Property Description
The Glasshouse enjoys a truly exceptional hilltop setting on circa 1.2 acres of land with fabulous panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a striking home with immense potential, ready for its next owner to complete and finish to their own taste and specification.
Currently at builder’s fix stage, the property presents a wonderful blank canvas for the discerning purchaser. The layout has been designed to accommodate three bedrooms (as per planning), a large well-proportioned living space and a substantial garage, allowing the new owner the exciting opportunity to tailor finishes, fittings and interior styling to suit their own vision. With its elevated aspect and generous site, the house is ideally positioned to maximise natural light and take full advantage of the stunning outlook, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling NorDan windows and doors with the highest possible certification for security.
Internally, the home is envisioned as a bright and contemporary living space featuring barn inspired exposed timber uprights and beams within the bright white space, creating a seamless balance of warmth and modern design. The layout incorporates a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Standing on a generous plot, the property occupies an enviable hilltop position that offers both total privacy and seclusion and a wonderful sense of space. The grounds provide ample room for landscaping, gardens and outdoor living, while the elevated location frames the surrounding countryside beautifully. The plot encompasses two folios, with the ruins of an old cottage sitting on the second, offering potential for development of the site. The fabulous views are a defining feature of this home and, combined with no light pollution, create a special sense of calm and uninterrupted night skies.
The property has been carefully designed as a low energy passive A1 eco house steeped in sustainability, incorporating an array of energy-efficient features. It further benefits from private well water and is built with quality materials including Blue Bangor Natural Slate roofing finish.
A double-door garage provides excellent storage and practical space, complementing the overall scale and functionality of the home. Despite its tranquil and rural setting, the property remains exceptionally well connected with 5Gb fibre optic broadband, allowing for modern remote working and seamless connectivity.
Located in the scenic surrounds of Avoca, this property enjoys the best of country living while remaining accessible to local amenities, village services and the many natural attractions for which the area is renowned. Avoca is celebrated for its charm, heritage and beautiful landscape, making it an increasingly popular choice for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle within County Wicklow.
The Glasshouse represents a superb opportunity to complete and personalise a unique detached home in an outstanding setting. With its generous site, elevated position and breathtaking views, this is a property of enormous promise that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Viewings strictly by appointment only.
