Description
- Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty

This very fine mid-Victorian property stands three storeys over garden level in a handsome protected terrace centrally located between Bray’s main thoroughfare and the celebrated esplanade seafront, strolling distance from Dart and train station as well as city-bound buses. The vibrant town of Bray, some c.20 km south of Dublin on the east coast, straddles the Dublin/ Wicklow border and offers easy access to the N11/M11/M50 corridor as well as enjoying a backdrop of some of the most scenic countryside, complementing its seaside setting. Overlooking a tree-lined landscaped area to the front, and with the benefit of a hard-landscaped southerly rear garden, the property is currently in mixed use and offers potential as a home-with-income, a professional practice house, or retro-conversion to a spectacular private residence of grace and elegant proportion. Built in c.1861 as one of a planned row of twelve similar houses, no.2 has a garden area to the front, grassed and planted, enclosed by decorative cast iron railings and matching gates. Approached via stone steps to a feature projecting portico with ionic columns and corner pilasters, the impressively elegant arched entrance hallway offers two fine rooms which are currently in office use, the hall floor return containing a kitchen and access to the rear garden. A first floor return meeting room is light and airy by virtue of being glazed on three sides, and an impressive stairwell rises to the first floor, also in office use, where the finest three rooms of the property reveal decorative plasterwork, cornices, ceiling roses, and period fireplaces. The second floor is laid out as a three-room self-contained residential apartment with panoramic views north and south. A flight of stone steps with decorative cast iron railings lends access to the self-contained two-bedroom apartment of over 80 sq.m./ 870 sq.ft at garden level with access to the rear garden area via a suntrap courtyard. This is a wonderful environment in which to live and work; the seaside location and nearby Wicklow mountains complemented by an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools, retail, and leisure amenities. Athletic sporting clubs include GAA and soccer, an active tennis club, as well as a harbour from which to enjoy sailing and fishing. Connectivity is excellent given the choice of public transport and roads network. This property has been carefully maintained and is offered with the benefit of vacant possession, or a buyer may engage with the current tenants to extend their occupancy to provide income while considering options
