Enjoying a secluded cul-de-sac setting right next to the links of an adjoining golf club within a mature and much sought-after residential development, this detached redbrick bungalow is in a quiet yet highly convenient location within walking distance of Greystones town centre.
While the property would benefit from modernisation and improvement, any such investment will repay rich lifestyle dividends, thanks to its fundamental underlying strengths. In addition to its setting and location, these include a sunny, south-facing rear aspect and low-maintenance gardens, including a private rear garden that is not overlooked with a spacious, raised timber sun deck.
From the front driveway, a covered external porch (not included in the property’s floor area) connects to the front door opening into the entrance hall. This leads on to a spacious living room overlooking the front garden, three good-sized bedrooms (one ensuite), a family bathroom and an open plan kitchen/dining room to the rear.
The original house has been enhanced by the addition of a well-executed pitched-roof extension in the form of a sunroom, accessed from the kitchen-dining room. This bright and airy space in turn leads, via a sliding glass door, on to the sundeck, which makes the most of that sunny rear aspect.
With a total floor area of just under 1,000 square feet, there is potential to further increase this by extending out to the rear.
This property is an ideal choice as a starter home, for singletons and downsizers alike. Call us today to arrange a viewing.
