Wicklow, Bray, Ireland

DNG Greystones is excited to present this characterful detached cottage with mature gardens
of just under one acre to the market. The Barn, Windgates as the name suggests was once a barn
or an outbuilding to a nearby farm and has evolved over the years into a light filled home that
has been owned by the current family for almost 5 decades. The cottage with its cut stone
facade, a gorgeous gravel courtyard entrance and mature gardens certainly exudes the charm
of a bygone era. The property offers wonderful potential not only to modernise the existing
accommodation, but the discerning buyer will also appreciate the fabulous potential that the
numerous outbuildings and garage offer. The wonderfully mature and private gardens will
certainly add colour and privacy all year round to this rather unique and very appealing home.

The accommodation of approx. 146 Sq M comprises a reception hall with parquet flooring. A
bay windowed living room enjoys a dual aspect with very pleasant views of the gardens and
features a solid fuel stove. The kitchen dining room is also dual aspect, and a rear porch gives
access to the gardens. The accommodation is completed with 4 bedrooms all enjoying views
of the gardens and two bathrooms. Whilst not considered accommodation, the outbuildings
which in some cases predate the cottage, offer another approx. 117 Sq M of very useful space
that could be remodelled for a variety of purposes depending on requirements. The first
outbuilding could have been a farrier's cottage and the old forge with chimney is still evident
today, the 2nd outbuilding features a cobble floor, and the garage has a mechanics pit. To the
rear of the garage is another room that over the years has been used as bedroom
accommodation, den and home office. 

The property is approached through a gravel courtyard entrance with the outbuildings on two
sides and the cottage on the right hand side of the courtyard. The main gardens then wrap
around the cottage on 3 sides, Mature trees, well stocked flower beds, a large lawn, a beech
hedge and large vegetable plots are sure to keep the keenest of gardeners busy during the
summer months.  

The location on Windgates has a lovely rural feeling and boasts a tranquillity that is hard to
find in a property that is so close to Greystones and Bray. 
Within 2km you have a number of schools, public transport including Dublin Bus and
Aircoach bus services and a selection of shops. Greystones Dart station and sea front is just
3.8km away and Bray Dart station, bus terminus and sea front is only 5.7 km away. Directly
opposite the property is the superb Belmont Demesne with its kilometers of biking and
walking trails and a highly regarded restaurant. The equally popular Killruddery estate is also
very close by.

Personal inspection of this delightful cut stone cottage is a must to appreciate the colourful
gardens, light filled accommodation and numerous outbuildings.
