Description
They say good design and build is timeless and this is never truer than with An Grianan in Kilcroney. Nestled in a private woodland setting in an exceptionally convenient location the architect designed south facing house was built in 1976. It was specifically designed to be a passive solar house with a fully glazed front generating heat and exceptional light throughout.

The N11-M50 is literally a 2-minute drive as is the noted Avoca speciality restaurant and shop. Within 5 minutes you have a major supermarket and Bray town centre with its array of shops. In 10 minutes, you can reach the picturesque village of Enniskerry with the adjoining Powerscourt Estate and its world-renowned gardens. 2 championship golf courses lie within a short distance.
THE HOUSE
This ultra-modern 157 sq.m / 1700 sq ft house was designed by Derek Kilfeather, with full glazed elevation to the front of the house over both floors, to merge with the tranquil woodland garden. The modern open plan layout and the doubled glazed windows over the full width of the house generates great connectivity and wonderful views into the garden and the surrounding landscape. There is a cloakroom/shower room off the entrance hall. To the east, over two floors connected by a spiral staircase, there are 4 child size bedrooms fronted by shared study/ office areas overlooking the garden towards the Sugarloaf Mountain. These rooms would be easy to reconfigure into bigger bedrooms/ dressing rooms. To the west, Is the pleasant glass fronted kitchen/dining room with a connecting utility room and attached under stair storage area. A generous living room with a solid wood fired stove completes the ground floor. Upstairs is a cosy second living room. The master bedroom suite with bathroom lies across a small landing.
