Property Description

A Three-Storey Residence with Views over Blessington Lakes.

This impressive three-storey residence extends to approximately 261 sq. m. (2,813 sq. ft.) and occupies an elevated position within a mature and exceptionally scenic setting overlooking Blessington Lakes. Approached by a winding private drive, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, while taking full advantage of the spectacular surrounding countryside and lake views.

The accommodation is spacious and versatile, offering excellent potential for those seeking a substantial family home, countryside retreat or refurbishment project. The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room, conservatory, drawing room, studio, five bedrooms, study, playroom and three bathrooms.

Internally, the property features timber flooring, exposed timber ceilings and traditional fireplaces. The generous proportions and abundance of natural light provide an excellent foundation for modernization, while the existing layout offers considerable scope to reconfigure and personalize the accommodation to suit individual requirements.

The house has been unoccupied for a number of years and, subject to the relevant criteria and confirmation from the appropriate authority, it is understood that the property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. This presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment and create a unique home in an enviable rural location.

Externally, the property is set within generous grounds on c. 1 Acre and benefits from extensive off-street parking. The surrounding gardens incorporate a number of attractive granite stone features, including a granite-surrounded pond which adds further character to the setting. A particularly interesting feature of the grounds is the ruins of the original granite cottage, providing a tangible link to the property's history and adding further interest and potential to the overall holding.

The elevated position is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets, with views across Blessington Lakes and the surrounding Wicklow countryside. The mature trees and established landscape provide privacy while framing the exceptional outlook.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, scale and potential this property has to offer.
