Country peace in the city

Country peace in the heart of the city - that's 14 Sandford Avenue, Donnybrook, Dublin 4, and spacious and elegant house with major potential on a quarter-acre, with the grounds of Muckross Convent to the rear and the Dublin Mountains as a backdrop. It will be auctioned by Hamilton Osborne King on Tuesday next, and viewing is Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. The superbly-presented property has lavish and well-fitted accommodation on three levels, with tree-lined gardens and gravelled parking for eight or more cars. Two of the bedrooms are en suite, and there are five wc/whbs and three shower rooms.
