A FIVE-BEDROOM house with direct access to the beach at Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, has been sold by agent Knight Frank. The asking price of Rockfield cottage, Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, was €2.3 million. The agent cannot reveal the selling price because of data protection legislation.

The property sold by private treaty within a few months of coming on the market. The sale was relatively quick in the current market, especially for a house looking for over €2m – and seems to confirm agents’ reports that the summer market turned out to be unexpectedly busy. The 395sq m (4,251sq ft) has extensive views of the sea from floor-to-ceiling windows. Accommodation comprises a sittingroom, diningroom, playroom kitchen/breakfastroom and five en suite bedrooms.
