Property Description

Flooded with natural light and featuring well-proportioned rooms throughout, this bright and spacious dormer bungalow completed in 2001 is located a short walk from Killincarrig village centre and just a few minutes drive from nearby Greystones town centre.

While Castle Villas takes its name from a landmark local manor house dating back 1638, Number 7A is very much a modern family home, built to an architecturally designed plan, finished to the highest standards and featuring all the comforts of contemporary 21st Century living.

The property enjoys a quiet setting overlooking Killincarrig Castle and positioned well back from the public road, from which it approached by a long, tarmac drive. This leads up to a larger than average, low maintenance front garden with room to comfortably park several cars. To the rear is an even bigger back garden, which with an area of almost 300 square metres is far larger than gardens provided with most modern new-builds.

Inside, there's a bright and airy feel throughout, thanks to the clever use of large windows in almost every room that flood the house with natural light.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the large, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room located at the front of the house, where a vaulted roof-height ceiling further enhances the property's wonderful feeling of light and space.

Natural light is emphasised throughout the house, with large downstairs windows and glass doors in the spacious entrance hall, the lounge and in one of its two downstairs bedrooms. The theme continues upstairs, with roof-height ceilings a striking feature in both upstairs bedrooms, while the return on the stairs and first floor landing are illuminated by a large picture window overlooking the back garden.

Totalling 1,340 square feet, accommodation is spacious and well proportioned throughout, with four double bedrooms (two on each floor including one with an ensuite bathroom upstairs), an unusually large entrance hall, a good-sized lounge with a picture window view of the back garden and that spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living room. There is also a downstairs bathroom, with walk-in corner shower and the en suite bathroom on the first floor with freestanding bath.

Presented in pristine condition, the property features quality fittings and fixtures, including a well-equipped contemporary kitchen with a complete range of integrated appliances, immaculate kitchen and bathroom tiling, quality carpets and durable hardwood flooring.

LOCATION
Castle Villas is a mature residential development right next to the village centre. It takes it name from Killincarrig Castle, a historic local landmark dating back to the 17th Century.

Despite its name, Killincarrig Castle is actually a ruined fortified manor house, originally built by the Anglo-Irish Walsh family in 1638. It is described in the Down Survey of 1657 as 'the finest building in the half barony.'

It has strong connections to Wicklow's war-torn past. These include the infamous Cromwellian conquest of 1649-50, during which the Lord Protector himself overnighted there on his way to the sieges of Wexford and Waterford in 1649. According to local lore, Cromwell was furious when he woke up the next morning to discover his horse had been stolen during the night.

Prior to Cromwell's visit, it was a stronghold of the Catholic Confederates during the Eleven Years War (1641-53), while rebels are said to have hidden there during the 1798 Rebellion.

In our own more peaceful times, Castle Villas enjoys a highly convenient location just a few steps from the heart of Killincarrig village, with its popular local pub and a convenience store.

Positioned on the outskirts of Greystones, the village is within walking distance (four minutes' drive) of the town's bustling centre, which is home to a wide-ranging selection of shops, supermarkets, artisan cafes, restaurants, boutiques and other services.

An excellent choice of local schools includes nearby Delgany National School, and Temple Carraig and St. David's secondary schools in Greystones, while Charlesland Community Secondary School is just a short drive away.

A wide variety of sports and leisure facilities in the vicinity caters for soccer, rugby, GAA, tennis and sailing, while Greystones Marina and the Shoreline Leisure Centre are both close by.

There are a variety of options for commuting to Dublin, thanks to the close proximity of the N11 and Greystones DART station, while local bus routes include the 184 and the 84, both with stops nearby. The Aircoach from Greystones main street provides a direct link to Dublin airport.

Greystones has twice been the winner of a LivCom Award (the International Awards for Liveable Communities), first in 2008 and most recently in December 2021 when it was one of five towns from around the globe to be shortlisted for this prestigious accolade.
