The Wicklow to Dublin railway line runs adjacent to the estate and provides a strongly fenced boundary along the eastern side. A dedicated pedestrian crossing provides access to the beach and the scenic Greystones to Wicklow walking trail.
Whilst relatively compact in overall size, the accommodation within the house feels generous and all the principal rooms enjoy a dual aspect, allowing the picturesque mountain and sea views to be enjoyed.
Well placed flagstone terraces easily link and extend the house with large outdoor living spaces. A south facing entrance porch leads into a large reception room study and sitting room.
The entire centre of the house, running the full depth from east to west, comprises a large, combined kitchen and dining space. The dining space opens to a large south and west facing outside terrace.
A drawing room benefits from an extended ceiling height and large open fireplace while the large cloakroom has a WC.
