An imposing Victorian house requiring significant refurbishment approached through an impressive cut stone entrance and via a long winding avenue flanked by post and rail paddocks. Built in the gothic style and set in delightful wooded gardens less than half a mile from Shankill, Bray and the M50 motorway. This is an extremely popular area in which to live close to a wide range of amenities which include sailing at Dunlaoghaire and the Royal Yacht Club, golf courses at Bray, Powerscourt and Druids Glen. The Dublin / Wicklow mountains are within view and easy reach of the property. Bray is an attractive seaside town with a wide variety of shops, shopping centres, retail parks, restaurants and a frequent commuter train service (Dart Line) to the city.
