A dormer bungalow, built around 20 years ago and updated over the years, is the kind of property that people looking to get away from it all – and who love gardening – might fancy.
It is a short drive from Delgany village at the bottom of a long cul de sac, sitting on an acre of lawns surrounded by tall trees.
Clonmore, Kindlestown Hill, Kindlestown Lower, Delgany, Co Wicklow, a 217sq m (2,336sq ft) detached four-bed, is for sale by private treaty for €880,000 through Sherry FitzGerald.

A separate double garage has a converted loft with an en suite bedroom which the owner’s son occupied as a teenager.
A lot of the work in modernising Clonmore has already been done – bedrooms have en suites, there’s an island unit with a polished granite countertop in the extended kitchen that opens onto a deck in the back garden.
But new owners might want to extend – and there is plenty of room to do so. The washer and dryer are in the garage, for example, so new owners may want to create a utility room off the kitchen.
The feature of the house that its current owner fell for was the galleried landing overlooking the large tiled front hall with its pitched ceiling.
The long kitchen on its right, revamped 10 years ago, opens through glazed double doors onto a deck at the back. Next to it is the more formal carpeted livingroom-cum-diningroom which opens into a conservatory with a tiled floor, recessed lighting and double doors onto a patio at the side of the house.
One of the two downstairs double bedrooms has an en suite; the other is now fitted out as a TV room/family room, with a guest bathroom beside it.
Upstairs the main bedroom has a large handsome modern en suite with Travertine-tiled walls and floor, two basins set into a mosaic-tiled shelf, an oval bath and a large walk-in shower.
Another double bedroom upstairs has a small en suite shower room.
The house is surrounded by beautifully tended lawns, bordered by tall, mature trees, and planted with cherry and apple trees and silver birch.
Electronic gates open into a long driveway – there is plenty of room to park lots of cars.
The house is a short drive and about a half-hour walk up a steep hill from Delgany village.
A right-of-way beside the house leads down to the Delgany-to-Greystones road, coming out at Delgany National School, and also up to the new Seagreen development at Blacklion,says the owner's son.
He used to cycle this way from Clonmore down to Greystones Dart station.
