Property Description

Aurora is a modern four bed detached family home nestled in the most picturesque and idyllic of settings with panoramic views down the Glencree Valley towards the Sugarloaf and Djoice mountains, Bray Head and the Irish Sea in the distance. Situated on the Dublin/Wicklow border adjacent to the Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation, the area is renowned for its natural beauty and breath-taking views.

Approached via a winding laneway, the current owners built the house 15 years ago on an elevated site with circa 1 acre of grounds. This spacious and modern four bedroomed detached house extends to 178sq.m./1,915sq.ft. whilst there is an additional 60sq.m./652sq.ft. above in the attic and mezzanine level. Presented in an excellent condition, there is a fantastic feeling of light and space throughout the house with a wide central hallway, a vaulted double height kitchen/dining room with overhanging mezzanine level and adjoining snug/playroom, a utility room with guest WC, a cosy living room with open fireplace, four generous bedrooms (principle ensuite), a large family bathroom, a large attic room with bathroom and hot press. In keeping with the new hybrid working world the owners installed a fully insulated and separate home office by Log House (5m x 3m) in the garden which has Cat 5 cabling and an adjoining storeroom (3m x 2m). There is also a detached garage/workshop to the rear of the house (measuring 5m x 5m).

Set at the head of Wicklow s spectacular and unspoiled Glencree Valley, on the edge of the Wicklow National Park and on the Wicklow Way, Aurora is a little oasis adjacent to the Glencree Visitor Centre - a former 19th Century British Army Barracks which brings you a range of attractive facilities in a tranquil and beautiful setting with rolling and mountainous countryside, historic buildings, local arts and crafts, and a taste of fine Irish home cooking if you drop into the Armoury Cafe. Glencree possesses an atmosphere all of its own, and only twelve miles from Dublin with easy access for commuters via Rathfarnham or through Enniskerry to the N11. The area is a magnet for nature-lovers, cyclists, walkers/hikers and those seeking some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Other local attractions and amenities include Lough Bray, the Powerscourt Waterfall, Curtlestown Primary School, the German War Cemetery and Crone Forest.
