Sandycove/£245,000-plus

In Sandycove, Co Dublin, Jackson-Stops McCabe is quoting a conservative guide of £245,000-plus for a pretty Victorian cottage at 30 Sandycove Avenue West, in advance of its auction on September 22nd. Located between Sandycove and Dalkey villages and within a short stroll of the harbour, the house would benefit from some modernisation, according to the agent. The livingroom stretches the length of the house and features a marble fireplace. There is also a diningroom/family room, bathroom, breakfastroom and fitted kitchen and two bedrooms. The house has front and back gardens.
