“Braemar” Sidmonton Road, Greystones,Co. Wicklow

“Braemar” a refreshing addition to the Greystones property scene, mainly due to its highly desirable location, metres away from the iconic Greystones Seafront, comes to the market in turnkey condition.

The picture postcard Seafront of Greystones showcases an infinity of breathtaking coastline. Sidmonton Road is a small sleepy slip road which leads directly onto the Seafront. This road is  synonymous with a “best of both worlds” location as much coveted privacy can be enjoyed in addition to the beachfront lifestyle. In simple terms the road is positioned slightly back from the walkers, joggers and sea swimmers all living their best life. The house Braemar, formerly the Braemar hotel, stands tall and proud occupying a corner site on this idyllic residential road.

This imposing detached two storey four bedroom family home built in 1965 features a cleverly designed layout enhanced by both a designer interior and an over generous use of glass windows and doors facilitating the infusion of natural light into literally every single room in the house. High ceilings maximise the overall feeling of space and exceptional brightness throughout.

The recently upgraded accommodation comprises of hallway, downstairs wc, kitchen/dining room, utility room, family room, home office and living room. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, a master ensuite and family bathroom. The well proportioned rooms are clearly defined offering lots of scope to remodel in order to suit ones specific needs. For example the extra reception rooms downstairs could otherwise serve as bedrooms attracting downsizers. Additional and separate access to the rear garden from the accommodation to the side conjures up ideas of a possible self contained unit.

The private west facing garden is a real suntrap mainly laid out in lawn and bordered with mature boundary hedging resulting in privacy and seclusion. Spectacular mountain views can be enjoyed from the master bedroom and by extending the property (subject to permission) sea views could be maximised increasing the future value of the property. There is off street parking for three/four cars.

Sidmonton Road is worthy of a second mention here as most locals aspire to living on this road which is host to a mix of period and modern homes. Living here means a short stroll gets you to Greystones Main street, the state of the art Marina, the Cove, beaches, Dart train station, local schools, shops, award winning restaurants and bars.

Greystones as a town is becoming an increasingly popular place to live needing little introduction these days thanks to The Happy Pear boys, the sea swimming culture and the recognition the town has received on an international level. Greystones won the Livcom awards for the second time in 2021, a highly prestigious international liveable communities award. Excellent public transport links such as the City bound train service, regular bus services and the Dublin Aircoach allow swift access to Dublin airport.
