes in the area. Affluent young couples will also be impressed by the layout and the location: Dún Laoghaire's shops, school and seafront are within walking distance.

Mulgrave Street runs up from Dún Laoghaire's main street, George's Street, to Mulgrave Terrace, where the villa-style houses are rising rapidly in value.

Number 2 Annamount is set back from the road with a front garden that has car-parking for up to four cars - a real bonus in this busy neighbourhood. Behind the house is a granite-walled courtyard-style garden that catches the afternoon sun. There is some scope to extend, subject to planning permission.

Inside, the two-storey house has a predictable layout with two interconnecting reception rooms leading off the hallway. The hall and both rooms have original stained and polished floorboards. The room to the front is a drawingroom with teal blue walls and a white marble fireplace. Double doors lead through to a family room which has wide patio doors opening onto the back garden. A brick fireplace is fitted with a remote controlled gas fired stove.

There are more patio doors leading from the kitchen, a pretty, bright room with cream units and toile de jouy-covered walls. Next door is a small utility room. Upstairs, the first of the bedrooms is on the return along with a bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath. A few steps lead up to the first floor where there's a second double bedroom and then double doors leading to the main bedroom - a big calm room which runs the full width of the house.
