Three-bedroom home in Co Wicklow occupies ground floor of Victorian property and has its own landscaped gardens
was having its heyday after the arrival of the rail link in 1854. The coastal Co Wicklow town, with its new bathing areas, was the place to be seen, fabricated in the image of Brighton. The upper classes migrated there in their droves and built Victorian villas and terraces along the seafront.
Amber, the ground-floor three-bedroom unit within the main house, is now on the market with a guide price of €795,000, selling through Sherry FitzGerald. With a floor area of 160sq m , it is larger than many modern-day houses. The property was completely retrofitted with insulation in the floors, walls and ceiling. An air-to-water heat system was also installed, allowing the temperature to remain constant throughout the home all year round, without costing the earth. The windows were upgraded to double glazing, retaining the original frames.
What would have been the original hall in the main house is now one long kitchen in Amber. The layout was designed to create an ergonomic room that would enhance accessibility and efficiency. There is enough storage in the dark units built by Black and White Craftsmen to keep the marble worktops free from clutter. The fridge is integrated in undercounter drawers rather than breaking the clean line in the room, leaving the walls clear to display art.
When the main house was divided, so too was the surrounding seven acres. Amber sits on a third of an acre, which is split up into three separate gardens.
