Description
Nestled along the ever-desirable Church Road in the heart of Greystones, Ardmore is a captivating five-bedroom home dating back to the 1930’s – a home of immense charm, elegance and character, surrounded by beautiful mature gardens bursting with colour and life throughout the seasons. Retaining many original details throughout and exuding warmth and character, this is a home of rare charm and enduring appeal.
From the moment of arrival at Ardmore, you know that you have come across something special. Mature trees, planting and sweeping gardens create a private setting, while the handsome façade hints at the wonderful interiors within. Inside, the accommodation extends to well-proportioned reception rooms and bright family living spaces, all enhanced by a wealth of original features.
High ceilings, original fireplaces and doors, timber flooring, decorative cornicing and large picture windows combine to create interiors of warmth and sophistication. The choice of reception rooms are perfectly suited to both everyday family living and entertaining, with the more formal drawing room and living room having original open fireplaces and the more relaxed family room providing a perfect spot for a playroom or den. The modern country style kitchen and dining areas enjoy lovely garden views coupled with natural light throughout the day from the large feature ‘Hamptons style’ windows and Velux. There is also a guest wc, utility, hotpress and storage closet on this level. The home offers exceptional flexibility for modern family life while retaining all the charm and elegance of its 1930’s origins.
Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation, each enjoying peaceful views over the surrounding gardens. All bedrooms are extremely bright and airy and boast dual aspect windows, while the largest bedroom enjoys a triple aspect over the gardens. The main bedroom has a modern en suite and walk in wardrobe. A family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.
The gardens at Ardmore are a particular feature of this fine home. Wonderfully mature, they provide an oasis of privacy and colour throughout the seasons. Expansive lawns, mature hedging and secluded seating areas create a tranquil outdoor setting ideal for family enjoyment, entertaining or quiet relaxation. A large outdoor shed/garage provides storage and to the rear of this, a concrete shed has been converted into the most delightful space which can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The location is second to none for family living, with several schools within walking distance, both primary and secondary. The DART is within a short stroll allowing easy access to Dublin City Centre. Greystones Main Street is also a short stroll and is home to a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and essential services, while the nearby beach and harbour offer many activities. There is also an array of sports and leisure clubs catering for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages.
There is parking to the front for numerous cars and a large raised lawn area to the side with stunning Chilean Firebush tree ensuring great privacy along with various other mature trees and plants throughout the stunning gardens. Garden specimens include Climbing Roses, Acer, Laburnum, Delphinium, Aquilegia, Clematis and Cherry Trees to name a few. It really is a gardeners paradise. To the rear there is a paved patio area with space for outdoor furniture along with a large storage space/garage. At the back of the garden, behind the garage, sits a converted concrete shed. Behind the door however, is no ordinary shed, but a proper little shebeen – a ‘lockdown’ project that has provided a cosy spot over the years for many nights of family gatherings. It is full of character and I think a space that the new owners of Ardmore will want to keep.
Ardmore represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period family home full of light and character, coupled with stunning gardens, in one of Wicklows most sought after coastal locations.
