Description

DNG Greystones is excited to present this characterful detached cottage with mature gardens of just under one acre to the market. The Barn, Windgates as the name suggests was once a barn or an outbuilding to a nearby farm and has evolved over the years into a light filled home that has been owned by the current family for almost 5 decades. The cottage with its cut stone facade, a gorgeous gravel courtyard entrance and mature gardens certainly exudes the charm of a bygone era. The property offers wonderful potential not only to modernise the existing accommodation, but the discerning buyer will also appreciate the fabulous potential that the numerous outbuildings and garage offer. The wonderfully mature and private gardens will certainly add colour and privacy all year round to this rather unique and very appealing home. The accommodation of approx. 146 Sq M comprises a reception hall with parquet flooring. A bay windowed living room enjoys a dual aspect with very pleasant views of the gardens and features a solid fuel stove. The kitchen dining room is also dual aspect, and a rear porch gives access to the gardens. The accommodation is completed with 4 bedrooms all enjoying views of the gardens and two bathrooms. Whilst not considered accommodation, the outbuildings which in some cases predate the cottage, offer another approx. 117 Sq M of very useful space that could be remodelled for a variety of purposes depending on requirements. The first outbuilding could have been a farriers cottage and the old forge with chimney is still evident today, the 2nd outbuilding features a cobble floor, and the garage has a mechanics pit. To the rear of the garage is another room that over the years has been used as bedroom accommodation, den and home office. The property is approached through a gravel courtyard entrance with the outbuildings on two sides and the cottage on the right hand side of the courtyard. The main gardens then wrap around the cottage on 3 sides, Mature trees, well stocked flower beds, a large lawn, a beech hedge and large vegetable plots are sure to keep the keenest of gardeners busy during the summer months. The location on Windgates has a lovely rural feeling and boasts a tranquillity that is hard to find in a property that is so close to Greystones and Bray. Within 2km you have a number of schools, public transport including Dublin Bus and Aircoach bus services and a selection of shops. Greystones Dart station and sea front is just 3.8km away and Bray Dart station, bus terminus and sea front is only 5.7 km away. Directly opposite the property is the superb Belmont Demesne with its kilometers of biking and walking trails and a highly regarded restaurant. The equally popular Killruddery estate is also very close by. Personal inspection of this delightful cut stone cottage is a must to appreciate the colourful gardens, light filled accommodation and numerous outbuildings.
