Description

Few properties captivate the senses quite like "Gorteen", an endearing detached home of immense character & charm, located in a sylvan setting with panoramic views. The Old Carrickbrack Road is home to period homes of various shapes and sizes. Most have old stone walled boundaries with tall trees and thick hedges where local wildlife thrives. Each home is never far from a boreen or a path leading to the scenic walks for which the Howth Peninsula is renowned. Views towards Dublin bay from Bray head and Dalkey Island span right into Ringsend. A captivating sight by day, mesmerising by night. The southerly views of Dublin Bay can be enjoyed from all parts of the well-stocked gardens and from each south facing room and outside terrace. Inside, modern conveniences include oil fired central heating and double glazed windows, while most original features and joinery are in good order. There is room for improvement here and given the extent of the generous grounds and the wonderful views, interested parties will have choices to make. Modernise what exists, extend and enhance, or create a large modern home subject to the appropriate planning permission. The site will comfortably accommodate all options which will reveal a truly special home. The gardens extend to an impressive 0.4 acres (0.16ha) with a colourful variety of plants, trees and shrubs. An elevated decked area provides an ideal vantage point from which to relax outside and enjoy the breath-taking views.

Three large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A pull-down ladder provides access to a converted attic. A detached artist’s studio is located at the top of the garden.
