They are effortlessly sophisticated, timeless in design, and perfectly suited to modern living. Set in the heart of the Liffey Valley, where the river begins its descent from the Wicklow Mountains, the houses are surrounded by terraced gardens framed by Scots pine. The gardens are a harmonious blend of sweeping lawns, one of which was once a regular croquet lawn, alongside practical parking areas, all framed by traditional dry-stone walls. Stone patio circles and granite steps, crafted from locally sourced stones, add character and a sense of history, seamlessly integrating the landscape with the architecture. A magnificent lime tree stretches its broad canopy between the two buildings, offering a natural connection that unites the architecture and softens the landscape. Full-height glazing, terraces, mezzanines, and bridges dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a seamless dialogue with nature. A truly exceptional opportunity in one of Wicklow’s most inspiring settings, certain to captivate discerning buyers. Early viewing is strongly advised.
