Craglands, Portland Road North, The Burnaby, Greystones, Co Wicklow, A63 NA48, Ireland

Craglands is a truly impressive detached Edwardian home with tremendous potential to be tastefully transformed into a modern home whilst retaining it's original character, charm, and Period features. Positioned on a large private secluded corner site of 0.24HA / 0.6 acres approx. in the heart of the prestigious Burnaby Estate, within easy reach of the seafront, beaches, Greystones Golf Club, town centre and DART station.

Dating back to around 1903 Craglands features in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. While in need of refurbishment, Craglands retains its wonderful original
character, charm, and period features. The interior offers a blend of bright, elegant reception rooms, cosy family areas and spacious bedroom accommodation. Notable
features include high ceilings, intricate plasterwork, fireplaces, large multi-pane windows and a wealth of other architectural details that make this home truly special. The property is set within beautifully proportioned gardens, making it an exceptional residence in a highly sought-after location.

The spacious accommodation spanning approximately 260.8 sq.m (2,807 sq.ft), briefly includes an entrance hall leading to a family room with access to a sun terrace, bay windowed dual aspect living room, formal dining room which has been reconfigured into a downstairs bedroom (6) with shower room en suite, kitchen breakfast room and utility
room. Upstairs, there is a bright landing with feature roof light, main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, four additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The delightful sun terrace overlooks the original grass tennis court, making it a superb outdoor entertaining and relaxation space. The charming gardens are surrounded and
interspersed with mature trees, shrubbery and hedging, screening the property fully from the road. Uniquely, the property has three vehicular access points: one from Portland
Road North at the front and two from Hawkins Lane-one leading to the detached garage and the other a pedestrian gate to the rear of the house. These multiple entry points not
only enhance convenience but also lend themselves to flexible living arrangements, such as multigenerational use, a home office with private access, or even potential for further
development, subject to the necessary permissions. The property also has the benefit of a lapsed planning permission for the construction of a detached house of 287 sq.m (3,089
sq.ft) on 0.14 hectares (0.3 acres) of its garden (Ref. 07/247 - Wicklow County Council).

Craglands is described in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a "Detached multiple-bay two-storey Domestic Revival style house, built c.1900. The building is roughly L-plan with typically asymmetrical elevations, that to the east having a slightly Tudoresque appearance. The façade is largely finished in unpainted roughcast with a large section of the north elevation in brick, and mock timber framing to the north-facing gable. The tiled gable-ended pitched roof has decorative ridge tiles and an overhang with exposed rafter
ends and plain bargeboards. There are two tall chimneystacks, one in brick, one rendered.

The entrance is to the north elevation and consists of a replacement glazed timber door set within a large segmental-headed porch recess. The windows are of various sizes but
all are flat-headed and mainly have timber casement frames, however some of those to the Tudoresque east elevation have granite mullions and transoms. There is a five-sided
flat-roofed bay window to this elevation also. Part cast-iron, part uPVC rainwater goods.

The house is set at the side of a secluded partly tree-lined suburban street but is surrounded by a relatively large garden enclosed by a hedge. To the north side of thegarden is a timber carriage gateway. Memorable Domestic Revival house with slightly unusual Tudoresque east elevation. A fine, well preserved example of the genre".

The Burnaby Estate - redolent of the 1890's Edwardian era - offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Just a short stroll to the sea, which is central to life in
Greystones, with a new harbour complex boasting a marina and clubs for sailing, kayaking, angling etc. Greystones has an enviable variety of sports amenities to choose
from including rugby, soccer, GAA, and of course golf. Shoreline Leisure Centre, winner of Ireland's Best Leisure Centre 2015, has a swimming pool, gym and various other facilities.

The local schools are highly regarded, with excellent primary and secondary schools both within the town and nearby. Greystones is within 30km of Dublin City and is served by the
L1, L2, L3, X1 and X2 bus routes.

Craglands offers an outstanding opportunity to create a modern spacious home of character in one of Greystones' most coveted locations. Viewing is highly recommended.
