Description
Set back 150m from the Strand Road, Warburton Terrace is an attractive row of period houses dating from c. 1862, and No. 4 occupies and end of terrace position. This characterful home has been extensively upgraded in recent years, finished in luxury style whilst being sympathetic to the fabric of a period property. Many original features have been sensitively retained to include fireplaces, sash windows, staircase, high ceilings, solid wooden floors to name a few and these accompanied with the contemporary 5-star finish make it a unique period residence. The current owners have further enhanced the property with the addition of a new roof and the reconfiguration of the ground floor return resulting with an all-important utility room and sitting room.
On approach to No. 4, the property has good curb appeal with original railings and chequered floor tiles on display. Entering the property there is an immediate sense of elegance and grand proportions which are reminiscent of the Victorian era. Off the welcoming entrance hall there is a fantastic open plan bespoke handmade kitchen with Ibiza marble countertops, dining area, marble fireplace and French doors leading to an outside decked area ideal for 'al fresco' dining. This room interlinks via original tall pocket doors with the front living room complete with its 10ft high ceilings with original centre rose and coving, bay window, solid wooden floors and a new wood burning stove with marble surround. Returning to the hall, down a small flight of stairs, the entire ground floor return is laid with an appealing engineered herringbone oak wood floor. The utility room is positioned to the left and to the right, a door leads down into a 56 sq. m basement catering for ample storage. The impressive and naturally bright sitting room has completely transformed the rear of the house, featuring an aluminium floor to ceiling window and door with direct access to the south facing garden.
A complete suntrap, the enticing garden is split level and incorporates a combination of granite and limestone paving along with decking. Well stocked raised flower beds include a variety of vibrant shrubs and colourful plants set around a sitting area complete with a fitted bench and firepit. Another clever addition worth noting is an outside shower which will come in use at various stages throughout the year. Finally, a gated side passage provides pedestrian access to the front of the property.
Returning inside, upstairs on the first-floor return there is a WC adjacent to a double bedroom which is currently in use as a study. Here bespoke shelving units sit either side of another stove. There are two elegantly sized double bedrooms with fireplaces on the first floor, the rear bedroom enjoys a pleasant view towards Bray Head while the larger bay windowed principal bedroom is located to the front. A fabulous family bathroom completes this floor, whilst on the upper levels there is another generous sized double bedroom, a modern shower room and superb attic room providing versatile options. Currently in use as a fifth bedroom, the attic room is complemented with ample eaves storage and a bay window takes full advantage of the view of Bray Head.
This buzzing seaside town is located on the southeast coast and on the periphery of the Wicklow Dublin border and offers the discerning purchasers a superb lifestyle with access to a wealth of amenities. Warburton Terrace is centrally located, in the immediate vicinity there are local supermarkets and shops, and Bray Town Centre is approx. 700m from the front door. In addition, there are a variety of highly regarded schools at primary and secondary level to choose from along with BIFE and crèches. There is no shortage of sporting facilities nearby, including Shoreline Leisure Centre with its swimming pool and gym, County Wicklow lawn tennis club, Bray sailing club, Brennanstown horse riding centre and several reputable Golf Clubs. The renowned Seafront and Promenade is 150m away with its selection of popular ice cream parlours, restaurants, gastro pubs, wine bars, trendy cafes, saunas, and playground, while neighbouring the property is the picturesque Sidmonton Park. For the outdoor enthusiasts there is sea swimming, the famous Bray to Greystones cliff walk and Kilruddery House & Gardens which runs a family-oriented farmers market every weekend.
