Description

There is simply not enough superlatives to describe Springfield, which is a truly stunning and elegantly appointed Victorian family home situated in a highly desirable location that has been sensitively and lovingly restored by the current owners. Built circa 1890 during the renaissance period of Bray as coastal retreat for wealthy city dwellers, this most attractive and elegant red brick three storey semi-detached house has undertaken a meticulous refurbishment and extended to the highest of standards whilst retaining its period character and opulence but combining it with all the modern-day comforts for family living. The property is a real testament to the current owners and it is a real rarity to find such a beautiful period property in such an immaculate condition both inside and out. No stone has been left unturned with the detailed restoration works which include the re-pointing of the brickwork on the front façade, new Kells sash windows to replicate the original windows installed in the past year, a new front door again by Kells, a bespoke handmade Noel Dempsey kitchen, bespoke handmade wardrobes by Glendalough carpentry, restored fireplaces and rebuilt chimneys from the inside, re-roofed, dry lined throughout, solar panels on the roof, the dining room extension with bi-folding doors, the landscaped garden, insulated home office and more. On arrival one is immediately drawn to the re-pointed brickwork, bay window with new sash windows and the new front door whilst an e charger in the driveway brings the modern-day element. Internally the spacious yet comfortable accommodation extends to 250sq.m./2,690sq.ft. approx. which is laid out over three levels. A wide inviting entrance hallway with Laura Ashley floor tiles leads to a central staircase - the spine of the house that has a spacious guest bathroom underneath. To the front of the house there is a beautifully appointed living room complete with original features such as the restored marble fireplace, dado and picture hanging rails, a centre rose and bay window with new sash windows and original shutters. Leading off the hall is an exquisite hand-crafted kitchen by Noel Dempsey which spans the width of the house with a new large sliding door allowing light to flood in. The kitchen is fitted with high end Siemen and Neff appliance and Quorker tap. From the kitchen this leads onto a clearly designed utility area neatly disguised behind handmade floor to ceiling units that provides a lovely corridor to the dining room extension which is flooded with natural light. This room has bi-folding doors leading onto a very private porcelain paved terrace area with built in seating finished with Cedar and Granite capping stones, a lovely space to entertain. The back garden is surrounded by beautifully repointed stone walls which add to the aesthetic and privacy of the garden. Herringbone wooden floors add continuity throughout this fabulous open plan space that links the inside and outside area in perfect harmony. Upstairs on the first floor there are two equally proportioned double bedrooms at the rear of the house that overlook the garden, a shower room has been installed in what was originally a hot press, and the piste de resistance, the magnificent and opulent Drawing Room that is befitting of any period property with its restored marble fireplace, ornate ceiling coving and centre rose, picture hanging rail and bay window to sit in, relax and enjoy the views up at Bray Head. This room also has a Riva 750 gas fire benefiting from the rebuilt and relined chimney. On the 2nd floor there are three more double bedrooms (two en-suite) and the hot press. The principal bedroom suite would not look out of place in an upmarket hotel with two large sash windows that provide nice views over Bray towards the Little Sugarloaf, a cleverly designed walk-through wardrobe behind a false wall and a decadent en-suite bathroom complete with a roll top bath. All of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and original cast iron fireplaces are found in four of the bedrooms. Externally there is ample private off street parking for a few vehicles which has a e charger point original stone wall and gated entrance. To the rear of the house from the patio area steps lead to a southwest facing landscaped garden that is flooded in natural sunlight all day, a large paved terrace area with built in seating is a fantastic spot for relaxing, entertaining or 'al fresco' dining on a nice day with the bi-folding doors into the dining room and large sliding door into the kitchen creating a great link. A landscaped garden leads to a large shed at the back of the property which has been cleverly split to incorporate a fully insulated home office space which is a must have in today's hybrid working environment. The location is unrivalled, Meath Road is a highly sought after and desirable area of Bray that is adjacent to the famous 'mile long' Victorian promenade. The sea front is only a 4 min walk from the house. Bray is a fashionable coastal town which lies approximately 22km south of Dublin City Centre. It has an excellent range of local services and amenities on its' doorstep including a plethora of cafes; restaurants and bars; shops; supermarkets; schools; sports and recreational facilities like Bray Head and the coastal walk to Greystones, Kilruddery House and Gardens, the Mermaid Theatre to name a few. The town has very good transport links with the DART station only a 6 minute walk from the property, a choice of Dublin Bus services and road network via the N11/M11/M50 providing easy access to Dublin and beyond.
