CO WICKLOW: €2.1MA large detached house beside Powerscourt comes with generous garden space around it and an internal layout that has some flexibility, writes Eivlin Roden
A LARGE detached four-bedroom house in Eagle Valley, Enniskerry, is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald with an asking price of €2.1 million.
Eagle Valley, a development of about 100 houses beside the gates of Powerscourt demesne, is laid out in a series of cul-de-sacs.
All the houses are detached and large, with plenty of green space and mature planting.
At the moment there are several properties for sale, ranging from €1.795 million to €2.1 million. The houses, all double fronted, come in three basic styles: Georgian, Victorian and Tudor.
Number 95 is in a Tudor style with black and white details to the front.
It has added a fine conservatory and there is a total floor area of 325sq m (3,500sq ft).
There is oodles of room at hall level which the owners customised at building stage.
The roomy hall with ash floor gives access to a study, livingroom, familyroom and kitchen to the back.
This is a large room fitted on three sides with wooden units, double Belfast sinks, a range and Neff double oven and hob.
There is a large breakfast table and corner bench on the fourth wall. The conservatory and an inner hall, office, utility and playroom open off this.
Upstairs, the four spacious bedrooms are on each corner of the house with three bathrooms in between, two of which are en suite. All of them are bright.
The main bedroom has two windows, one in front and one to the side with sea views.
The en suite is large and has a whirlpool corner bath, two basins and shower.
The two bedrooms on the other side of the landing share an en suite and one is now used as a study with storage and desk space.
There is a fourth double bedroom and a large family bathroom. New owners looking for another bedroom could easily convert one of the downstairs rooms.
Outside, the house is well set back, at the top of a cul-de-sac, with front garden and parking.
The back garden was designed by TV3's Damien Keane and backs onto the eighth hole of Powerscourt golf course.
This south-facing garden is superbly planted with mature shrubs backed by a row of large trees and a secret upper level accessed by wooden-sleeper steps. To the side is an enclosed yard.
