Blackrock: €1.8m  Houses on Waltham Terrace in Blackrock don't come on the market too often so there should be tremendous interest in number 2, a four-bedroom Regency style villa on the corner with Mount Merrion Avenue.

It's set to make over €1.8 million at auction through Lisney on May 11th.

With 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) of living space, it's a spacious and interesting house with rooms on several levels. Well cared for over the years, it's likely to be refurbished by new owners. There are three reception rooms, two of which are at garden level along with a kitchen which overlooks the back garden. A large landing between the ground and upper floor is used as a sittingroom with a small study leading off it. At hall level there' s a drawingroom and a bedroom; two further bedrooms and a bathroom lead off the top landing. A fourth bedroom is a lovely peaceful room at ground level. With good-sized front and back gardens and garage, it's an appealing house in a sought after location.
