Description

Beyond the handsome façade this Edwardian period home has been completely transformed boasting a contemporary extension, attic conversion and a sunny south facing garden. No expense was spared during the recent upgrade, with high specification fixtures & fittings evident through-out and the attention to detail put into the design and layout is first class. The stylishly presented interior is well proportioned throughout. Entering through the new front door with window fan above one can instantly see the quality of the home that awaits you. The two large receptions rooms have been opened to provide for a generous open-plan living space that leads out to the garden. The contemporary bespoke kitchen is a Timbercraft design and also opens out to the garden allowing a wonderful flow between the downstairs living spaces. Upstairs the main bathroom shows off the period of the property with a stunning cast iron claw foot bath as well as a large separate shower. There are three good size bedrooms and finally a spiral staircase leading to a unique attic space set up as a playroom and home office that captures glimpse of the sea and mountains. Outside the rear garden which benefits from a sunny southerly aspect - this is a contemporary architectural space open to the house from the double doors in the dining room and the large slider in the kitchen. There is a timber deck perfect for 'al fresco' dining with raised beds. A gravel area has access to the utility space and two large gates open to the private back lane to allow for more space or rear access. The current owner even used to park her FIAT 500 in this space! The current owners have added their designer flair and personality to the overall decoration and appearance of the property including a home for their dog under the stairs and wall-papering the guest w.c in old motorcycle magazines from the previous owner who ran a bike shop at the address. They spared no expense during the major renovation which included re-instating period features such as the Edwardian coving and carpentry, while also focusing on insulating to a superior standard. Centrally positioned in Bray, this homes location could hardly be more convenient, a mere two minute walk from seafront strolls along the promenade and to the harbour with its famous bar. There are several primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, retail outlets and an abundance of leisure pursuits all at the doorstep. Commuters have plenty of choice with the Dart station also within a 2 minute walk, along with citybound buses, Aircoach Direct and the Luas at Cherrywood is a short commute by private transport. In addition, there is easy access to the N11/M11/M50 corridor. https://youtu.be/yFbU_2TRKPI
