Description
Proudly standing on a 1.18-acre site approx. enjoying total privacy, peace, and seclusion, Ballycoyle is complemented with an idyllic setting along Glencree River boasting memorable views down the valley towards the Great Sugarloaf.
Formerly a small cottage, dating from circa 1875, this attractive residence has had a series of extensions over the years resulting with an extensive footprint measuring 300sqm/3,229sq ft approx. The interior is exceptionally presented, the attention to detail put into the design by the current owners is particularly impressive and an emphasis has been put into the energy performance of the property with new windows installed along with solar panels. The grand room proportions throughout are unique but also provide a degree of comfort and the split-level accommodation is practical for modern day living.
Entering the property, the tiled entrance hall comprises a storage press, shelved hot-press, and double doors lead into a vast reception hall at the centre of the property. From here, there is access to four separate wings on each corner of the property. Starting on left is the dual aspect kitchen dining room boasting fabulous views out over the valley and access to a raised deck in the garden. The kitchen area is fitted with a generous range of base and eye level units with granite worktops and appliances, and off this area there is a convenient pantry. Staying to the lefthand side, to the rear is the formal living room overlooking the garden which similarly has access to the raised deck. Here a bespoke stove takes centre stage and the end of the living room there is a guest en-suite bedroom. Returning to the front of the property, to the right is the spacious principal bedroom incorporating a large walk-in wardrobe and contemporary bathroom with jacuzzi bath and separate walk-in shower. Moving towards to the rear, there is a versatile room which is currently in use as a playroom and beyond this room there are two additional double bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom dividing the two. Off to the right, a second hall containing a W.C and utility press, gives access to a home office which is a necessity for todays living.
Set behind secure electric gates, Ballycoyle occupies an elevated position on the plot commanding a wonderful vantage point and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. A lengthy driveway loops down below the property where it opens providing ample parking. The rolling gardens of Ballycolye are a haven for nature lovers and those looking for that countryside lifestyle. There is an abundance of mature trees, shrubbery, and wildflowers on display while the sound of the river is constantly in the background. The garden nearest the house is predominantly flat and an ideal environment for small children while the raised deck takes full advantage of the southerly orientation and the perfect place for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months.
Located between Enniskerry to the East, Glencree to the West and Dublin to the North, Ballycoyle is a small townland approximately 10.5km from Ennsikerry Village which offers a variety of shops, antiques, eateries, boutiques, and schools. Set towards the head of Wicklow's spectacular and unspoiled Glencree Valley, on the edge of the Wicklow National Park and on the Wicklow Way, Ballycoyle is a little oasis which possesses an atmosphere all of its own. The area is a magnet for nature-lovers, cyclists, walkers/hikers, and those seeking some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Other local attractions and amenities include Lough Bray, the Powerscourt Waterfall, Curtlestown Primary School, the German War Cemetery and Crone Forest. Accommodation
