Property Description

"Brackenlea" occupies an extraordinary elevated site on the southern slopes of the Howth peninsula, with spectacular south facing panoramic views of Dublin Bay.

The property is presented in exceptionally good condition following a project of sympathetic enhancement in recent years. It has retained all of its original period character & charm throughout its spacious c.355 Sq Meters of floor area (3,800Sq Ft) while modern enhancements have heightened this endearing homes incredible appeal. Glazed panels installed in the modern integrated kitchen open to an extensive decked area with glazed paneled borders having the effect of drawing the exceptional views inside. This view must be experienced to fully appreciate just how special this particular setting is. It is hypnotic by day and equally so by night.

The c.1 acre of private grounds offer obvious potential to create a second home, subject to planning permission. Brackenlea benefits from full planning permission for a "boat House" on the upper eastern side of the site. As this part of the site enjoys exceptional views also, the lucrative potential here is both obvious and unique to this property should an additional residence or more accommodation be desired.

Brackenlea is exceptionally private and secluded yet not isolated as neighbouring homes are close by. Its terraced gardens are a delight of well stocked colourful plants, shrubs and trees providing perfectly orientated amenity and views of every aspect inside and outside of this incredible home.

Outside, the entrance and gardens are accessed through iron electronic gates just off Old Carrickbrack Road, there is a large driveway and parking for several cars. The superbly maintained gardens extend to c one acre and are extremely well stocked with mature trees, shrubbery and colourful azaleas. The large granite and decked patio area enjoys the most magnificent views over the southern slopes of the peninsula across Dublin Bay. There are several storage units and sheds. There is also a very attractive summer house this is a lovely area to entertain and would be an ideal artist's studio.
