Set on an elevated position with uninterrupted sea views, 58 Windgates Cottages, a 4 bedroom semi-detached cottage dating to 1911 has been upgraded with modern finishes internally giving a seamless blend of old and new. You’ll find this comfortable home on the eastern side of the scenic Bray to Greystones road, offering views of Bray Head to the north, east across the Irish Sea and south to Greystones Marina from the rear of this approx. 146 sq m / 1,572 sq ft truly unique property.

With off street car parking for 4 cars behind mature hedged boundaries, the charming façade of this quirky property opens from the entrance porch into what was originally the living room of this home when first built, now in use as a spacious entrance hallway, off which one will find 2 large bedrooms to the front and rear, and a half stairs up to the main bedroom with beautiful sea views and privacy ensured by the ensuite bathroom. To the rear of the house an architect designed extension dating to 2004 includes a barrel-vaulted copper felted roof in a crescent shape over the living room which is on the same level as the main bedroom, which intercommunicates into the reception space. This room is truly magical, with magnificent sea views and arguably the best spot in the house from which to watch the sunrise. A glazed door brings one outside to the balcony which overlooks the rear garden, while inside a wood burning stove ensures winter evenings are cosy in this peaceful and private retreat.

Going down the stairs you will come to the open plan kitchen / dining room where the eye is immediately drawn to the splendid views outside of the Irish Sea. Flooded with natural light, this dual aspect space is an absolute delight to enjoy either solo or while entertaining company. The shelved larder, utility room and full bathroom are ample in size and cover all practicalities of modern living. The fourth bedroom is also to be found on this level – a well proportioned double.

You'll be just a short walk away or convenient bus ride away from the many amenities on hand in Greystones, including restaurants, cafes, shops, and more. The sailing and rowing clubs in the Marina will appeal to budding or active sailors, and sea swimmers will be able to nip home from a dip in no time. The recent addition of The Barrel Sauna to The Boatyard completes the most convenient and attractive retail and hospitality space minutes’ 20 walk from the home. The active retired will appreciate the nearby Bridge Club and Men’s Shed while the younger set will enjoy the sea and the endless water sports possibilities. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a bustling social scene, this cottage offers the best of both worlds.
