3 Church Terrace
Bray
Co. Wicklow
A98 RX40

Dating from circa 1830, this is Bray's oldest terrace and, as such, it is of considerable architectural interest. Consisting of five cottages, No. 3 is a two-bedroom home occupying a mid-terrace position. The buildings have been altered to a certain degree in recent years with the replacement of the window frames, however, the terrace retains a picturesque charm and, along with the nearby church, forms an important part of the town's historic core.

Due to the historical significance of the cottage the external façade of the building is listed as a protected structure, and therefore BER Exempt. Internally, the layout is deceptive and scheduled over two levels measuring 70 sq. m to include the attic room. Coming through granite pillars with a planting either side, entering the property, the hall comprises laminate wood flooring. To the left of the hall is the sitting room featuring an open fireplace, laminate wood flooring and beyond is the kitchen fitted with base level units, tiled flooring and splashback, and provisions for all appliances. On the opposite side of the corridor there is access to two double bedrooms, while the shower room complete with shower enclosure, W.C, and whb, is positioned to the rear of the property. Adjacent to hear a door leads out to a courtyard. Returning inside, a hidden staircase off the hall rises to the 20sq. m attic room which can be used for a variety of purposes.

The location is extremely convenient being only 60m from Bray’s main throughfare which contains the newly opened Florentine Shopping Centre, Mermaid Theatre and exhibition space, 650m to Bray Dart station and Seafront, with its wonderful collection of eateries and pubs, and 400m to the People’s Park. In addition, Dublin Bus and Aircoach bus routes are a stone’s throw away. Bray also offers a selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, some of which are a gentle stroll from the property. There’s also easy access to the N11/M11/M50 via Herbert Road. Parking for No. 3 is on street, and it is possible to obtain a residence parking permit through the County Council.

Bray is known as the Gateway to the Garden of Ireland, and is the longest established seaside town in the country. It is only 19km (12 miles) south of Dublin City and is easily reached by DART, Train, Bus or the N11 road. There is an attractive beach and a spacious esplanade. The scenic Cliff Walk on the eastern side of Bray Head, which continues, into Greystones offers walkers a feast of views on the way.

The town boasts fine period housing, shops, restaurants and evening entertainment. Also available in the immediate locality are golf courses, tennis, fishing, sailing, and horse riding. Another feature of Bray is the variety of amusement centres and carnival attractions, bowling alley, and nightclubs. It really is a stand-alone town with the additional advantage of being on the doorstep of Dublin.
