Exclusive development of A-rated homes a short stroll from Bray Seafront

DESCRIPTION
Launching soon, Maretimo is an exclusive development of four A-rated luxury homes set within a mature and much sought after existing residential area of Bray, Co. Wicklow, just a short stroll from the town’s iconic seafront.

In a convenient location on Edward Road that’s also within easy reach of Bray DART station, the town centre and local shops, supermarkets, services and schools, Maretimo comprises two house types.

• Three new-build two-storey homes, which are being completed to the highest standards of contemporary construction and design with state-of-the-art heating and energy efficiency, quality fittings and finishes, up-to-the-minute connectivity and a host of features both inside and out

• One existing two-storey, semi-detached house, which has been transformed into pristine show-home condition following a comprehensive top-to-toe retrofit that has brought the property right up to date in terms of 21st Century finishes, specifications and standards.

Combining a strikingly modern appearance with traditional building materials, each new-build features an eye-catching brickwork exterior and black flat tile finished roofs with large, Scandinavian style, double-glazed timber framed windows and doors.
Inside, there’s a host of high-spec contemporary features including bespoke kitchens incorporating quartz worktops, flat panelled built-in bedroom wardrobes, top quality sanitary ware in all bathrooms and the best of wall and floor tiling throughout.

A high standard of internal finishes includes spacious living areas, high ceilings,
quality joinery, satin finished woodwork and all rooms painted as standard.

Lower heating bills are assured, with each of these energy efficient houses an A-rated Mitsubishi heat pump, zonal controlled central heating, double-glazed windows and exterior doors, and a high level of insulation that together add up to a toasty A2 Building Energy Rating (BER) rating in line with Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standards.

With safety and security in mind, each house has carbon monoxide monitors, smoke detectors and window restrictors on the upper floors, as well as being wired for an alarm system. Connectivity is assured by the provision of Cat 6 cabling for high-speed broadband.

Outside, each house is provided with a low-maintenance driveway providing parking for two cars with access via a side gate leading to the back garden.

LOCATION

Maretimo is an exclusive infill development of four A-rated modern homes on Edward Road, a mature and sought after residential neighbourhood located just 300m from Bray’s landmark Seafront.

Enjoying a highly convenient location 1.6m from Bray’s Main Street, Maretimo is within easy reach of the many shops, stores, cafes, restaurants, pubs, amenities and services to be found in and around the bustling town centre.

These include the Mermaid Theatre, Bray Library, the Bray Primary Care Centre (a modern integrated health care hub opened in 2022) and Bray Central, a new shopping centre in the heart of the town that opened its doors in 2023.

Thanks to its close proximity to Strand Road, Maretimo is also within easy walking distance of the town’s famous seafront with its Victorian era promenade and esplanade overlooking Bray Beach. Much favoured by visitors and locals alike, the beach is particular favourite with sea swimmers who take the plunge there on an almost daily basis.

The southern end of the Seafront leads on to Bray Head and the scenic cliff walk to Greystones, while at the northern end is Bray Harbour. With its large swan colony, regular sailing activity and piers commanding views of Dublin Bay, this is a popular spot for families with young children, boating enthusiasts and walkers alike. From the harbour, a riverside walk along the banks of the River Dargle provides a pedestrian connection between the Seafront and town centre.

The Seafront is also home to a vibrant array of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, pubs, ice-cream parlours and takeaways, including several traditional fish and chip shops.

Bray offers an excellent choice of pre-school, primary and secondary schools, including St. Patrick’s, St. Fergal’s, Gaelscoil Uí Chéadaigh and the Bray School Project (Educate Together) national schools. Both Loreto and Presentation college are within walking distance of Maretimo, while the town’s other secondary schools include St. Kilian’s, St. Gerard’s, Coláiste Ráithín and North Wicklow Educate Together. The town is also home to the Bray Institute of Further Education.

Top local attractions include Killruddery Estate with its popular house, gardens, restaurant, farm shop and weekly farmers’ market, while a wealth of nearby sporting and recreational facilities includes the Shoreline Leisure Centre and Pool, a large park with soccer pitches and Bray Wheelers clubhouse.

The wider Bray area caters for a huge variety of sports including GAA, soccer, rugby, golf, sailing, cycling, athletics, swimming, tennis, bowls, badminton, bowling, and snooker.

Bray is well served by supermarkets, with branches of all the major operators present in the town. These include Supervalu (two stores with the second opening in 2021), Tesco and Lidl (two each), Dunnes Stores and Aldi. Centra, Spar and other operators offer a choice of local convenience stores.

Bray has an excellent public transport network, including the town’s DART station, which is a 15-minute walk or four minutes’ drive (1.3km) from Maretimo, providing rapid access to Dublin city centre and mainline rail services along the East Coast. Motoring access to Dublin and beyond is assured by the N11 and M50 just a short drive away.

Local Dublin Bus/TFI services include the 145 to Dublin, the 145a to Dun Laoghaire, the 184 to Greystones and the 155 to IKEA in Ballymun via the city centre. The Southern Cross route is also serviced by a privately operated (Finnegans) bus route, while two local Aircoach stops provide a direct link to Dublin airport.
