Tir na mBeo, Kindlestown Upper, Delgany, Co. Wicklow

“Tir na mBeo” is a magnificent architect designed 6 bedroom detached family home in a wonderful hillside setting with stunning views over the Irish Sea from Greystones to Bray Head and breath-taking gardens set within a Victorian walled garden.

"Sea views, tranquil, meandering gardens and a home cinema make this 'Dawson's Creek' - style family home ideal for parties. Don't be surprised if the theme turn to Dawson's Creek enters your head upon reaching the driveway of Tir na mBeo. This property has a New England charm to it, mostly prompted by its rather cool wrap around deck that's the most distinctive element of the house". Irish Times, January 2012.
