Five-bed bungalow has panoramic views

The Co Wicklow village of Newtownmountkennedy is a 10 minute drive south of Greystones, yet both the village and its hinterland manage to retain a quiet and rural feel in spite of its proximity to the N11. Brookwell House, Grove Meadow, Newtownmountkennedy is a large five-bedroom house that is just over a year old. The dormer-style bungalow is on an elevated one-acre site which commands panoramic views of fields and hills. An 18-hole golf course is to be developed to the rear of the property.

Sherry FitzGerald is seeking offers in excess of £495,000 in a private treaty sale. The house has a generous 3,300 sq. ft with the accent on both space and style. There are large reception rooms, a lovely kitchen, and a large first floor landing which could be used as a family or office area. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, two further bedrooms upstairs and four of the five bedrooms are en suite.

Off the entrance hall is a big dining room with a cast-iron fireplace. Double doors lead from this room to an equally large, bright kitchen with double patio doors leading out to south facing lawns. The kitchen is floored in limestone paving tiles in warm, earthy shades. Smart country style kitchen units surround an Aga cooker set in a surround of striking blue tiles. The units continue into the utility room which is plumbed for washing machine and dishwasher. Off the utility room there is a small lavatory. Double doors from the kitchen lead to a rear-facing 23 sq. ft living room which has large south-facing windows. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, including the main bedroom and all are painted in fresh bright colours. Two of these have en suite facilities while the main bedroom also has a dressing room.

Outside there is a detached two-car garage, with front and back gardens set out in lawns.
