Located two kilometres from Enniskerry on half an acre of mature gardens with patio area, it exudes charm andcharacter. From the front this looks like a small cottage, but thanks to a well-planned extension, this home is surprisingly spacious. The renovation was done 16 years ago using Wicklow granite. It ties in wonderfully with the original cottage and sits beautifully in the surrounding countryside.

On entering through the arched front door you find yourself in a large living room.

The natural tongue-andgroove floor, high-angled ceiling and french doors and windows are perfectly in keeping with the cottage feel. A multi-fuel stove provides a focal point and also heats the entire property. In the kitchen is the must-have Belfast sink teamed with pine units and not one but two open fires.

A staircase leads from here up to the landing with Velux window to make the most of natural light. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, one of which has French double doors opening out onto a large verandah.

There is also a bathroom with walk-in shower. At the rear of the property on the ground floor is another living room with kitchenette. Also on this level is the third bedroom which is en-suite.

Again the character of the property has been allowed to shine through with an exposed granite wall.

With plenty of off-street parking and a bus stop right outside the door, going to the Dart and Dublin city, Bellamont Cottage offers the best of country living with the convenience of city life.
