Description

Approached via a tree lined avenue with electric gate access, “The Briars” of c 250 sq m / 2,692 sq ft is enveloped in leafy green surrounds and offers privacy of the highest level in stunning surrounds, coupled with convenient access over Bellevue Hill to nearby historical Delgany village in a renowned location boasting views of the iconic Great Sugarloaf Mountain to the north. Set on c. 1.5 acre of lush lawns with well-established shrubbery and evergreen boundaries this spacious 4 bedroom home, which was designed to nestle into the natural site elevation, is well served by nearby public transport and the Glenview Hotel provides luxurious amenities including a health club a short walk away. Built in the 1960s, the versatility of this generously appointed property layout will be appreciated by young families as the light filled ground floor living room / office of c. 44 sq m (473 sq ft) could serve a plethora of uses including a consultancy business space, granny flat or teen den given the existing guest cloakroom and own door access which is separated by internal stairs to the kitchen / dining room. On the hall door level, one finds the spacious sitting / dining room with views over the Glen o' the Downs of c. 42.4 sq m which is wonderfully bright owing to large dual aspect south and west facing windows complete with a solid fuel and wood burning stove along with solid hardwood flooring creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The kitchen / dining room features a Newcastle Design kitchen, with utility off, and accesses the Indian Sandstone entertaining area to the side of the property where one can soak up the splendid countryside surrounds. The main bedroom is a tranquil retreat with ensuite bathroom, and French doors opening to the east facing lawn behind the house and is the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy the private garden views, while the 3 other bedrooms are generous doubles and served by a fully tiled modern family bathroom. The double garage offers further development potential should additional internal accommodation be desired and with a mechanic pit in place it will be appreciated by motor enthusiasts as is. Experience the best of both worlds at “The Briars” which offers a peaceful country retreat, while a 45 minute commute to Dublin airport and the City Centre which can be easily reached by car on the nearby N11, or 131, 133 and 184 bus routes conveniently pass nearby.

Lovers of the outdoors will not tire of the endless walking opportunities through the magical Glen o' the Downs trails, while the Great Sugarloaf Mountain which is visible from the garden here is just one of several Wicklow mountains hikers will enjoy exploring.
