Exuding all the visual charm of the Georgian era, Glenbrook House on c.3.3 acres combines period character with modern amenity. Believed to have been conceived as either a Glebe or Dower House for one of the landed estates locally and built in the early 1800 s, the residence demonstrates the visual balance and architectural symmetry redolent of Georgian times. Home for some years in the early 20th century to leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, John Redmond, a palpable sense of history abides even today as the gently curving hedge-lined avenue reveals this protected structure s handsome edifice whereupon it soon becomes evident that a truly sensitive undertaking to extend and enhance an already fine property in this early 21st century has succeeded spectacularly.
Conserving the original Georgian section to the front with its functioning sash windows and shutters, complete with beautiful period fireplaces and ceiling plasterwork, a single-storey central section in which the custom design family kitchen is cleverly located, acts as an effective bridgehead to the two-storey South Wing which belies its modernity, blending seamlessly in visual style with the original. At ground floor level this South Wing comprises a superbly proportioned c.72 sq m / 775 sq ft reception room where three pairs of French windows invite access between it and the garden perfect for entertaining. Upstairs three double bedrooms and two bathrooms render this ideal for large or extended families; while returning to the Georgian front wing we find an elegantly arched reception hall opening, in turn, to a drawing room, a dining room (both with fine bay windows), a family room and a home office/study.
One of the many aspects which impressed us upon inspection is the wonderful sense of light due to the number of rooms enjoying a dual aspect. On the first floor, around an L-shaped gallery landing, we find four bedrooms of which the principal is ensuite, one of these bedrooms features extensive fitted wardrobes as befits its current role as a dressing room; and a further family bathroom.
The c.3.3 acres of grounds are a delight, well screened by established hedgerows and mature trees including many specimen examples, they provide great scope for the keen gardener, indeed for anyone who appreciates nature with pleasant pathways through which to walk at leisure and find space to pause and meditate. A useful range of outbuildings includes a large, detached garage providing excellent scope for the hobbyist.
Delgany is an ideal location in which to live; the stone-walled village ambiance is enhanced by friendly hostelries, welcoming eateries, craft butcher s, epicurean grocery, and delicatessen offerings while all coastal Greystones amenities are minutes drive away. A fine choice of primary and secondary education stands shoulder to shoulder with admirable leisure amenities such as rugby, tennis, soccer, GAA, sailing and shore-angling clubs, with equine pursuits and golf abounding in the area. Commuters have the choice of citybound and DART feeder buses, and easy access to the N11/M11/M50 corridor with Dublin airport capable in well under an hour off-peak.
All in all, this is a magnificent opportunity to acquire a very special period home offering character with modern flair in an idyllic setting within a welcoming community.
