Inside this wisteria-clad family home overlooking People’s Park in Bray

No. 2 Glenherbert is the kind of home you fall in love with at first glance. With a wonderful climbing wisteria framing the stained-glass front door, the semi-detached property radiates a charming energy that seems to draw you inward.

Located on Lower Dargle Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow, the four-bedroom home extends to a generous 135 sq.m./ 1,453 sq.ft., and has been upgraded to provide for all the requirements of modern living, including a reroofing in 2023.

The home demonstrates many of the original period features, including bay windows to the front, sash windows, internal doors, high ceilings, ceiling covings and cast-iron fireplaces. Drenched in natural light, the spacious, welcoming feel is further complimented by a wonderful, landscaped rear garden.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming and bright front entrance hallway with an elegant living room to the front with a feature gas fireplace and a tall bay window offering lovely views of the park. The kitchen/dining room is also located off the hallway and is open plan with expansive glazing and a set of doors out to the rear garden.

With seating for eight people, the dining area is complemented by a gas stove inset within a traditional cottage-style fireplace. The office lies off the dining area and has a door to the guest WC/utility, which has an external door to the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are four generously sized bedrooms, each providing light and space. The principal bedroom has a bay window. The family bathroom completes the internal accommodation.

Outside to the front, a gravelled driveway provides off-street parking bordered by granite stone edging, lawn area and flower beds with a host of mature shrubs and flowering plants. There is side access to the rear garden which is predominantly laid in a patio of attractive terracotta tiling along with raised beds containing a great variety of trees and herbaceous plants.

A real suntrap, this rear garden is an oasis of calm.

Located on Lower Dargle Road in Bray, No. 2 Glenherbert is ideally situated beside The People’s Park, which is a wonderful recreational amenity. It is within a few minutes’ walk of Castle Street Shopping Centre and Bray town centre, which offer a vast array of shops, supermarkets, eateries and amenities and the seafront promenade and beach. There is a great choice of highly regarded creches, primary and secondary schools in the locality.
