Description

It's hard to imagine a house for sale in Dublin at the moment with better views than Bramley Hill, located high up on the Hill of Howth on Danesfort Avenue, a private roadway off the Old Carrickbrack Road, a turn off beyond Howth Golf Club. Step through the front door into the limestone-tiled entrance hallway and immediately you are looking out at a spectacular panoramic view south across Dublin Bay towards Dun Laoghaire. On any given day of the year, the vista of sea and sky is magnificent. Bramley Hill was designed by the late David Byers and constructed in the year 2000 with a 'brief' to make the most of the elevated site and maximise the views. The finished product is simply spectacular. The layout is slightly unconventional with the entrance hall and all of the living accommodation at first floor level. Each of the reception rooms has a distinct aspect, from the kitchen / breakfast room to the living dining room via the 30ft long balcony, all angles of the 180-degree vista are beautifully framed. The property is almost perfectly symmetric, at one end of the first-floor accommodation is a large double-aspect reception room with a raised dining area and a solid walnut floor. There's a limestone fireplace and doors leading to balconies on two sides, with steps down to the garden. From here the views stretch to the North Dublin coastline towards Dublin Airport and captures everything in between. At the other end is the spacious handcrafted kitchen / breakfast room with a polished granite central island, this is where the family eat together when not entertaining guests. A spacious playroom/study and a family television room and a wonderful utility room complete the accommodation at hall level. The balcony which runs across the back of the house and connects to two main living spaces is a spot from which it would be hard to tear oneself away on a sunny day. It's ideally situated to host long al fresco lunches that segue seamlessly into a long evening with family and friends. On the floor below there are five bedrooms, four doubles and a single. Two have ensuite bathrooms and there is also a family bathroom. Several of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and the master suite has a walk-in wardrobe. The finishes throughout are high quality and the bathrooms are hotel standard. The site was originally home to the Jameson family, who lived at Danesfort, a substantial period house visible from the front garden of Bramley Hill. There are several terraces dotted around the property positioned to make the most of the southerly aspect and breathtaking views. There is a large double garage with further space in the eaves above. A large section of the grounds were levelled during the construction period to create a large area to one side of the house, now a beautifully manicured lawn surrounded by a wooded area which creates incredible privacy. In total, the gardens extend to a little over an acre with landscaped thoughtfully day one and are now more mature which connects the grounds to the north mountain beyond. Bramley Hill is situated on one of the finest sites on the peninsula with views that are arguably unparalleled with grounds rolling down from the Benn of Howth along the southern slopes of the hill basked in sunshine from morning to night. The Location is both private and convenient in equal measures. There are a selection of excellent schools nearby and a host of superb options for public transport, including the DART, to and from The City Centre or Dublin Airport (both just 17km away). Howth is protected by a special amenity area order which will limit the amount of development available on the hill indefinitely. As such the endless choice of trails around the Cliffs, which are available not far from your door at Bramley Hill will never be interrupted. In addition to the choice of hill walks that residents of Howth and Sutton can enjoy, several of the best beaches anywhere in Dublin and a selection of the finest golf courses in the country are just a few minutes away. Howth is a quaint fishing village high on social amenity, the small harbour is home to busy sailing club, a bundle of excellent fish mongers alongside plethora of top-class restaurants, bars and cafes which are amongst the finest in the country. All in all Bramley Hill presents an opportunity not to be missed. Viewing is strictly by appointment only with Lisney Sotheby's international Realty.
