A Remarkable Coastal Residence in the Garden of Ireland.

Drayton Manor is not simply a home. It is a private residence created for living life on a grand scale.

Hidden behind electric gates on Ireland’s celebrated east coast, just moments from Brittas Bay and less than an hour from Dublin, this remarkable residence extends to approximately 16,324 sq.ft. and occupies beautifully landscaped grounds of approximately 2.5 acres.

Few properties in Ireland offer such a compelling blend of scale, character and lifestyle. Designed as a home for family, friends and unforgettable gatherings, Drayton Manor combines elegant reception rooms and luxurious bedroom accommodation with a collection of extraordinary
spaces rarely found in a private residence. A spectacular octagonal ballroom, traditional Irish pub, private cinema, cigar room, wine cellar, games house and extensive entertaining terraces create an environment unlike anything else currently available on the market.

At its heart, however, remains a warm and welcoming family home. Light-filled reception rooms overlook the gardens, while the handcrafted kitchen serves as the natural gathering place for everyday life. Throughout the house, a sense of craftsmanship, individuality and generosity of scale is evident at every turn.

The accommodation currently extends to eleven bedrooms, while the scale and versatility of the residence present further opportunities for those seeking additional guest or family accommodation. Whether hosting intimate family celebrations or large-scale events, Drayton
Manor offers a flexibility seldom found in a modern home.

Outside, mature gardens unfold around a meandering stream, charming bridges and a secluded island retreat, creating an atmosphere of privacy and tranquillity. A man-made waterfall, riverside walkway and a series of beautifully designed outdoor spaces further enhance the residence’s unique character. South and west-facing terraces, an outdoor jacuzzi, pizza cabin and multiple entertaining areas provide the perfect setting for long summer evenings, while the grounds themselves offer a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from the coast.

The location is exceptional. Positioned between Brittas Bay and Wicklow Town, Drayton Manor sits at the gateway to some of Ireland’s finest natural and sporting amenities. The golden sands of Brittas Bay and Magheramore Beach are only minutes away, while Wicklow’s mountains, forests and national park offer endless opportunities for hiking, horse riding, sailing and outdoor pursuits.

For golf enthusiasts, few addresses could be better placed. Brittas Bay Club, formerly The European Club and now undergoing a significant transformation into one of Europe’s most exclusive private golf clubs, lies just minutes from the property. Already regarded as one of the finest links courses in the world, the club is entering an exciting new chapter following substantial investment and redevelopment.Regularly ranked amongst the World’s Top 100 Golf Courses, the course has welcomed some of the game’s greatest names, including Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Padraig Harrington and Gary Player. McIlroy himself famously described it as “probably the best links course I’ve ever played”, high praise indeed for a venue that is set to become one of Europe’s most prestigious private golfing destinations.

Increasingly recognised as Ireland’s premier coastal lifestyle destination, the Brittas Bay area combines championship golf, unspoilt beaches, sailing, equestrian pursuits and remarkable natural beauty, all within easy reach of Dublin and its international airport.

Beyond Brittas Bay Club, the wider Wicklow region is home to several of Ireland’s most celebrated golf destinations, including Druids Glen, Druids Heath, Powerscourt and Wicklow Golf Club, further enhancing the area’s appeal to both domestic and international buyers seeking a worldclass lifestyle offering.

Despite its peaceful setting, connectivity is superb. Dublin City Centre is within approximately one hour’s drive, Dublin Airport can be reached in little over an hour, while the nearby M11 provides seamless access to the capital, Ireland’s business centres and international transport links.

Adding further distinction is the property’s impressive B3 BER rating, a rarity for a residence of this scale and substance.

Drayton Manor is a home for those who seek something genuinely different. Grand yet welcoming, private yet connected, it represents one of the most distinctive private residences to come to the market in Ireland in recent years.
