Description
DESCRIPTION:
1 Saint James Terrace is an end terrace period home located in a quiet row of houses next to Star of the Sea Church in Sandymount. While lovingly maintained over the years, this property is bound to appeal to buyers who may wish to put their own stamp on a property and remodel this property into their dream home. A close walk to Sandymount Village, Sandymount Strand and the City Centre, the location is much sought after. The house has a self contained Garden Flat, and is being sold as one unit, with full vacant possession and subject to Probate.
ACCOMMODATION:
Set back from the street and accessible through a pedestrian gate, 1, St James Terrace has a set of granite steps leading you to the front door. Through the door, which is original to the house, you enter a bright entrance hallway, with many period details. There are two interconnecting reception rooms, providing a dual aspect of the front and back. To the rear of the house there is kitchen in the return to the rear. There is also access to the garden by stone steps with handrail. Upstairs on the first floor return is a bathroom and guest wc. On the first floor are three bedrooms. The master is a large room with original fireplace overlooking the rear of the house. The other two bedrooms overlook the main road, one double with original fireplace and one single room. Downstairs at garden level in the self contained apartment. Access is from the front of the building underneath the stone steps. There is a small hallway leading to a large livingroom/dining room. From there down through a hallway you access the kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. There is also access to the garden from this level. In the garden is a large store room/utility, which houses the washing machine and dryer. The immaculately maintained garden is set in lawn with a stone path and flower beds to one side. Large stone walls provide excellent privacy.
To the rear of the house is access to a field which is for the sole use of all occupants of St James’s Terrace, held under a leasehold agreement. The date of the Lease is the 23rd March 1890, and the lease is for a period of 150 years from the 25th March 1888 at a yearly rent of £18. The Lease therefore runs out in 2038. The new owners will take the interest in the lease of the field for the remaining term of the lease.
