Property Description

DNG are delighted to present Meadow View, a distinctive detached mid-century bungalow set within
approximately 0.9 acres of exceptionally private and mature gardens on Old Connaught Avenue.

Designed by renowned architects McDonnell & Dixon and built in the mid-1950s, the house has a strong
architectural simplicity, generous proportions and an unusually good relationship with its surrounding
gardens. Extending to approximately 135 sq.m / 1,453 sq.ft, excluding the attic and garage, the accommodation is predominantly arranged on one level and benefits from excellent natural light and a southerly rear aspect.

The reception hall leads to an impressive dual-aspect living room, with open fireplace, polished timber flooring and direct access through glazed doors to the rear terrace and garden. The room is particularly spacious and bright, with views into the surrounding greenery.

A separate dining room, which could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, home office or additional reception room, also overlooks the rear garden.

The kitchen is a generous, light-filled room with extensive storage and worktop space and a broad window
overlooking the garden. It is complemented by a separate utility room, guest WC and rear porch.

There are three particularly spacious double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and separate WC.

Gardens and grounds:
The gardens are one of Meadow View's defining features.
The house sits within approximately 0.9 acres of secluded, mature grounds, offering a degree of privacy and space that is increasingly difficult to find within such easy reach of South Dublin and Bray.

The garden wraps around the house and has evolved over many decades, with established trees, hedging and planting creating a wonderfully sheltered setting.
Of particular note are the substantial mature apple and pear trees, which continue to produce fruit, together
with a long-established walnut tree that has stood in the garden for more than a generation. These mature
trees give the grounds a distinctive sense of age, character and continuity.

The southerly rear garden includes a paved terrace directly outside the living room, generous lawns and numerous opportunities for further landscaping, vegetable or kitchen gardens, outdoor entertaining and family use.

Secure entrance gates open onto a substantial driveway providing ample off-street parking.

Further potential:
A particularly significant feature is the large attic space, measuring approximately 14.95m x 11.82m, which offers considerable potential for conversion or further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission and building regulations.

There is also a substantial garage of approximately 5.39m x 3.04m, which may offer further possibilities for
incorporation or alternative use, again subject to the necessary permissions.

The property has already benefited from a number of improvements, including insulation and heating upgrades undertaken in 2010/2011 and further insulation, bathroom and utility improvements in 2023. The house has double-glazed windows throughout and a C2 BER.

While Meadow View offers scope for further updating and personalisation, its appeal lies in the combination of architecture, space, privacy, mature gardens and potential. It is a house that could be sensitively developed over time while retaining the character that makes the property unusual.

Location:
Meadow View enjoys a peaceful setting on Old Connaught Avenue, positioned between Bray, South County Dublin and the surrounding countryside.

Despite the scale and seclusion of the grounds, the property remains extremely well placed for everyday
amenities, schools, transport and recreation.
Cornelscourt Shopping Centre is approximately 6km away, Dundrum Town Centre approximately 12km, and Brides Glen Luas approximately 4.1km. The N11 and M50 provide convenient access to Dublin City and Dublin Airport.

The surrounding area offers an excellent choice of schools together with golf, tennis, horse riding and extensive walking opportunities in the nearby Dublin and Wicklow Mountains.

Meadow View represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial mid-century home on almost an acre of mature private gardens, with exceptional scope to create a very special long-term family home.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, privacy, and exceptional potential of this unique home.
