Dating from 1868, Toner House is an historic building steeped in local history enjoying a wonderful setting adjacent to the picturesque Sidmonton Park and set back 350m from the renowned Victorian Promenade. Used as a former French School for a century, in recent decades the building was converted into apartments yet retained all the characteristics of the 19th Century. No. 8 is a naturally bright two-bedroom second floor (top floor) apartment commanding a unique vantage point with pleasant views towards Bray Head and the sea. All period features have been sensitively preserved to include 10ft high ceilings, decorative ceiling coving, centre rose, sash windows, and fireplace.

Entering Toner House, beyond the handsome redbrick façade, one is immediately drawn to the detailed plasterwork, dado rail, and a Gothic archway that are present. The communal hallway is meticulously maintained, and the second floor can be accessed via a stairs or lift. Passing through the front door of No. 8, the hall comprises floorboards and 10ft high ceilings which are a recurring theme throughout. Immediately to the left there is a shower room and directly ahead, two bedrooms, one double and one single. Both bedrooms include sash windows and wardrobes, while the larger of the two has the added benefit of an en-suite bathroom. Returning to the hall, at the end of the corridor, a door opens into an impressive bay windowed living dining room featuring an original fireplace with gas inset and ornate ceiling plasterwork. Three sash windows fill the room with natural light and from the large bay window there are views of the sea, Bray Head, and the brow of the Great Sugarloaf. Adjoining this room there is a galley style kitchen complete with tiled flooring, a range of timber cabinetry, tiled splashback, and integrated appliances include an oven and hob. Externally, there is unallocated surface level parking for residents to avail of.

This buzzing seaside town is located on the southeast coast and on the periphery of the Wicklow Dublin border and offers the discerning purchasers a superb lifestyle with access to a wealth of amenities. Toner House is centrally located, in the immediate vicinity there are local shops, and Bray Town Centre is approx. 500m from the development. In addition, there are a variety of highly regarded schools at primary and secondary level to choose from along with BIFE and crèches. There is no shortage of sporting facilities nearby, including Shoreline Leisure Centre with its swimming pool and gym, County Wicklow lawn tennis club, Bray sailing club, Brennanstown horse riding centre and several reputable Golf Clubs. The renowned Seafront and Promenade is 350m away with its selection of popular ice cream parlours, restaurants, gastro pubs, wine bars, trendy cafes, saunas, and playground, while neighbouring the property is the picturesque Sidmonton Park. For the outdoor enthusiasts there is sea swimming, the famous Bray to Greystones cliff walk and Kilruddery House & Gardens which runs a family-oriented farmers market every weekend. For commuters, the N11/M50 corridor is easily accessible along with Bray Dart Station (5-minute walk) and frequent bus services bringing Bray folk to a host of destinations across the capital. An average Dart journey to Pearse Street takes 45 minutes.
