Description

Nestled in the lush countryside of the vale of Avoca, sits Yellow Cottage. This enchanting semidetached cottage, though ironically not yellow, oozes charm and character and the décor has lovingly retained many of its original features while adding touches that blend nicely with the country cottage atmosphere. Avoca is certainly a precious jewel in the Garden County, a blend of fertile glens, picturesque mountains and sandy beaches. Within walking distance there is the famous original Avoca Woollen Mills which offers award-winning foods, textiles and a gift shop. Avoca is a popular village full of character and includes a café, convenience store, local primary school and the famous Fitzgerald's pub which featured heavily when Avoca served as the location for the popular tv series 'Ballykissangel'. Redcross, just 4.5 kilometres away, has an award-winning restaurant and brewery and it's just 15/20 mins to either Arklow or Wicklow town which also offer many sporting and outdoor pursuits, schools, shops and a wide variety of amenities. The Woodenbridge Golf Club is located 5 kilometres south and it's 15 kilometres to the European Golf Club at Brittas Bay. This picture perfect and idyllically located cottage has three bedrooms, a delightful kitchen/diner filled with character while also extremely practical and perfect for family life, a living room and a main bathroom. The tiered garden extending to circa half an acre provides both sheltered spots and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. With its statuesque trees and glorious lush plants, cut back in parts and left wild in others, it is a haven for wildlife and birds including the acclaimed Wicklow red kites which can often be seen wheeling overhead. To appreciate what this home has to offer, viewing is essential. Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
