Dating from c. 1884, during the Victorian era, Carlisle Terrace is a small row of three homes along the popular Seymour Road and No. 1 occupies and end of terrace position. Brought to the market in excellent condition, No. 1 has been upgraded to an exceptionally high standard by the current owners in recent years. High specification fixtures and fittings are present throughout and the attention to detail put into the design and layout is first class. There is a wonderful balance between contemporary finishes, bespoke carpentry and original features and the stylish interior is enhanced with a return element to the rear along with a thoughtfully planned attic conversion. The modern interior accompanied with the highly convenient location make this a unique characterful period home.

Beyond the attractive bay windowed façade, the bright accommodation is deceptively large, laid out over three levels measuring 130 sq. m / 1,399 sq. ft approx. The inviting entrance hall comprises a 10ft high ceiling with coving and ceiling rose, custom-made cloaks storage unit, wall panelling, and reclaimed wood floorboards which are a recurring theme at ground floor level. The living room sits to the left of the hall, similarly, featuring decorative ceiling plasterwork along with bespoke shelving units either side of a feature open fireplace. An opening from here leads through to the dining room, it is worth noting that pocket doors can be installed to separate the two rooms if desired. Off the dining room there is a W.C beneath the stairs and two steps down lead to the fabulous kitchen which is located on the ground floor return. Here, a lengthy island with quartz worktop takes centre stage while a range of handcrafted units span the width of the wall, and integrated appliances include a traditional style snug oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge freezer. Bi-fold doors open to the rear garden, this is a wonderful feature integrating both the interior and exterior, particularly in the warmer months.

Rising upstairs, the family bathroom is positioned on the first-floor return. Keeping in line with the character, the bathroom incorporates a traditional W.C and freestanding claw footed bath, a his and hers sink with a painted brick splashback, original floorboards, and a large press caters for storage. On the first floor itself, there are three bedrooms, two double and one single, with all three containing original floorboards, ornate ceiling plasterwork, and wardrobes. The impressive principal bedroom sits to the front and from the bay window there is a pleasant outlook over the Carlisle grounds with the sea in the background. From the landing, a second stairs leads up to the attic room which was cleverly converted and a new roof added in 2021. This room with its adjoining utility press is a wonderful addition that can be used for a variety of purposes. Commanding a unique vantage point, there is a clear view over the Carlisle grounds which is home to Bray Wanderers, southerly to Bray Head, and Northerly to Killiney Bay, Dalkey Island, and Howth.

Externally, parking is on street, and a front courtyard separates the hall door from the pathway. It is worth mentioning that parking permits are available for purchase through the local authority. The private rear garden can be accessed from the kitchen or via a rear pedestrian gate. Due west, the low maintenance garden contains timber decking and wall panelling while artificial leaf trellising and vibrant plants provide a sense of colour and flair.

Centrally positioned in Bray, the location of Carlisle Terrace could hardly be more convenient. Within 250m of the Harbour and its famous bar, leisurely walks can be enjoyed along the renowned Victorian Promenade with its selection of restaurants, gastro bars, and ice cream parlours. 350m in the opposite direction is the bottom of Bray Main Street offering a range of shops, eateries, and the Florentine Centre. There are several schools at primary and secondary level within comfortable walking distance while commuters have plenty of choice. The Dart station is within 350m, along with frequent bus services, and the Luas at Cherrywood is a short commute by private transport. In addition, the N11/M11/M50 corridor can be accessed in a matter of minutes.

Bray is known as the Gateway to the Garden of Ireland, and is the longest established seaside town in the country. It is only 19km (12 miles) south of Dublin City and is easily reached by DART, Train, Bus or the N11 road. There is an attractive beach and a spacious esplanade. The scenic Cliff Walk on the eastern side of Bray Head, which continues, into Greystones offers walkers a feast of views on the way.

The town boasts fine period housing, shops, restaurants and evening entertainment. Also available in the immediate locality are golf courses, tennis, fishing, sailing, and horse riding. Another feature of Bray is the variety of amusement centres and carnival attractions, bowling alley, and nightclubs. It really is a stand-alone town with the additional advantage of being on the doorstep of Dublin.
