'The Nest': A property with breathtaking views of Wicklow Mountains

James Cox

Located near Grangecon Village in Co Wicklow, The Nest combines character, craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury.

Sitting on over half an acre of landscaped grounds this property offers breathtaking views of the Wicklow Mountains and surrounding countryside. Originally a traditional country house, this property has undergone a high-end renovation, while retaining its classic cut stone exterior and steep slate roof.

A custom entrance hall featuring traditional chequered tiles and wall panelling leads into a stunning vaulted living room. With a ceiling height exceeding four metres and triple aspect glazing, the room is bathed in natural light. A solid fuel stove and wide board oak flooring create a warm atmosphere that balances the sense of scale. This open plan space connects directly to a sunlit rear patio, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the views.

At the heart of the home is a custom designed kitchen, hand crafted and finished to the highest standard, featuring a large island with a breakfast bar, quartz countertops, and integrated appliances including a wine fridge. A discreet utility room, a fitted boot room with rear access, and a guest WC all contribute to the downstairs design and functionality of the space.

The ground floor also features a luxurious master suite, located to the rear of the house, including a treble aspect bedroom, a fully fitted walk in wardrobe, and a beautifully finished ensuite with underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, and twin gable windows that bring in light throughout the day.

Upstairs, two large double bedrooms offer space and comfort, both benefitting from vaulted ceilings and generous proportions. The main bathroom serves this level and is particularly noteworthy for its design and finish, featuring a freestanding bath, walk in rain shower, and bespoke vanity unit beneath two skylights.

The outdoor space has been designed to match the quality of the interior. A tiled courtyard at the rear leads to a raised patio, currently home to a hot tub, with granite cobble detailing and cut stone retaining walls. The elevated lawn is surrounded by mature hedging and offers uninterrupted countryside views, while a secure concrete garage at the edge of the site provides storage and the potential for a rooftop terrace.

This beautifully crafted home strikes a perfect balance between countryside charm and modern living. With its peaceful setting, thoughtful design, and convenient location, The Nest offers a lifestyle that is both relaxed and refined.
