Highfield, Ballyvolan, Newcastle, Co Wickliow,

Description

ON 0.51 HA / 1.25 ACRES 

Commanding fine views across rolling countryside south to Wicklow Town and eastwards over the Irish Sea, this superior modern residence strategically located on rising ground set on well-matured gardens offers much appeal with c. 187.50 sq m / 2,017 sq ft family accommodation and a location within 0.75 mile of the N11 at the southern end of the Newtownmountkennedy bypass within easy reach of the village community of Newcastle. The property is maintained in first-class order, with delightfully private and sunny gardens approached from the county road via hardwood gates and a curving, well-lit driveway.

Highfield's versatile layout includes four bedrooms (1 en-suite); sitting / diningroom; impressive marble tiled reception hall; family room and sunlounge / conservatory. Extensive use of tile, timber and mellow brick finishes lend the interior a special flavour and the principal rooms all enjoy good outlook over the gardens with several enjoying a sea view also.

The area is a delight for country living enthusiasts- world-class Druids Glen is just up the road and Glen Mill is even closer if golf appeals; local sports clubs; lake and shore angling; pony-trekking and equestrian eventing at venues like Devil's Glen and Boswell; Dragonhold Stables virtually next door; and a beach at Newcastle.

Citybound buses run from Newcastle where there is a primary school; commuters will find ready access to the N11 ideal, with its connection via the M11 to the M50 and onwards; also the DART at Greystones lends further choice. Kilcoole and Wicklow both have regular outer commuter line train services.

This is a stylish home with elegant main and guest bedrooms, generous reception and delightful gardens.
