Delgany, Wicklow, Ireland

Silver Birches is a delightful, deceptively spacious (approx. 530sq.m including attic) house in a superb garden setting close to Delgany Village. Delgany offers the ideal compromise between country and urban living by being in the countryside but adjoining all facilities including the ever-popular Greystones with its beach, harbour and wide array of shops and restaurants and Dart line to Dublin City.

The original house was built in the early 1960's but the current vendor substantially extended and altered the property in the 70's with further improvements in subsequent decades, with the emphasis on ensuring the result is a bright light-filled house which has numerous access points to the colourful and spacious grounds.
