Bray/€2.5m: Sheltering on over an acre of mature gardens, Las Ocas, 5 Wingfield, Hollybrook, Bray, Co Wicklow, is a large detached home which has recently undergone complete refurbishment. The five-bedroom house will be auctioned on September 20th by Lisney with an AMV of €2.5m.
Set in a quiet leafy cul-de-sac just seconds away from the N11, Las Ocas is unrecognisable from its 1970 origins with extensions giving it a generous 333sq m(3,580sq ft) of living space. There are new floors, staircase, ceilings and a new roof.
Four ground floor reception rooms flow into each other while the five bedrooms upstairs share three bathrooms. The large entrance hall is tiled in Italian marble and has a teak fireplace. Its rear glazed doors open into the diningroom, also tiled in marble, and beyond through patio doors to the garden.
A large family room has a walnut floor and modern fireplace with timber mantel. Glazed doors open into the main sittingroom which spans the width of the house, giving front and rear views with doors to garden decking. A wood-burning stove and timber-beamed ceiling give a warm feeling to this lofty space. A fourth reception room currently used as a games room has side doors to a courtyard .
With marble floor, central island, and gleaming equipment, the kitchen is large and modern. Cream painted cupboards topped in black granite include a carousel and pull-out larder trays. There is an adjoining utility.
A teak staircase climbs to the first floor landing lit by stained glass rooflights. The guest wing comprises a bedroom, dressingroom and tiled en suite. The main very bright en suite bedroom also has a dressingroom. There are three further bedrooms.
At the rear, there is cedar decking on two levels with a view below of lawns and mature trees offering complete privacy. The property is bounded by its own stream.
