Woodberry House, a large four bedroom bungalow minutes from the N11 near Coynes Cross, has all the stables a horse-mad family could ask for – a couple of paddocks, six stables and an all-weather arena (40m by 27m) when the weather is too inclement to hack the local routes.
The house, which was built in the 1960s, has been extended several times since then, and now measures about 278sq m (3,000sq ft). The stand-out feature is a living room with views from one window that take in the surrounding mountains. The other picture window looks across rolling fields to the sea. The property also has a sizeable conservatory offering similar views.
Of the four bedrooms, the master comes with a dressing roomcumshower room cum study.
Set on about three acres (currently laid out in two paddocks) there are outhouses, six loose boxes, a stable yard, tack room and the purpose-built all-weather arena.
Woodberry is about 2.5 miles from Ashford village, and a 10-minute drive from Greystones, where a 1,000-pupil secondary school will be completed next year. St Gerard’s co-ed private school in Bray is a 15-minute drive.
The D1 Ber-rated property is on the market through Colliers for €975,00 .
