An attractive contemporary coastal home enjoying panoramic views of the Irish Sea and including good equestrian facilities. Situated above the scenic Wyndgates coastal road, between the fashionable and bustling coastal towns of Bray and Greystones, superb sea views are framed by Greystones Marina and Bray Head and there are majestic mountain views to both Sugar Loafs. In all about 3.75 acres (1.52 hectares). Rathfern House comprises 3,444 square feet or 320 square metres of well-appointed accommodation that includes three reception rooms, each with superb sea views, and five bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite has a large bedroom with elevated sea views and an ensuite bathroom. There are three paddocks, four stables and a large sand arena with magical mountain and sea views. An entrance porch with a feature triangular window leads into a generous central stair hall. Enjoying a dual aspect the family room faces south and east to the sea and has an open fire and interconnects to the dinning room. The dining room again faces the sea. Both rooms benefiting from large picture windows, capturing the magnificent sea views, and providing good natural light. A large television room or den faces east and west, with two large picture windows to the sea front and twin sliding French doors leading to a west facing patio terrace. All rooms interlinking well and forming a marvellous living and entertaining space, most especially when combined with the kitchen and outdoor terraces. The large L-shaped kitchen is spacious and includes kitchen, dining and lounge spaces. The kitchen area has an extensive range of wall and floor units and a feature, custom-made, kidney shaped granite and mahogany central island. The dining area faces south and west, with quadruple bi-folding French doors linking to an outside south facing terrace. The lounge area has fitted bookcases and a feature fireplace (gas). The interconnected utility or boot room has a separate laundry drying room and boiler room. A WC, off the reception hall, completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs the spacious principal bedroom suite faces south and east and has excellent views from a seafront picture window, which has a Juliet style balcony. The shower room ensuite has a cabinet shower, pedestal wash-hand-basin and WC. Bedrooms two and three each face west. A family bathroom has a fitted bath, a separate cabinet shower, a pedestal wash-hand-basin, and a WC. Bedroom four is spacious and faces south and west. Bedroom five faces west. A large study completes the accommodation. Facing east and west it has a large feature triangular window framing the sea view and, westward, has picturesque mountain views. There are two fitted workstations. It could, if required, be a sixth bedroom. Set elevated from the road the sea views are extensive and a curved hedged drive ensures privacy. Whilst the gardens benefit from strong hillside views, they are set out in terraces and for the most part are level. An enclosed rear garden is sheltered by tall hedging and dog fenced. Directly off the kitchen it is ideal for children to play securely. A large flagstone terrace is positioned to the southern end of the house and faces south, east, and west and enjoys a sea view. Quadruple bi-folding doors seamlessly link to inside. A well sheltered second patio terrace is nestled in a south-westerly position behind the house, capturing sun into the evening. The three gently sloping paddocks are well fenced. An all-weather sand arena measures 40 x 23 metres and has night lighting and dramatic sea and mountain views. The stable yard, positioned a short distance from the house, has four large stables, a feed store, tack room and a fifth small stable. Greystones epitomizes a boutique seaside town, steeped in history and bustling with contemporary cultural trends. Situated just a short drive from Dublin city centre (23km or 14.3 miles) it offers an ideal blend of urban amenities and costal village charm.
