5 Brabazon Cottages, Bray, Co. Wicklow, A98P046

Brabazon Cottages are a group of five two-bay one and a half story homes that date back to 1882. The fa ade of the terrace is striking; finished in uncoursed rubble and extensive ornate brickwork. This listed terrace dates to the Meath Estate that has made a lasting presence in Bray that at one point held 14,000 acres in Wicklow including Kilruddery House. No. 5 has been the loving family home to the same family for over 50 years, extended in the 1970 s to allow for an indoor shower room and separate kitchen, an enclosed porch to the front and most recently the windows in the property were changed to triple glazing. This home retains much of its original character and charm. The accommodation consists of a generous bedroom/ home office to the front of the property with 1960 s tiled fireplace. Stretching the width of the property is a large square living room with feature tiled fireplace of which is a bright kitchen with a range of wall and floor units, large picture window overlooking the rear courtyard and door allowing access to the garden. Off the kitchen is a shower room incorporating a corner shower, W.C. and pedestal wash hand basin. Upstairs there are two equally sized double bedroom to the front and rear of the property. A gated walled garden to the front allows for planting beds and a place to keep the bins. To the rear there is a side garden with cover that leads into a patio garden. The garden is south facing and captures sun for most of the afternoon. Originally the garden for this property would have had access via a pedestrian lane to the rear of the property but being at the end of the lane this space has been incorporated into the garden. There is access through the rear of the remaining properties should one need it. This well-loved home is now due for renovation but has all the hallmarks of a wonderful period home. The location is second to none, within minutes walking distance to The People s Park a wonderful amenity to have on one s doorstep. Bray Town and Castle Street shopping centre are both close at hand and offer an abundance of shops, schools, restaurants, DART, a regular bus service and access to the N11/M50. We would strongly recommend viewing this special and unique property.
