15 Struan Hill, Delgany, Co Wicklow, A63T6W9

No. 15 Struan Hill occupies one of the finest positions in this exclusive development, the last house on the road, set at the highest point of the estate, with no through traffic. Instead, the boundary gives way to the mature woodland of the Delgany Fairy Trail, so the outlook is of trees rather than tarmac, and the only footfall past the door is that of the family who lives here. It is a rare combination in a modern scheme: the community and convenience of a well-planned development, with the seclusion of a one-off site. From this elevated vantage the house commands magnificent views across Delgany Village and Greystones to the sea, with Bray Head to the north and the Wicklow uplands and Djouce rising behind. Extending to an impressive 299 sq.m / 3,213 sq.ft, this contemporary A2-rated home has been designed and finished to exacting standards, combining remarkable scale, genuine bespoke craftsmanship and outstanding energy efficiency in a setting of considerable natural beauty. The accommodation has been arranged for generosity of space, four substantial bedrooms, three of them served by their own bathrooms, in a house of nearly 3,200 square feet. From the moment one arrives, the sense of quality and individuality is unmistakable. A generous cobble lock driveway provides off-street parking for several cars, while the home's striking architectural form and extensive glazing take full advantage of the elevated site. Internally, beautifully considered finishes, generous proportions and an abundance of natural light combine to create a home that is both visually impressive and exceptionally comfortable, a comfort underpinned by a Panasonic air-to-water heat pump, serving underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators to the bedroom accommodation above. The entrance hall sets the tone immediately: a dramatic double-height ceiling, a feature glazed rear wall opening the view straight through to the gardens, and an elegant glass-panelled balustrade rising alongside the stairs, a clean architectural line carried through to the landings above. Oversized porcelain slabs are laid with the finest of jointing, giving a floor of almost seamless continuity, warm underfoot and lit by carefully positioned recessed downlights. Directly opposite the staircase, a bright triple-aspect family room is laid with extra-wide, extra-long engineered walnut boards and fitted with extensive bespoke cabinetry, a refined space equally suited to relaxing or working. Either side sit a custom-fitted boot room, with inbuilt L-shaped seating and full-height storage, and a guest cloakroom with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware set into a stone countertop beneath an illuminated three-pane vanity mirror. At the heart of the home is a magnificent bespoke kitchen, expertly designed to combine style, functionality and effortless elegance. Exceptional cabinetry provides an abundance of storage through an extensive array of drawers, presses and a substantial illuminated pantry behind a sliding recessed door, while generous stone work surfaces serve everyday family life and entertaining alike. A striking feature island with a large sink and Quooker tap creates a natural gathering point. Integrated appliances include a Siemens microwave, a dual-zone Siemens wine cooler and a full-height Bosch fridge and freezer. The expansive porcelain flooring of the hall continues through, and the room is bathed in natural light, overlooking the landscaped gardens through a window and large sliding door. It balances luxury, comfort and convenience without compromise. Through double glass-panelled doors lies the living room. Framed by expansive corner glazing on two sides, it captures far-reaching sea views to the front while opening directly onto the rear garden. Bespoke wall panelling and fitted cabinetry incorporate a remote-controlled Planika bioethanol insert fireplace and a concealed infotainment unit, creating a warm, uncluttered focal point in a beautifully proportioned room. Off the kitchen, a fully fitted utility room offers extensive floor, eye-level and full-height storage with a stone worktop and twin dishwashers. A second dual-aspect utility, laundry and gym room provides twin washing machines and twin dryers, hanging rails, generous countertop space and bespoke cabinetry throughout, together with a large fitted double linen press and access to roof storage above. Together these spaces ensure that the practical requirements of a substantial family home are met in full. Floor-to-ceiling glazing fills the landing with natural light and frames wonderful views towards the sea. A glass balustrade with a timber handrail continues the architectural language of the hall below, leading to a gallery second landing and to four generously proportioned bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathroom accommodation. The principal suite is a luxurious and private retreat, occupying its own wing of the first floor and approached through a private lobby with storage cupboard and access to roof storage above. The triple-aspect bedroom commands superb views towards the sea and Bray Head. Alongside it, a room-sized walk-in dressing room, fully windowed to the rear garden , is fitted with expansive bespoke wardrobes and a dedicated vanity station, a genuinely rare luxury at this scale. The adjoining bathroom is finished to an exacting standard, with twin wash hand basins set into a marble vanity top, freestanding cabinetry, a bath with hand-held wand and a separate step-in rainfall shower. The remaining accommodation is equally impressive. Bedroom 2 is a large dual-aspect double with its own walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, while Bedroom 3 is a further substantial dual-aspect double with built-in wardrobes and en-suite facilities, each finished with marble vanity tops, rainfall or step-in showers, heated towel rails and large wall-mounted mirrors. Bedroom 4 enjoys a south-easterly aspect and offers excellent flexibility for family, guests or a dedicated home office. Two separate roof storage areas, one above the laundry room and one off the principal suite lobby, provide the kind of practical capacity that a family home of this scale genuinely needs. The south-west facing rear garden is an idyllic outdoor retreat, and an exercise in real landscape design. Expansive stone patios, accessible from the kitchen, living room and rear porch, extend the interior seamlessly outdoors and set the scene for dining and entertaining. Beyond, a level lawn is held within a magnificent amphitheatre-style bank, its tiers retained by sweeping stone-filled gabion walls that curve around the garden and step gently upward. Over a thousand specimens, including rhododendrons and roses, are established across the terraces, with a stone-built water feature adding movement and character. The effect is one of enclosure and shelter, the lawn reads as a stage, framed on every side, while from the upper terraces the setting opens up to reveal views towards Djouce, Delgany village and its church, and the sea beyond. To one flank, the woodland of the Fairy Trail forms a mature green boundary. A particular highlight is the detached garden room. Custom built and opening to the garden through a full wall of folding glazed doors, it provides a superb year-round entertaining space. Bespoke cabinetry, tiled flooring, stone worktops, a wash hand basin, an integrated fridge freezer and a substantial built-in Braai Master barbecue and pizza oven create a genuinely distinctive setting for hosting family and friends, while its scale and finish lend it real versatility as a studio, office or teenage retreat. Outdoor and perimeter lighting, established boundary treatments, timber bin stores and purpose-designed planter boxes complete this beautifully considered exterior. Struan Hill enjoys a superb position close to the historic village of Delgany, with its distinctive stone walls, welcoming cafés, eateries and local amenities, and with the Fairy Trail walks beginning at the end of the road. Greystones is within easy reach, offering an excellent selection of schools, boutiques, restaurants and sporting facilities, together with beaches, coastal walks, the marina and DART services. Convenient access to the N11/M11/M50 corridor further enhances the appeal for those commuting to Dublin. Hall Floor Entrance Hall: 6.28m x 3.55m.
