Co Wicklow: €675,000A three-bedroom 1930s detached bungalow set in pretty tree-lined gardens at Quill Road, Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow is for sale through Sherry FitzGerald by private treaty with an asking price of €675,000.
With a floor area of 150sq m (1,620sq ft), the house needs some modernisation and there is room to extend subject to planning permission.
A glassed-in porch with tiled floor leads to the hall door and an L-shaped corridor. Immediately to the right there is a large, attractive sittingroom with polished wooden floorboards, windows on three sides, a door to the garden, a simple fireplace and a soft cream palette. Much charm is added by the different views of the garden through the windows.
To the left of the hall, the corridor leads through the house with a study, kitchen/breakfastroom and bedrooms opening off both sides. The corridor branches out into a wide landing with the large main bedroom and a family bathroom off this. The kitchen/breakfastroom has built-in units in one section and the breakfast area in the other.
There is also a roomy garage which at present is used as a utility and store room.
The study, which could be used as a fourth bedroom, is a fine square room looking out to the front of the house and, of the three bedrooms, two are big doubles, while the third is a generous single.
New owners might want to change the use of some of the rooms, but the layout has a pleasing flow and with some refurbishment would make a very comfortable contemporary family home.
Outside, there is parking for three cars, and the gardens are divided into several areas, including an enclosed garden off the main bedroom which has sliding doors onto it. There is also a door from the garage into this, while a short flight of steps leads up to a wrought iron gate and a raised patio with lily pond to the side of the house. At the other end off the livingroom is a large triangular lawn with seating area under trees at the back. Quill Road is off the N11 just over the Kilmacanoge flyover and left before the village, but it gives the impression of being in the country with houses well spaced and set back among old trees and gardens.
