With original tiles in the front porch, the stained-glass door then leads to the impressive entrance hallway with 12ft high ceiling and door to the interconnecting reception rooms. Here, the original fireplaces, solid timber flooring and garden views combine to create a drawing room and dining room with excellent proportions and tasteful decor. The hallway leads to the stunning kitchen which incorporates the modern extension and allows for a room of exquisite design and space, with bespoke cabinetry and central island by local craftsmen - Rattigan & Hicks. Large picture windows and 2 sets of French doors ensure seamless access to the 100ft long, west facing rear garden with mature trees and ample privacy. The home office, with garden views provides a quiet space for those working from home and can also be accessed directly from the garden. Upstairs, the central atrium window allows light to flood into the space, while the split staircase with original banister and railings lead to the four double bedrooms - all beautifully decorated.

When first built in 1903, Singleton was one of the most prestigious homes in the thriving town of Arklow.
