Description
Welcome to Vale House, a wonderful, period style, 3 bedroom, semi-detached family home, set over two levels and very conveniently located adjacent to The People’s Park in Bray and within an easy stroll of the town centre. Now extending to 95 sq.m. / 1,022 sq.ft. the original house was built circa 1878 and has been modified and upgraded within the last fifteen years to include a new kitchen, new bathrooms, rewiring and replumbing. Energy upgrades include increased wall and attic insulation and the installation of double glazed sash and casement hardwood windows throughout. Many of the original features such as the cast iron fireplaces, sash style windows to the front and a pitched roof over the entrance door give this home an authentic period feel.
Briefly, the accommodation comprises of a bright and welcoming hallway with understairs Smart Storage and access to the guest WC. To the right is the living room with views to the front and features an open fireplace. The hallway flows into the dining room which adjoins the kitchen. The dining room also has a large, cast-iron open fireplace, window out to the rear and floor to ceiling bespoke cabinetry incorporating the laundry utility appliances, storage shelving and cupboards. The bright and airy kitchen is very well appointed with a good range of fitted wall and base units and integrated appliances. A glazed hardwood door leads from the kitchen out to the rear garden. The carpeted stairway rises to the landing where there are three good sized bedrooms, two to the front and the principal bedroom to the rear. A large family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside to the front is an enclosed sandstone patio with flower beds planted with perennial lavender and a jasmine climber and is bordered by whitewashed walls and cast iron railings. To the rear is a good-sized patio laid in Indian sandstone, astro turf with a timber skate ramp and metal Biohort storage shed. Attractive climbing plants are planted around the perimeter. There is side access to the rear garden which is partly covered and ideal for additional storage.
Located on Pearse Road in Bray, Vale House is ideally situated practically beside The People’s Park and within a few minutes’ walk of Castle Street Shopping Centre and Bray town centre, which offers a vast array of shops, supermarkets, eateries and amenities. There is a great choice of highly regarded creches, primary and secondary schools in the locality. For sporting enthusiasts there is a huge array of clubs and facilities nearby. For commuters, the DART is within 10 minutes’ walk, there are many Dublin bus routes close by and easy access to the N11 / M50 corridor.
