Co Wicklow: €1.1mDouglas Newman Good is seeking €1.1 million by private treaty for an attractive 1930s bungalow which has just come on the market on Putland Road in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Called Baymount, the three-bedroom house (which comes with a 135ft back garden) will appeal to affluent families trading up from estate houses in the area, although it would also be a good buy for empty nesters who want a more manageable home that still has a decent garden.

It's at the lower end of Putland Road, close to the junction with Sidmonton and about 300 meters from the seafront.

The detached house has been renovated in a light, modern style while holding onto its original features such as original fireplaces, and simple cornicework.

Ceilings, which are almost 10ft high throughout the ground floor, increase the sense of space while the flexible layout will suit both families and couples who like to entertain.

A wide corridor runs through the house, with the livingroom and the main bedroom leading off on either side. Both of these have bay windows to the front.

The 24ft kitchen runs across the back of the house and has French doors opening onto a deck overlooking the well maintained back garden.

There are two further bedrooms downstairs along with a pretty bathroom with antique fittings.

Upstairs there is a fourth bedroom and a bathroom leading off a well-lit landing.

Plenty of off-street parking completes the package of what is likely to be a popular property on view this weekend.

Brian Dempsey who is handling the sale at DNG in Bray says that business has definitely picked up in the neighbourhood since the Government announcement on stamp duty.

"Last week we started getting offers on property that had been quiet for weeks, even months, and it is busier again this week."
