A four-bedroom semi-detached house with off street parking and potential to extend has come on the market in Ranelagh. 30 Anna Villa is a late Victorian home situated close to the junction with Mountainview Road. It has many period features such as ceiling cornicing and a marble fireplace - though new owners are likely to refurbish this comfortable family home. It will be auctioned by Sherry FitzGerald on April 5th and has a guide price of £440,000.

The downstairs rooms are high-ceilinged. A porch leads into the entrance hall which has decorative plasterwork and a dado rail as well as a an attractive arch. The drawing-room is off the hall and has a marble fireplace with cast-iron inset and a fine bay window. This room would originally have led into the dining-room next door but the connecting entrance now features bookshelves and display niches, which could be removed.

The dining-room is smaller and no longer has a fireplace. The kitchen is in the rear return and has a range of fitted cupboards and a sink unit. It has a sash window overlooking a side garden, as well as a smaller window. There is scope to extend out and create a much larger kitchen/breakfast-room. The kitchen also has a Neff oven and the walls are partly tiled.

Beyond the kitchen is a utility-cum-shower room plumbed for a washing machine. It has storage presses, tongue-and-groove panelled walls, shower and lavatory. The family bathroom is small and in the upstairs return. It has timber-panelled walls and is partially tiled. New owners are likely to extend the bathroom into the bedroom, which is a single and has a hot press.

Three further bedrooms are on the first floor which has a large landing with stained-glass windows. They are all doubles, with the rear one having a particularly good view over the playing grounds of Sandford Park School.

The front garden is railed with off-street parking to the side. There is a large side garden as well as a secluded rear garden set in lawn with herbaceous borders and a small pond. Also in the garden is a small studio which could be used as a study-workroom.

The house is in the heart of Ranelagh, close to schools, colleges and shops and within walking distance of the city.
