Positioned in a quiet cul de sac within the much sought after Heathervue development, this immaculately presented family home is in showhouse condition, having undergone a series of major improvements within the past two years.
These include the installation and renovation of a new kitchen, new bathroom, high-grade laminate wooden floors, complete redecoration of all rooms and most recently (April 2023) new double-glazed windows and exterior doors.
Impressive as they are, these works are only half the story as this is also a property with outstanding potential, with full planning permission in place for major extension works that will more than double its existing floor area.
Existing accommodation begins with a good-sized entrance hall, featuring a highly durable laminate hardwood floor that continues on into the kitchen-dining room to create pleasing sense of continuity between the two spaces.
Directly overlooking the back garden, the open plan kitchen-dining room includes double glass doors connecting the dining room to the back garden, a contemporary kitchen with floor and eye level storage and extensive countertop space.
Also off the hall is a well proportioned and inviting living room overlooking the front garden, with feature fireplace with alcoves to either side, again presented to the high standard that is a hallmark of this property.
Upstairs, a carpeted stairway and landing leads to three bedrooms – one at the back and two at the front, one of which is currently in use as nursery but equally suitable for use as a home office or other purpose, along with a new and contemporary family bathroom featuring quality tiling, sanitary ware and fittings, including an electric waterfall shower.
Thanks to the property’s elevated position at the highest point within the estate, the back bedroom commands outstanding sea and countryside views of Bray Head, the Little Sugar Loaf and the Greystones coastline as far as Dublin Bay.
Outside, there’s a large hard surface drive in the front garden providing comfortable off-street parking for two cars. To the rear is a spacious and secluded back garden with a sun patio directly to the rear of the house, leading onto a lawn adjoined by mature plants and shrubs. Tall boundary hedges and trees enhance the garden’s privacy by screening it from outside view and ensuring it is not overlooked. The back garden also includes a timber garden shed.
Under the approved plan drawn up by well-known local architects Arc Design, the existing floor area would more than double from 82 to 196 square metres (882 to 2,109 square feet) by extending the property to the front, side and rear.
Downstairs, the plan provides for a significant extension to the existing kitchen-dining room, a new pantry, utility room (with laundry chute), downstairs shower room-bathroom and an extension to the existing living room at the front. An additional ground floor bedroom is included in the plans that could also be used as an extra office, playroom or other purpose.
Overall the number of bedrooms would be increased from three to five. Upstairs the plan includes a new office, while the attic conversion includes a substantial new feature master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom and large dormer window making the most of the countryside and sea views.
Architectural plans with full details of the planning permission are available from the selling agent on request.

It is in a highly convenient location just seven minutes’ walk via a pedestrian short-cut at the end of the estate to the bustling town centre of Greystones, with its wide-ranging choice of supermarkets, shops, boutiques, stores and other retail outlets.
The town centre also offers the great selection of pubs, cafés, bistros, restaurants and amenities that make it such a popular lifestyle choice.
The property is within walking distance of an excellent choice of schools.

There’s also a good choice of pre-school and Montessori schools.
Greystones is home to wide variety of sports clubs including soccer, rugby, GAA, tennis, sailing, cricket and rowing, while an impressive list of local leisure amenities includes Greystones Marina and the Shoreline Leisure Centre, as well as the town’s popular beaches and seafront walk. A variety of Wicklow Mountain trails also within easy driving distance.
Commuting to Dublin couldn’t be easier thanks to the close proximity of the N11 and Greystones DART station. Local bus routes include the 184 and the 84 (both with stops just three minutes’ walk away), while the Aircoach from the town’s main street provides a direct link to Dublin airport.
Greystones has twice been the winner of a LivCom Award (the International Awards for Liveable Communities), first in 2008 and most recently in December 2021 when it was one of five towns from around the globe to be shortlisted for this prestigious accolade.
