Description
DNG Bray proudly presents 4 Novara Terrace, Bray, Co. Wicklow.
Dating from 1862, No. 4 Novara Terrace is an elegant mid-terrace Victorian residence of immense character and charm, superbly positioned overlooking a private, gated residents' park. Built at a time when Bray was celebrated as “Ireland's Brighton,” these distinguished homes were originally designed as holiday villas and today remain among the area's most desirable period properties.
Extending to a spacious and generous 243 sq.m. / 2,616 sq.ft., this impressive home seamlessly blends refined Victorian proportions with later Edwardian influences, offering beautifully appointed accommodation comprising four/five bedrooms and three/four gracious reception rooms. A wealth of original features has been carefully preserved, including sash windows with shutters, ornate ceiling coving and centre roses, and a number of fireplaces with attractive marble surrounds, all of which enhance the home's timeless appeal.
A private hedged front garden provides a welcoming approach, leading to an attractive panelled door framed by stained glass panels and fanlight, all set within a flat-headed opening. This is flanked by panelled pilasters with outsized console brackets which support a Regency style cast-iron shallow balcony. The elegant hallway, with its intricate plasterwork, immediately sets the tone for the accommodation within. To the left lies a fine living room featuring a large picture window with shutters, a window seat, and a marble fireplace. To the rear, a versatile family room or fifth bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, and opens into a bright sunroom with direct access to the garden.
To the right of the hallway is a spacious dining room, also benefiting from a large picture window, shutters, and a marble fireplace. This room leads through to a generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the rear garden, fitted with ample storage and integrated appliances, and complemented by a solid fuel Stanley range. A large utility/boot room and a ground floor shower room provide excellent additional functionality.
Upstairs, the original staircase rises to a light-filled return with a striking feature window overlooking the rear garden. WC & WHB. The first floor hosts a magnificent drawing room with two large windows enjoying views across the private park. This room could also be used as a luxurious principal bedroom suite.

To the rear, the private west-facing garden is a standout feature of the home—beautifully maintained and thoughtfully planted, it offers an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
