Set in the stunning foothills of the Wicklow Mountains, Martinsbank presents a unique home in one of the country's most prestigious areas.

Martinsbank is set on 7 acres of private land, laid with lawns, fields and small forestry. This rural idyll is an oasis of nature, with stunning views of the steep mountainsides and valleys of the Powerscourt valley. Deer are regularly seen running through the property.
Entering onto the property via your electric front gates, an elegant driveway leads to the house. The house is an architect-designed, single-storey, split-level house, with new aluminium roof, extending to 3,000 sq ft. It currently provides a main part of the house with 5 bedrooms, office room, 3 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility and family room. There is a secondary part of the house which could be used as an annex or separate accommodation with kitchen, 1 or 2 bedrooms and small bathroom.
From the parking area, you arrive down some steps to the main front door and enter the spacious entrance hallway. Straight ahead leads you into the high-ceilinged Living Room, with attractive wood burning stove and views of the gardens. Up some steps of this split-level room is a large Dining Area, leading into the impressive Kitchen with Sitting Room area. To the side there is another cosy Family Room with bifolding doors out onto the patio. A utility room is also accessed from the kitchen, and connects to the Annex.
The other side of the main entrance hall, you come down some steps to the accommodation wing of the property.
