Papion, Erskine Avenue, The Burnaby, Greystones, Co Wicklow, A63 AV88, Ireland

Set on a gloriously private c. 0.75 acre, "Papion" is a versatile, bungalow style family home with development potential (subject to Planning Permission) in the south-west facing rear garden. Enjoying an exclusive location in The Burnaby, Erskine Avenue is one of the Burnaby's lesser travelled pretty pockets, ideally situated between Old Mill Road and Portland Road, offering the utmost of convenience being a short walk to the rugby and tennis clubs and an easy stroll home from Greystones Golf Club.

The owner occupiers have lovingly maintained this charming 4 bedroom, detached residence which has been their family home for over four decades during which time they have overseen a seamless extension, garage conversion and installation of a much loved gazebo in the serene rear garden. The impressive ground floor accommodation is approached through a pretty tiled entrance porch, opening from the entrance hallway to a welcoming sitting/dining room with a beautiful vista of the colour filled rear garden, while the wood burning stove caters for a cosy evenings in this open plan reception space. Access to the extended portion of the home is through double doors which lead one to the light-infused sunroom where French doors open to a smart paved patio at the back of the home. One will also find the well-appointed home office along with 2 exceptionally large double bedrooms which enjoy shared use of the "jack and jill" bathroom on this side of the property. The attic is floored for storage with a Stira staircase giving easy access to a large storage space which could be suitable for conversion, subject to Planning Permission.

Also radiating from the reception hall is a TV room or snug complete with wood burning stove which could be used as a playroom or a 5th bedroom. A single bedroom with built in wardrobe storage and full bathroom are to be found off the hallway heading towards the attractive kitchen/breakfast room with views of the south-west garden. From here one enters the area which has been cleverly converted from a former garage to a bright reading room and the practical utility room beyond which opens to the serene outdoors. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite boasts a beautiful dressing area with extensive built in wardrobes, ensuite shower room and further storage space in the eaves.

The expansive gardens of approx 0.75 acre are truly a delight, well screened from view and offering the keen gardener and nature lover plenty of interest in specimen trees and shrubs, an orchard section, kitchen garden, flowering bushes, all lending the gardens an array of year-round colour. In addition, the covered gazebo alongside Indian sandstone patio can be screened from wet or windy weather at the drop of a hat, with the wood fired clay oven situated alongside giving inspiration for food lovers to enjoy this ideal entertainment and relaxation zone year round. The calm and tranquillity bely the fact that one is a mere ten minutes on foot to all the amenities on Church Road.
