Description
Located in a much sought after residential neighbourhood just one kilometre from Greystones town centre, this must-see house has been greatly enhanced with the addition of a well-executed extension that has created an exceptionally spacious kitchen/living/dining room at the heart of the home. Completed in 2019, this welcoming family living space includes a high-end contemporary kitchen with extensive cabinetry and countertop space, an exceptionally large separate island unit that also serves as a breakfast bar, and a complete range of integrated appliances. With a total floor area of just under 600 square feet, this space is larger than many one-bedroomed apartments, making it big enough to also comfortably accommodate a larger-than-average dining table while leaving plenty of room for a spacious and relaxing living area. Directly overlooking the property’s larger-than-average back garden, the room enjoys direct access to an extensive sandstone patio via large, bifolding ceiling-height glass doors, which together with rooflight Velux windows flood the entire space with natural light. It all adds up to a tremendous feeling of light and space, boosted by the kitchen/dining/living room’s layout in open plan configuration with the property’s sitting room. At the front of the house, a porch with a glass outer door providing enhanced privacy and security leads on to the main entrance hall. Stepping through the front door immediately provides pleasing views through the kitchen/dining/living room to the garden beyond. Directly off the hall is a good-sized family room overlooking the front of the house. This is currently in use as a cosy snug/TV lounge, but would be equally suitable for a wide variety of alternative purposes such as a home office, study or den. Downstairs accommodation is completed by a guest bathroom, also off the hall. Upstairs, there’s a landing leading to five bedrooms, including the main bedroom with ensuite bathroom overlooking the front garden, and a well-appointed family bathroom. From the landing, a pull-down ladder provides access to the attic, which is semi-floored for storage. With a total floor area of almost twice the size of the average three-bedroomed semi-detached home, this is a property with lots of living space, but for anyone seeking more, there’s potential to do so by converting the attic and/or extending one or more of the bedrooms. Improvements carried out when the extension was completed include the installation of high grade laminate wooden floors and the installation of an A-rated boiler for the property’s gas-fired central heating system. Outside, there’s a low maintenance front garden with an artificial lawn, mature boundary hedges and a cobble lock driveway that can comfortably provide off-street parking for two cars. To the rear of the property, that sandstone patio spanning the full width of the house is complemented by additional seating areas further out into the garden. Spanning close to 2,400 square feet, this garden is definitely on the large side. An ideal spot for barbecues, hosting families or entertaining friends on warm days, it also includes a lawn, a timber shed, planting areas and mature boundary hedges and trees enhancing privacy.
