Refurbished and extended in Enniskerry

There is a lot of space in a refurbished and extended house two to three kilometres from the village of Enniskerry in Co Wicklow. Inside, along with a large bright open-plan kitchen, there’s a family room, a livingroom, a gym and a sittingroom/TV room that’s effectively a home cinema, with a very large wall-mounted TV.

Buyers with large wardrobes may like the two walk-in dressingrooms in the main bedroom suite upstairs: both are fitted with loads of hanging space, drawers and extensive shelving for shoes and handbags.

Beechcroft, a 306sq m (3,294sq m) three/four-bedroom house on about half an acre on Ballyman Road, near the junction with Enniskerry Road, Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, is for sale by private treaty through Sherry FitzGerald for €1.2 million.

Large forecourt Electronic gates open into a large tarmacadamed forecourt, where there’s room to park several cars. The front door opens into a hall floored with polished tiles and a double-height ceiling. It leads to the back of the house where all the rooms open into each other, and all look onto the long back garden through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opening onto a patio.

The livingroom opens through double doors into the large TV room/sittingroom, and this opens, again through double doors, into the diningroom. All these rooms have laminate walnut floors.

The diningroom, opening onto the garden, is at the end of the large open-plan kitchen/ breakfastroom: floored with polished tiles, this has glossy cream units and a large island unit with a beige polished granite worktop. The breakfastroom is in a bay window looking over the front forecourt; a utility room opens off the kitchen.

There is also a family room downstairs at the front of the house and a room with gym equipment that can be used as a bedroom, with a door to a shower room. There’s a cloakroom opening down steps to a side entrance to the house.

Upstairs three double bedrooms open off a wide landing: two are fitted out with bunk beds, one as a girl’s room, the other as a boy’s. A smart family bathroom has a freestanding oval bath and a double shower. The large main bedroom has an en suite as well as those dressingrooms.

The long back garden is sheltered by high hedges and is mainly in lawn. It backs onto a field – from the upstairs windows (and from a tree house at the bottom of the garden) you can see a horse trotting around.
