ENNISKERRY: €750,000:THERE'S LITTLE hint at Brook Cottage in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, that it used to be a bed and breakfast that was popular with hillwalkers. It looks like a big family home with bags of style and character.
The five-bedroom house is set on five acres in lush countryside and has spectacular views. Sherry FitzGerald is asking €750,000.
There is a bright entrance porch with a hallway that leads to two large double bedrooms, both en suite, and to the kitchen area.
The dining area is a lovely welcoming room that is well-equipped, decorated in soft greys and neutrals with a beamed ceiling where the current owners have a big rustic kitchen table.
The kitchen, by contrast, is very contemporary with Shaker-style wall and floor presses and locally sourced granite work surfaces. There is a door to a large utility room with a shower room just off it.
Upstairs there is a large living cum dining room with an open fireplace. It is dual aspect to make the most of the spectacular mountain views. Bedrooms three, four and five are also located on this level.
A further three attic rooms are located upstairs along with a family shower room.
The grounds are mainly laid in lawn with a small orchard in the middle and the house itself is bordered by mature hedging and trees with ample parking.
A large garage is being used as a self-contained unit.
