Brook Lodge, Herbert Road, Bray, Co Wicklow,

Description

Unique is a much hackneyed word but is the only description for this superb red brick detached home. This lodge dates back to the 1870's but in recent years has been sensitively extended; a project that has been carried out with flair and no expense spared. On inspection one is not aware where "old meets new", testament to the quality and standard of the project.

Brook Lodge comprises c.135 sq.m / 1,450 sq.ft of bright, well proportioned living space. The main reception room sets the ambience on entry with a wide plank oak floor and period style marble fireplace with coal effect gas fire. Even the Gothic style light fittings are very contemporary.

The kitchen / breakfast room is extremely well fitted with hand painted solid units and Belfast style ceramic sink and drainer; the quarry tiled floor is a lovely feature in this area and the utility. The quality of finish throughout is superb with American hardwood sash windows, deep skirting boards, period cast iron radiators, gas fired central heating, and intercom for electronic entrance gates. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one with three windows, the other with four thus bright and nicely proportioned. The master suite is accessed via a wide carpet fronted spiral stairs and comprises a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and vanity unit, also a large en-suite with power shower and wall to wall display area.

The property is accessed by gates set in high cut stone walls leading to cobble lock front driveway accommodating several cars. Dual gated wide entrances with one leading to split- level west facing hardwood deck and paved area at rear with garden shed.

Herbert Road is one of the most popular residential areas in Bray within easy access of town centre and N11. Educational, shopping and leisure facilities in the locality are first class.  Commuters are well catered for with bus service to Dublin city centre and also the DART.  Motorists will appreciate the easy access to N11 / M11 and M50 connection.

We strongly recommend viewing of this most appealing property.
