Standing on its own third of an acre site set against the scenic backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains, this spacious and extensively modernised detached two-storey house combines the many benefits of country living with all the convenience of its close proximity to nearby Delgany, Greystones and Bray.
Built in the 1950s, the property is characterised by many attractive period features, including high ceilings, large well-proportioned rooms and an abundance of generous family living space.
Thanks to a series of improvement works by the current owners, the property has also been updated and enhanced to meet the highest standards of modern living.
As part of the renovation, the kitchen has been built out in open plan configuration with an adjoining family dining room, while the previous lounge has been similarly enhanced with the creation of an adjoining, open-plan sunroom that overlooks the garden, flooding the entire space with natural light.
The ground floor also includes a large guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a well-proportioned and airy living room and a bright home office illuminated by natural light through floor-to-ceiling glass. The ground floor is completed by a spacious entrance hall, guest bathroom, utility room and cloakroom, the latter three all off the kitchen.
Upstairs, there are four more bedrooms, including the main bedroom with a large ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe off, the latter fitted with a generous amount of shelves and hanging space along two facing walls.
Outside, the large site allows plenty of room for the house to be set well back from the road, from which the property is accessed via a substantial solid timber entry gate. The house is approached along a long gravelled drive, with lawns to either side and extending around the house. A timber deck to the side of the house provides an ideal spot to enjoy warm days, while the sunny aspect also ensures the sunroom/lounge, kitchen/diner and home office are are generously illuminated by natural light.

LOCATION
The property enjoys a secluded country setting 150 metres from the Grove Bar in Willow Grove, yet is also conveniently close to Delgany (four minutes drive away), Greystones (seven minutes) and Bray (12 minutes).
Between them, these centres offer a great selection of shops, stores and supermarkets, as well as recreational, sporting and leisure facilities for adults and children alike. There is also an excellent choice of nearby schools, as well as a host of cafés, restaurants, bars, specialist shops and delicatessens.
Positioned on the cusp of the Wicklow hinterland, the property is also well placed to explore the many walks, trails and other natural attractions the Garden County has to offer.
The N11 makes for easy commuting to Dublin, while the area is also well served by public transport, including buses and DART services from Greystones and Bray. The Aircoach service runs from Greystones to Dublin Airport, while Bus Eireann No 133 to the airport via Dublin city centre couldn’t be more convenient as it stops at the Grove Bar just two minutes walk away.
