Artistic haven in Greystones with fairytale gardens and its own sauna
The eye-catching family home is on the market for €780,000.
SITUATED JUST BEHIND the ruins of an old mill in Greystones, Co Wicklow, Leo House is a two-bedroom home that’s also a wonderful slice of contemporary architecture, making the best use of light and space possible.
Floor-to-ceiling windows can be found throughout the property, and a sunroom catches the evening rays.
As for the price, it’s relatively reasonable given the location and architectural features, with a starting price of €780,000.
The mauve paintwork is certainly eye-catching, but there’s plenty more to please the aesthetically inclined too, from lush gardens outside to double height ceilings inside.
Spanning 189 sq m/2042 sq ft, Leo House was originally designed as a three-bedroom home, but currently has only two: conversion, however, could easily take place if more sleeping space was needed.
The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom access: there’s also a shower in this bathroom.
The main bathroom is home not only to a large shower, but a sauna for those inclined towards steaming away life’s stresses.
Leo House isn’t just beautiful on the inside – the property boasts absolutely stunning gardens that can be viewed from many parts of the house.
The driveway is bedecked with plants, shrubs and mature trees, and that’s just one part of the green space. There’s a circular rose garden with a pond; a raised flower bed off the sunroom, and a vegetable plot.
The property’s location in Greystones is an enviable one: the Wicklow village has no shortage of amenities and is close to both the coast and the Dublin Mountains.
There are schools and sporting facilities in abundance nearby, and the DART line will have you in the city centre in less than an hour.
There are also links to the N11, M50 and airport in the town, so commuting is a breeze.
Leo House, Mill Road, Greystones, Co. Wicklow is on sale for €780,000 from Sherry FitzGerald Greystones via Daft.ie.
