Property Description

IMPRESSIVE 7-BED FAMILY HOME ON 7 ACRES
Set in the stunning foothills of the Wicklow Mountains, Martinsbank presents a unique home in one of the country's most prestigious areas. Situated just a short distance from the world famous Powerscourt Waterfall, and just 10 minutes from the quaint Enniskerry Village, the Powerscourt Hotel and 30 minutes from Dublin.

Martinsbank is set on 7 acres of private land, laid with lawns, fields and small forestry. This rural idyll is an oasis of nature, with stunning views of the steep mountainsides and valleys of the Powerscourt valley. Deer are regularly seen running through the property.

Entering onto the property via your electric front gates, an elegant driveway leads to the house. The house is an architect-designed, single-storey, split-level house, with new aluminium roof, extending to 3,000 sq ft. It currently provides a main part of the house with 5 bedrooms, office room, 3 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility and family room. There is a secondary part of the house which could be used as an annex or separate accommodation with kitchen, 1 or 2 bedrooms and small bathroom.

From the parking area, you arrive down some steps to the main front door and enter the spacious entrance hallway. Straight ahead leads you into the high-ceilinged Living Room, with attractive wood burning stove and views of the gardens. Up some steps of this split-level room is a large Dining Area, leading into the impressive Kitchen with Sitting Room area. To the side there is another cosy Family Room with bifolding doors out onto the patio. A utility room is also accessed from the kitchen, and connects to the Annex.

The other side of the main entrance hall, you come down some steps to the accommodation wing of the property. The generous Master Bedroom takes pride of place with views over the gardens, and ensuite bathroom. Heading down the corridor there are 2 further bathrooms and 4 further bedrooms and a spacious office. Overall there are 4 doubles and 1 single rooms, plus potentially 2 further bedrooms in the annex.

The grounds include 7 acres of beautiful lawns, mature borders and tree-lined forest. A smart south-facing patio captures the stunning views of the mountains. Off the driveway there is a large barn with a mezzanine floor for storage or use as a garage.

Martinsbank is located just 10 minutes drive from the wonderful Enniskerry Village, famous for its small shops, cafes and great pubs. Bray town centre is c. 20 minutes away, as is Greystones, both with a huge range of amenities, shops, restaurants and entertainment. There is also a popular schools such as Enniskerry NS and Powerscourt NS. For secondary education, there are a range of schools nearby in Bray or Greystones, such as St. Gerards or Woodlands Academy. Driving into Dublin takes approx. 30 minutes, with easy access to the Luas at Cherrywood or DART from Bray or Greystones.

This is a wonderful spot in the Garden County of Ireland, with some of the most dramatic landscapes including mountains, woods, beaches and more. But all within touching distance of Dublin itself and some of the famous villages and towns of North Wicklow.
