Description

Set against the backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains on an extensive site totalling over one third of an acre, this spacious period property dating back to the early 19th Century has benefitted from a comprehensive and stylish makeover that has brought it right into the modern era. Dating back to 1810, Avila House was originally built as a coaching house, a role for which it was eminently suitable thanks to its location, then as now, on the main route from Dublin to the southeast. Over the decades, the original house was extended to the point where it is now twice its original size, with a total floor area of almost 2,200 square feet (circa 203 sq m). Coming right up to date, the current owners completed a major refurbishment that tastefully combines its period character with all the bells and whistles of contemporary 21st Century living. Located 300 metres from the centre of Kilpedder village, Avila nestles within private and secluded grounds screened from public view by mature boundary walls, hedges and trees. Access to the property is via electronically controlled gates, which leads to a large gravelled front driveway with ample parking for numerous cars. On stepping into the spacious entrance hall, there’s an eye-catching vista through an archway and on through a high window at the far side of the house into the back garden. The entrance hall leads to a succession of large and well-proportioned reception rooms that lend themselves to a variety of uses. These include a large, light-filled sitting room overlooking the front garden that’s ideal for entertaining, an inviting dining room looking on to the back garden, a relaxing sitting room with original timber ceiling beams and an elegant, dual-aspect home office that would not look out of place in the glossiest of style magazines. A real standout is an exceptionally large kitchen measuring over 260 square feet, fitted out along three walls with pristine contemporary storage, with extensive butcher-block counter top space and integrated appliances. Heating this large but toasty family living space is a solid fuel burning Stanley stove. A utility room off the kitchen, and a guest bathroom and inner hall, both off the entrance hall, complete the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs, a spacious landing and adjoining corridor lead to four exceptionally large bedrooms, two of them ensuite, and the main bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and separate walk-in shower. All three upstairs bathrooms feature larger than average walk-in showers with rainforest showerhead, and contemporary fixtures and sanitary ware. Outside, the property’s large footprint means there are exceptionally large gardens to the front and rear, with additional space to the sides LOCATION Located next to the N11 and four minutes walk from Kilpedder village, Avila is ideally placed to enjoy the best of both town and country living. That’s thanks to its convenient and accessible location within easy reach of Wicklow’s natural hinterland, yet just a short drive from the major town centres of nearby Bray and Greystones. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains, the property enjoys a quiet and secluded location in a country setting 300 metres from Kilpedder village centre with its shops, pubs and other local services. Yet it is also within easy reach of the many shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, services, sports facilities and recreational amenities in nearby Greystones (10 minutes’ drive away) and Bray (15 minutes). Kilpedder is well placed to avail of North Wicklow’s wealth of sports clubs and recreational amenities including GAA, soccer, tennis, horse riding, sailing, rowing and fishing. The area offers a good choice of golf clubs, including the Druid’s Glen Hotel and Golf Resort less than ten minutes’ drive away. Nearby Greystones is also home to the Shoreline Leisure Centre. Positioned on the cusp of the Wicklow hinterland, the property is also ideally positioned to explore the many walks, trails and other natural attractions the Garden County has to offer. Kilpedder village is linked to Greystones and Delgany by a local bus service, while the close proximity of the N11 puts it within convenient driving distance of Dublin, as well as Bray and Greystones DART stations. The area is well served by local crèches, Montessori and pre-schools, while nearby Greystones, Delgany and Kilcoole offer an excellent choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schools. Viewing is highly recommended to those seeking country living within convenient reach of Dublin city.
