Property Description

Russell Estate Agents are delighted to present Calary View to the market — an exceptional detached stone clad family residence set amidst the breathtaking countryside of County Wicklow. Nestled on approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped and private grounds, and accessed via a gated driveway, this unique home enjoys an idyllic setting equidistant from the charming villages of Kilmacanogue and Roundwood in Ireland’s renowned Garden County. Blending timeless Irish character with contemporary comfort, the property showcases exquisite natural stonework and timber throughout, adding warmth, texture, and enduring elegance to both the exterior and interior architectural features.

Extending to approximately 153 sq.m. (1,646 sq.ft.), the property has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded over the years by its current owners to create a bright, spacious, and versatile home that seamlessly combines period charm with modern-day comforts. Beautifully presented in warm and neutral tones, the accommodation is in excellent decorative condition throughout and enjoys an abundance of unique features, complemented by mature landscaped gardens that provide exceptional privacy, peace, and tranquillity.

Upon entering the home, one is immediately impressed by the welcoming entrance hallway with its striking vaulted ceiling, leading into the heart of the property — a magnificent open-plan living and dining area. This beautifully appointed space features soaring timber-clad vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a stunning mezzanine-style library gallery overlooking the room below. A feature wood-burning stove with a solid timber mantelpiece creates a warm and inviting focal point, while large windows and patio doors flood the interior with natural light and perfectly frame the surrounding countryside.

The open-plan design effortlessly connects the lounge and dining areas, creating an ideal setting for both relaxing family life and entertaining guests. Rich solid timber flooring, bespoke built-in shelving, and tasteful countryside-inspired finishes further enhance the warmth and character of the home. Direct access to the outdoor terrace allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living and provides the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the scenic surroundings.

A door from the main living area leads into the equally impressive country-style kitchen, featuring hand-painted cabinetry, solid hardwood worktops, tiled flooring, and a vaulted ceiling with two skylights that enhance the natural light throughout the space. Cleverly designed to maximise both storage and preparation space, the kitchen enjoys magnificent views across the gardens and is complemented by a well-appointed utility room located just off the main kitchen area.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautifully constructed enclosed timber pergola complete with outdoor power points, creating an ideal year-round entertaining space. Extensive decking surrounds the rear of the property and benefits from sunlight throughout the day, offering multiple areas for outdoor dining, relaxation, and enjoying the peaceful setting.

To the front of the house are three generously proportioned double bedrooms, a stylish main family bathroom, and a cleverly concealed separate shower area. To the rear, off the kitchen, is a comfortable TV room with stairs leading to an attic space currently used as a bedroom and home office. This versatile area offers excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained guest suite or private accommodation, with its own direct access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite enjoys breathtaking views across the Wicklow Mountains and features a walk-in wardrobe together with a private bathroom. The landing area incorporates a thoughtfully designed library and reading space overlooking the impressive living and dining room below, adding further charm and architectural interest to this unique home.

A standout feature of Calary View is its captivating setting and exceptional gardens, which extend to approximately one acre of mature grounds comprising expansive lawn areas, established planting, shrubbery, and a variety of outbuildings. A long driveway bordered by attractive stone walls leads to a generous parking area with ample space for multiple vehicles. Additional features include a substantial detached barn-style shed measuring approximately 16m x 6m, ideal for storing boats, cars, machinery, or workshop use, as well as a separate gym/garden shed. The current owners have further enhanced the grounds with sustainability and low-maintenance family living in mind, including the installation of a new septic tank in 2026.

Nestled in a picturesque semi-rural location between Roundwood and Kilmacanogue, the property is ideally positioned to enjoy the wealth of amenities and attractions that Wicklow, the “Garden County of Ireland,” has to offer. Nearby attractions include Powerscourt House & Gardens, Powerscourt Waterfall, Kilruddery Estate, the historic Glendalough Valley, and an abundance of mountain trails including Djouce and the iconic Sugarloaf. Outdoor enthusiasts are exceptionally well catered for with lake walks around the Vartry Reservoir and Lough Dan, as well as mountain biking at Ballinastoe.

Situated within easy reach of the villages of Roundwood, Kilmacanogue, Enniskerry, Newtownmountkennedy, and Delgany, all of which offer an excellent selection of schools, cafés, restaurants, artisan shops, and everyday amenities. While enjoying the tranquillity of country living, the property remains conveniently located just minutes from the N11, providing easy access to Bray, Greystones, DART services, the Luas at Cherrywood and Carrickmines, and Dublin City Centre.
