Sandymount: €560,000  With an address like Beach Road, a two-bedroom cottage new to the market in Sandymount with Gunne is sure to attract plenty of viewers.

Bursting with charm, 21 Beach Road has been refurbished to walk-in standard, its interior providing 99 sq m (1,066 sq ft) of space. The agents are guiding €560,000 prior to auction on May 6th, a realistic estimate. From either angle there are advantages, with uninterrupted sea views at the front and a west-facing back garden. The restoration was carried out with regard for the original features. Walls were stripped back and replastered, cast-iron fireplaces restored and shutters and floors sanded and polished.

Bedroom one is a bright double room looking out to the front. The sittingroom has a cast-iron fireplace, stripped shutters, sash windows and a pine floor.

Down a flight of stairs is a big open-plan kitchen / sittingroom. Here, the pine ceiling has recessed lights. Kitchen units are white. Velux windows and French doors to the back garden provide plenty of light. A fitted utility area leads to a shower room. The staircase spirals from the kitchen to an upstairs main bedroom. White walls separate the timber floor and pine panelled ceiling. A row of Velux windows in the ceiling to skirting level give views of the garden.

The front garden is railed and gravelled, with planting and a path to the front door. West-facing and decked for easy maintenance, the back garden has climbers on the stone walls.
