luxury house with reception room for sale Bray, Ireland

A Distinguished Residence in an Exceptional Killiney Setting Instantly appealing and steeped in period character, Avondale is a magnificent detached Victorian residence dating from circa 1860, discreetly positioned on a private avenue just off Seafield Road in one of Killiney’s most coveted residential enclaves. Originally forming part of the stables and ancillary buildings of the neighbouring Avonmore Hall, this remarkable residence has been completely transformed into an elegant and exceptionally comfortable family home. The renovation has been thoughtfully executed, preserving a wealth of original architectural detail while introducing the scale, finish and convenience demanded by modern family life. Extending to approximately 308 sq. m. (3,315 sq. ft.), the accommodation is beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, arranged over two levels with an effortless sense of flow. The house occupies approximately 0.4 acre of mature, secluded south-westerly gardens, creating an unusually private and tranquil setting so close to the coast. A generous reception hall/library sets the tone, offering a gracious welcome to the house and flowing seamlessly through to a stunning family room, complemented by a shower room and a well-appointed utility room. The drawing room is an impressive and light-filled space, characterised by generous proportions and an abundance of natural light. From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the dining room and onwards to the superb kitchen/breakfast room. Designed as the heart of the home, the bespoke kitchen combines high-quality finishes with exceptional practicality and opens directly onto a sun-filled decked terrace – ideal for ‘al fresco’ dining. Beyond lies the mature garden, creating a seamless connection between the principal living spaces and the outdoors — an idyllic arrangement for both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining. Upstairs, four double bedrooms provide generous private accommodation. Three benefits from en suite facilities, while a well-appointed Jack and Jill family bathroom serves the remaining bedroom. There is also a large home office adding to the dynamic of this incredible property. Throughout, the house strikes a particularly appealing balance between the elegance of its Victorian origins and the comfort and functionality of a thoroughly considered contemporary family home. Approached through handsome granite-pillared electric gates, a tree-lined gravel driveway provides a suitably private and impressive arrival, leading to extensive secure off-street parking. The gardens extend to approximately 0.4 acre and enjoy a wonderful south-westerly orientation, capturing sunlight throughout much of the day. Expansive lawns are framed by mature specimen trees, established herbaceous borders and high enclosing hedging, creating a series of wonderfully private and secluded outdoor spaces. There is a timeless quality to the setting, with mature planting and established trees providing an exceptional sense of permanence and privacy.
