Description

DNG is extremely proud to present 4 Hollybrook House to the market. If you are looking to own a little piece of Architectural history, then look no further. Hollybrook House, a Protected Building, is located beside the prestigious Brennanstown Riding School, just outside Bray and is described as 'an energetic essay of granite ashlar with transom and mullioned windows, gables and tall stacks. Clock tower, stables and folly tower'. The neo-Tudor house, designed by William Vitruvius Morrison (Architect of Killruddery House) was built in the late 1830s for the Hodson family, and the extensive demesne adjoins that of Lord Meath at Killruddery. The building was divided into five separate residences in the 1970s after a fire occurred in 1969. The house is approached through stately granite gate posts, and the long drive travels through mature trees inhabited by countless songbirds. The odd pheasant shuffles across the avenue and horses graze in the lush fields. Parking is in a large communal space at the front. The interior accommodation of No. 4, which extends to c. 166sq.m/1,787sq.ft is very tastefully presented and offers everything required for modern day living. A very welcoming and spacious entrance hallway has stairs to the first floor and good storage space for hanging coats etc., A rear lobby provides access to the rear garden. The main bedroom is downstairs and is positioned at the rear of the house with delightful views over the south facing private patio. This very bright and generous sized bedroom boasts a walk-in dressing room with excellent storage space. A Jack & Jill shower room is accessible from the main bedroom and has a fully tiled shower, double sink vanity unit with mirrored wall and WC. Also on the ground level is a very fine ligbrary/bedroom 3 with 5 beautiful windows (all with attractive plantation shutters). On the first floor is a magnificent open plan L-Shaped Living/Dining Room with impressive high ceilings and large windows that capture the magnificent views over the rear garden. At the top of the stairs is a magical space to sit and relax with a good book and enjoy the tranquillity and captivating view of the low picture window out toward the rear garden and the beautiful old granite stonework. Living Area: This is another wonderful space to unwind or entertain in. Plenty of room to gather around the multi-fuel stove for cosy evenings by the fire. Two long windows with full length shutters, frame an idyllic view of the gardens. Dining Area: A generous space for formal or informal dining. A spacious and extremely bright and very well-fitted kitchen (including an instant boiling tap & food waste disposal unit) has pleasant views overlooking the front garden. Large pantry/winestore with excellent storage. The original attic is home to a very large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and also has a walk-in dressing room/study. One of the main features of the property are the exceptional south facing c.100ft gardens to the rear which are completely private and are enveloped by mature hedges and trees. These are truly special gardens and are an absolute joy to be in. With the much sought-after south facing aspect they boast daylong sunshine. A private patio spot is framed by an array of mature plants and trees and is the perfect space in which to enjoy al-fresco entertaining. Some small steps lead to a slightly raised lawn which rolls away from the back of the house and has another private and secluded patio area. This delightful garden has been carefully designed and cared for and is planted with a selection of evergreen plants, trees and flowers and is bordered by a mature hedge. A real feature of the garden is the magnificent glass gazebo in the centre of the lawn. This is a wonderful space to sit in, day or night, under the stars or under cover from all types of weather. Title: Freehold Drainage: Septic tank. Heating: Oil fired radiator central heating.
