A detached four-bedroom house in a great location has been a comfortable home for one family for around 40 years.
Somerleyton, 9A Sandycove Avenue West, Sandycove, Co Dublin, faces the small park on the corner of the coast road and Sandycove Avenue West, a short stroll from Sandycove beach and the Forty Foot.
It has views across Scotsman’s Bay towards Dún Laoghaire pier from bay windows in the livingroom and the main bedroom upstairs.

Its location and lovely gardens are the plus points of a property which the new owners are likely to want to refurbish.
Built in 1936, the house has been well maintained but is dated: for example, new owners might well create one large room at the back of the house to take the place of the existing kitchen/breakfastroom and sunroom.
The 178sq m (1,828sq ft) four-bedroom house is for sale by private treaty through Knight Frank for € 1.2 million.
The bright livingroom, interconnecting diningroom and sunroom run from the front to the back of the house on the left of the front hall.
A curtain pulls across to separate the sunroom at the back of the house – with four rooflights, and windows looking over the garden – from the diningroom if needed. A cosy family room at the front of the house opens off the kitchen/breakfastroom.
There’s an alcove in the hall for hanging coats. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, and two singles.
The main bedroom at the front has good views over Scotsman’s Bay; the smallest of the four bedrooms is used as a study.
The upstairs landing is painted a dramatic red, and the family bathroom has been revamped and has attractive blue and white tiles.
Outside there’s a patio area and a long manicured back lawn bordered by mature plants and shrubs. There is also a front lawn and room to park cars in the front driveway.
