Description
Welcome to 144 Corke Abbey which Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to introduce to the market. Extending to 93 sq..m., this beautifully presented and very substantially upgraded semi-detached family home is conveniently positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac within this popular residential estate off the Dublin Road. With an attractive B3 energy rating the house is warm, cost effective to heat and is green mortgage compliant.
Originally built as a four-bedroomed residence, the current owners have cleverly remodeled the room configuration upstairs to amalgamate two of the four bedrooms creating a very generous main bedroom. They maintained the original doors, windows and electrics to allow for the easy conversion back into two separate rooms if so required. Other upgrades include the additional of a downstairs toilet (2018), installation of solar panels (Oct 2020), new combi boiler with Hive heating control (2020), fully refitted upstairs bathroom (2022), addition of a fully insulated garden room with power supply and heating (Dec 2023), updated fuse box (2023) and new bike shed (2023). The use of tasteful décor is evident throughout the property.
Internally the property has a bright and airy interior and provides an excellent balance of living and bedroom accommodation. The ground floor consists of a welcoming entrance hall with guest WC and understairs storage. With views to the front, the spacious living room leads directly into the open plan kitchen / dining room. The kitchen is well equipped with an excellent range of fitted kitchen units and integrated appliances and has a door to the rear garden. A set of French doors leads from the dining room out to an attractive raised decked area, perfect for relaxation and entertaining complete with a retractable awning. The private rear garden also has a lawn area and paving stones leading to the fabulous, fully insulated garden room (5m x 3m). Returning inside, a carpeted stairs rises to the first floor where there are three very fine bedrooms, the family bathroom and access to the attic from the landing. The front garden provides ample off-street parking and is bordered in lawn area and flower beds which are well stocked with mature planting. There is a side access to the rear garden.
Corke Abbey is very conveniently located in the beautiful coastal village of Bray just off the Dublin Road with quick access to Shankill and Bray which between them offer an excellent choice shops, eateries, bars, and amenities. The house is within a 10 minute stroll of Bray harbour and seafront, 15 minutes to Bray DART station and 5 minutes' walk to Dublin Bus stops (E1 to City Centre, L14 to Luas and 45 to Dun Laoghaire). There are a host of reputable junior and secondary schools within close proximity (including Ravenswell, Woodbrook College and Colaiste Raithin) with many other sports and leisure facilities to avail of in the surrounding area. For motorists there is quick access to the N11 and M50 gateways. Accommodation
