A Family Home with Beautiful Valley Views

Accessed by a large tree-lined driveway, this warm and character-filled family home sits on an elevated site with beautiful south and west-facing views over the Lisheen Valley. Combining space, privacy and exceptional established gardens, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a highly desirable West Wicklow setting. While it would benefit from modernisation and upgrading, the house and site provide significant scope for extension, reconfiguration and enhancement, allowing purchasers to realise its full potential.

The home is bright and welcoming, with a spacious open plan living/dining room featuring very large picture windows and French doors to a full length west facing veranda — ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A country style kitchen enjoys dual aspect garden views.

There are four generous double bedrooms, including a flexible upstairs L shaped room, previously used as a bedroom and home office. Two large attics run the length of the house, offering excellent potential for further accommodation (subject to planning). Architect designed modernisation concept sketches are available.

Located just on the Dublin / West Wicklow border, the property combines peaceful rural living with excellent connectivity. The local primary school, community facilities and amenities are within walking distance. Easy access to the N81, N7, M50, Luas Park & Ride and close to Saggart/Citywest/ Tallaght on the Dublin side & Blessington/Naas on the Wicklow/Kildare side..

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a much loved home with outstanding gardens, views and future potential.
