Co Wicklow: €1.95m Combining architectural and interior design skills, the owners of Willow Lodge, Drummin West, Delgany, Co Wicklow on one acre, have spent the last year extending and upgrading their family home.

The achievement has been a seamless unification of old and new in a light-filled bungalow with many rooms opening to the garden.

The house will be auctioned on June 7th by Sherry FitzGerald with an AMV of €1.95 million.

The detached home is situated above Delgany in a quiet, private lane surrounded by fields, hills and greenery. There is now 306sq m (3,300sq ft) of accommodation comprising four reception rooms, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Pride of place goes to a new open-plan living area with soaring atrium which, with many windows, floods the rooms with light. The elevated livingroom has a sandstone fireplace and patio doors to rear garden.

The diningroom which separates kitchen and livingroom has its table alongside two large windows to the side garden. The kitchen looks out over the front garden and its top-of-the-range cream-painted fittings include pull out wire larder trays, and comprehensive integrated Smeg equipment. A family room nearby has shelving and a door to the garden while a mezzanine above the kitchen/diningroom is used as a TV room/study. A dormer bedroom/sittingroom in this section has an adjoining shower.

Four further ground floor bedrooms lead from the main hall. A main bedroom has doors opening to a rear verandah, while its en suite has a double shower. A second bedroom has its en suite shower room accessible from the main hall, while a third bedroom also has an en suite. The main tiled bathroom has an antique bath. The lawn on either side of the front driveway is fringed by gorse, flowers and shrubs. The rear west-facing garden has an elevated timber decking, its lawn is bounded by trees, bushes and hedgerows with fir-covered hills rising above.
