Description

A fine spacious period four-bedroom family residence dating from the 1930's.  Set on extensive south facing walled gardens enhanced by mature trees, "Braemar" is full of character with generous room proportions complemented by 10ft high ceilings. The property has been renovated and maintained in meticulous order yet retains all the fine features of the period including all the original fireplaces.  The property also benefits from every modern comfort embodied in the custom maple kitchen and the luxury bathroom.

With c. 141.32 sq.m / 1,521sq.ft of living accommodation, plus a c. 16.94sq.m / 182sq.ft garage, a sheltered back garden and an extra-wide side garden, this is a truly special property in an enviable location on tree-lined Old Connaught Avenue, minutes from Bray DART, Dublin Bus routes, shopping, schools and with easy access to the N11/M11 and M50 road networks.

Just inside the boundaries of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council, on the northern approach to Bray, "Braemar" enjoys a location which is both sought-after and convenient with Bray's schools, shopping and transport are immediately at hand. Leafy Old Connaught Avenue accesses some of the Garden County's most scenic countryside via Enniskerry where Powerscourt House and Gardens are just minutes' drive.

"Braemar" has been tastefully updated without sacrificing its character; lovely high ceilings with original cornice-work, open fireplaces, original bell-push system in working order. Yet, all complemented by the custom fitted kitchen, luxury bathroom, replacement glazing, wiring and plumbing systems.

This is a fine family residence with the option of further development potential (subject to planning); as the side garden may have potential to extend or, in certain circumstances, create another dwelling unit based on recent precedent and densities.
