Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within a mature residential development, this spacious detached modern house enjoys a convenient location close to the centre of Arklow and within easy reach of the town’s wide-ranging choice of shops, schools, amenities and services.
With a total floor area of 125 sq m, 31 Blackberry Glade is 30% larger than the average three-bed semi. But that’s only half the story, thanks to a flexible internal layout with two of the property’s four bedrooms on the ground floor, making these ideal for a variety of uses such as a den, study, playroom or – especially useful for remote working – a home office.
At the front of the property is a larger-than-average (27.5 sq m) living room with a large bay window, flanked by smaller windows on either side, overlooking the front garden. To the rear is a similar-sized open plan kitchen-dining room, which (subject to planning regulation) offers excellent potential to build an even larger family living space by extending into the large back garden. Ground floor accommodation is completed by a good-sized entrance hall and downstairs bathroom with wc, whb and bath/shower.
Upstairs is a second bathroom with walk-in shower and two large bedrooms, one at the front and the other at the rear, the latter commanding mountain and mountain views off the Arklow coastline.
Outside, there’s that large back garden and a good-sized front, connected to each other by gated side entrances to either side of the house. Set out in lawn, both gardens present a blank canvas on which a new owner can create their own vision.
On the market in move-in condition, this property is an ideal choice as a spacious starter home, or for couples, singletons, downsizers and investors alike.
