4 of a Kind: Bright homes in the Garden County with space for outdoor dining
Bray, Arklow and Greystones make the cut, this week.
Arklow, Co Wicklow – €399,000
Space, privacy and a convenient village setting come together at 20 Brookfield, a detached home on Carnew’s Coolattin Road. Built in 2005 and carefully maintained, the B-rated property extends to 166 m², with flexible accommodation suited to family life. The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the house, pairing granite worktops with generous space for gathering around the table. A separate utility room keeps household practicalities tucked away, while the living room has timber flooring and a feature fireplace.
A ground floor room can serve as an office, playroom or fifth bedroom, alongside a guest toilet. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and a family bathroom. Outside, an enclosed garden and patio offer privacy, complemented by a storage shed and ample parking to the front. Carnew’s schools, shops and cafés are within walking distance, with Coollattin Golf Club a short drive away.
Bray, Co Wicklow – €399,000
A communal Italian roof garden brings an unexpected retreat to this two-bed apartment in the centre of Bray. Apartment 1 at Southpoint extends to 76 m² and occupies the first floor of a development with lift access, intercom entry and designated underground parking. Dual-aspect windows brighten the open plan living and dining space, where oak flooring meets a bespoke German kitchen with integrated appliances.
Both bedrooms are doubles, with fitted wardrobes and a marble-finished en suite bathroom in the main bedroom. The main bathroom features Italian marble and underfloor heating, while two hallway cupboards provide useful storage. Shops, cafés and everyday amenities are on the doorstep, with Bray’s Victorian promenade within walking distance. DART and bus services offer connections to Dublin.
Bray, Co Wicklow – €385,000
A sunny south-facing terrace and leafy surroundings give 4 Glencourt Dell a peaceful feel, within walking distance of Bray’s town centre, beach and promenade. Set in a small development off Killarney Road, this ground floor apartment has its own entrance and extends to 86 m². The bright, open plan living and dining space opens through French doors onto the terrace, overlooking landscaped grounds. A recently updated kitchen combines grey Shaker-style cabinetry with integrated appliances.
There are two double bedrooms, including a generous main suite with its own bathroom, fitted wardrobes and an adjoining study that could become a dressing room. A separate bathroom and extensive storage complete the interior. Surface parking, gas-fired central heating, double glazing and a B BER add practical appeal, while nearby bus and DART services provide connections to Dublin.
Greystones, Co Wicklow – €375,000
Overlooking a generous green in Charlesland, this two-bed mid-terrace offers a practical layout, a spacious garden and potential to convert the attic, if you get planning permission. An entrance porch opens into the kitchen and dining area, where contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and tiled flooring make a functional setting for everyday. To the back, a bright living room has a gas fireplace and glazed patio doors opening onto the garden. A downstairs bathroom completes this level.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, including a main bedroom overlooking the green, alongside a fully tiled bathroom with a bath and shower. Charlesland’s shops, fitness facilities and playgrounds are within walking distance, while Greystones offers schools, coastal walks and plenty of sporting options. The marina, Shoreline Leisure Centre and DART station are nearby, with the N11 providing access to Dublin and the M50.
