IF OWNING A period property in a seaside town is on your wish list, then take a look at Overdene. This 190 m² home in the centre of Wicklow Town dates to 1913 and is laid out over two levels. With modern touches in tow, it has kept its original features, so is still charming and full of character.
It’s now on the market for €1,350,000 and offers a chance to live in a friendly community while being commutable from Dublin for anyone who split work up between home and the city.
Inside, you can expect a host of bright rooms thanks to the large bay windows. The kitchen, living and dining room all share one large open plan space at the front of the house. Spanning the length of the house, there are doors to the back that lead to the back patio and landscaped garden.
The kitchen is well kitted out with integrated appliances, plenty of storage, a double sink and brass tap. Off the kitchen, is a utility room with quartz countertops and washer and dryer already installed.
The living area and the drawing room are laid in solid oak flooring and have decorative centre roses along with fireplaces with stoves inset.
One of the four bedrooms, a guest bedroom is also located on the ground floor. The room has a high ceiling with coving and a decorative centre rose with a feature chandelier.
A shower room beside this room gives extra privacy to guests and includes a double waterfall shower and a vanity unit.
The main bedroom, the home office and three more bedrooms sit on the floor above. The largest bedroom has built-in wardrobes and its own bathroom while the others share the family bathroom.
A sauna on the first floor return adds a touch of luxury to the house, too – ideal to relax in after a swim in the sea.
Even though, Overdene is on the centre of the town, it’s surrounded by stone walls with a granite pillared entrance and timber electric gates, so it’s exceptionally private. There is parking for up to ten cars and Indian sand stone steps lead up to the front door.
To the back, the garden faces south, so gets great sunshine throughout the day. A patio and a BBQ area ensure it’s a great place to host guests during the summer months.
Wicklow Town itself is a colourful and vibrant town that’s well-serviced by shops, restaurants, a new library and a train station, which will get you to Dublin Pearse in over an hour.
There are a lot of new developments popping up in the area, but if you have the money and always pictured yourself in a historic home, Overdene could be the place.
