Villa Maria, Callowhill Upper, Newtownmountkennedy, Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow, A63KX83

Fenelon Properties are delighted to present Villa Maria to the market. Villa Maria sits in a prime location at the crest of Callow Hill on a mature private site in the Wicklow mountains between the villages of Roundwood and Newtownmountkennedy, both within a 10-minute drive. From its elevated position the front windows, front garden and driveway of the house present uninterrupted sea views. The house is a 5-minute walk from the state forest at Callow Hill. The same couple has happily lived here for 35 years, and, having reared their children in this idyllic setting, are ready to move on and allow someone else the same opportunity. Spanning 205 sq.m. (2,220 sq.ft.) over two floors, the home features spacious rooms and bright, airy interiors. The accommodation includes a welcoming hallway with understairs storage, a downstairs WC, a study, and a large, bright open-plan living and dining room with a wood burning stove, picture windows offering lovely views and access to the rear garden. Off the hallway, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, complete with slate worktop, and full view of the rear garden, with a separate utility room and storage area. Beyond the utility lies a generous family room with another large picture window, again presenting exceptional sea views. Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including one en-suite which has recently been renovated to a high standard, along with a recently updated main bathroom. Additional under eaves storage space is also available on this level. Villa Maria has clearly been a well-maintained and cherished home, evident in the quality and attention to detail throughout. Set on approximately 2.68 acres of land, much of which is planted with trees, this home benefits from complete privacy offering significant appeal to the new residents. The village of Newtownmountkennedy provides excellent transport links, the L1 bus connecting to Bray via Greystones, while the 133 bus connects the village to Dublin City Centre in one direction and to Wicklow town in the other. Both Roundwood and Newtownmountkennedy villages have primary schools, while the secondary school Coláiste Chraobh Abhann is a 12-minute drive away in the village of Kilcoole. The town of Greystones, served by the DART, is a 15-minute drive away, while the beaches of Newcastle (13 minutes) and Brittas Bay (25 minutes) are readily accessible. There are numerous hiking trails in the area and Glendalough is also within 25 minutes. Villa Maria is a large, well-kept home, within commuting distance of Dublin City Centre, that is, at the same time, a countryside escape. It is close to urban amenties and transport links while affording a rural lifestyle in its’ immediate surrounds. It provides a very rare opportunity to offer its’ owner the best of both worlds.
