Description
Elevated detached bungalow with panoramic views in a highly accessible and sought-after country location.
St. Exupéry is a detached bungalow dating from circa 1965, occupying a most attractive elevated position with sweeping views towards the Great and Little Sugar Loaf and the Irish Sea beyond. Located on a quiet road on the DublinWicklow border, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting between the village of Enniskerry to the south and Kilternan to the north.
The property represents a superb opportunity for purchasers seeking a country home within close proximity to Dublin, an equestrian smallholding, or a residence with scope to create a modern family home in an exceptional setting. The sense of tranquillity and privacy is a notable feature and must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
Approached via a quiet country road, St. Exupéry is accessed through a wooden gate opening onto a generous driveway with ample parking. Lawns flank either side of the driveway, while a mature planted garden to the right of the entrance provides year-round interest and seasonal colour. The garden is beautifully established with a variety of mature trees, hedging and shrubs, offering sheltered outdoor space ideal for enjoying the summer months.
Extending to about 147 sq m (1,582 sq ft), the accommodation is arranged entirely at ground floor level. While the property would benefit from renovation, it offers a solid footprint and excellent potential to reimagine or extend subject to the relevant planning permissions.
The entrance porch, with WC and storage to either side, leads into a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. This bright and inviting space is fitted with a range of built-in units and appliances and enjoys floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening onto the front terrace, perfectly framing the spectacular views. The south-east facing terrace provides a private and sheltered setting from which to take in the surrounding landscape. A large built-in pantry is located off the kitchen.
To the right of the open-plan living space is a separate reception room featuring a wood-burning stove and expansive views, with a connection back to the main living area.
Further accommodation comprises a spacious hall currently utilised as a study or home office, three generous double bedrooms all with excellent natural light, and a well-proportioned family bathroom with built-in storage.
Outbuildings
Two block-built stables are located adjacent to convenient access to the rear paddock. A carport attached to the property leads to a block of lockable sheds housing the boiler and pumphouse, providing valuable storage and potential use as a tack room.
Gardens & Grounds
The land extends to about 3 acres and is laid out in a combination of lawn, paving and two well-defined paddocks. New post-and-rail fencing encloses both paddocks.
The front paddock extends to about 1 acre and is suitable for a variety of uses including grazing, small-scale farming or the creation of a ménage, as previously utilised. It benefits from separate gated road access.
The rear paddock, extending to about 2 acres, enjoys truly outstanding 360-degree views encompassing forestry, sea and mountain scenery, offering a rare sense of space and natural beauty. Accommodation
