Bayview, Windgates, Bray, A98EW61

DNG Greystones is proud to present Bayview, Windgates, a truly unique property offering an exceptional opportunity to create a distinctive home in a breathtaking coastal setting.

Perched atop Windgates at the end of a private lane, Bayview enjoys an enviable elevated position overlooking rolling agricultural lands and sweeping coastal views stretching south towards Greystones. This remarkable property provides the perfect canvas for those seeking to craft a home of character, privacy, and charm.

Bayview is far more than a detached 1970s bungalow; it represents a small rural enclave rich in history and potential. The holding includes two original detached cottages dating from the late 1800s (approx. 23 Sq M) and early 1900s (approx. 44 Sq M), along with a barn, stables, and two garages, all set within approximately 5.53 acres of grounds.

Opportunities to acquire a landholding of this scale so close to both Greystones and Bray are exceptionally rare. The lands may suit a variety of uses, including equestrian pasture, small-scale horticulture, or the creation of a natural sanctuary designed to support local flora and fauna.

The existing bungalow extends to approximately 89 Sq M and benefits from an elevated yet private outlook across the surrounding acreage. While the layout reflects the character of its era, it offers excellent scope for modernisation and redesign, allowing a future owner to transform it into a contemporary home designed for modern living.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch leading to an L-shaped hallway. To the left, an open-plan living and dining area enjoys pleasant views over the surrounding landscape. To the rear lies the kitchen, while two of the three bedrooms overlook the front garden with sea views beyond. A third bedroom and shower room face the rear courtyard garden.

To the right side of the bungalow are two garages extending to approximately 46 Sq M in total, which may offer potential for incorporation into the main residence, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The original cottages and outbuildings require refurbishment but present a wealth of possibilities for the discerning purchaser, whether for restoration, creative reuse, or lifestyle enhancement.

Bayview is a property of rare character and remarkable potential, and personal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
