Description

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within a mature residential development, this spacious detached modern house enjoys a convenient location close to the centre of Arklow and within easy reach of the town’s wide-ranging choice of shops, schools, amenities and services. With a total floor area of 125 sq m, 31 Blackberry Glade is 30% larger than the average three-bed semi. But that’s only half the story, thanks to a flexible internal layout with two of the property’s four bedrooms on the ground floor, making these ideal for a variety of uses such as a den, study, playroom or – especially useful for remote working – a home office. At the front of the property is a larger-than-average (27.5 sq m) living room with a large bay window, flanked by smaller windows on either side, overlooking the front garden. To the rear is a similar-sized open plan kitchen-dining room, which (subject to planning regulation) offers excellent potential to build an even larger family living space by extending into the large back garden. Ground floor accommodation is completed by a good-sized entrance hall and downstairs bathroom with wc, whb and bath/shower. Upstairs is a second bathroom with walk-in shower and two large bedrooms, one at the front and the other at the rear, the latter commanding mountain and mountain views off the Arklow coastline. Outside, there’s that large back garden and a good-sized front, connected to each other by gated side entrances to either side of the house. Set out in lawn, both gardens present a blank canvas on which a new owner can create their own vision. On the market in move-in condition, this property is an ideal choice as a spacious starter home, or for couples, singletons, downsizers and investors alike. Call us today to arrange a viewing. LOCATION The property is located within easy reach of local shops, services and supermarkets, including Arklow Main Street and the Bridgewater Shopping Centre, with its wide selection of shops, stores and retail outlets, as well as a the nine-screen Arklow Omniplex cinema. With a population of 13,163 (2016 census), Arklow offers an excellent choice of local schools (eight primary and four secondary) and the area is well served by public transport, including regular bus and intercity train services, and a Wexford bus linking Arklow with Dublin Airport. The nearby N11/M11 provide rapid access to the city and elsewhere. With its landmark 19 Arches stone bridge (the longest such structure in Ireland) spanning the Avoca River, Arklow has a long seafaring tradition that is reflected by the modern town. Local attractions and amenities include a riverside walk, Arklow South Beach and Wind Farm, the Coral Leisure Centre and the Arklow Maritime Museum. The Glenart Wood Walk can be found on the southern outskirts of the town, while the scenic Clogga Beach is a short (6.5km) drive away. The town is a hub of sporting activity, including GAA (two clubs), soccer (three clubs), rugby, athletics, rowing, tennis and golf (one club each).
