Valentine's Lane, Donard, Co. Wicklow, W91WD00

CHAIN-FREE SALE. There are very few properties which will deliver the combination of Residence / Land / Barn / Privacy / Dramatic Scenery as well as this particularly well-presented family home at Valentine’s Lane, Donard. The property offers up to 2.75 acres of land, ideally suited for horses and located in an area which is awash with trekking trails and renowned for its endurance horse trials. Set on the crest of elevated lands in the Townland of Blackmoor, this appealing property is only 1Km from the N81 but is discretely tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, to offer complete privacy.   The cul-de-sac is shared with 3 other users only, and the boundaries enclosing the residence are well established and continue to mature.  The Residence was built in 2002 and the immediate lawns and gardens have continued to be developed to deliver intriguing outdoor spaces to compliment the family home. The views from the lands towards Church Mountain and Table Mountain are stunning for sure, and views of the Slieve Bloom mountains can be enjoyed when relaxing in the outdoor spaces – ideally laid-out to exploit the southerly and westerly aspects.  The fire-hut is a feature, ideal for entertaining extended family and close friends. The extended seating area off the Kitchen is an everyday space to catch the sun and both are beautifully complimented with the thoughtfully placed shrubbery and lawns. Inside, the 4-Bed room residence has matured with the family – ample fitted storage where needed, study desks in Bedrooms and an active Living area and Kitchen around which family life revolves. West Wicklow is a fabulous location to reside in.  Dotted with vibrant communities but no train and no motorway - a genuine alternative to the busyness of other commuting areas around the capital city.  Peacefulness and "being in touch with nature" prevails, yet you are a straight 47Km drive to Dame Street in Dublin 2, and 18Km south of Blessington Town – the 132 Bus Route should be investigated.   Donard Village is the local community hub – serviced with local shop, primary school and a never-say-die GAA Club, and a choice of pubs for the convivial evening. Secondary Schools are available at Dunlavin, Baltinglass and Blessington. The surrounding countryside is renowned for recreational walking and the new Owners will have choice of 4 Golf Clubs within 14Km and various well-regarded equestrian centres close by.

The Barn storage (100 sq. m) is an excellent structure.  Ideal for stables if required and a valuable addition.
