Description
Hillbrook - A hidden jewel between the Mountains and the Sea.
Tucked away along the enchanting Ballywaltrim Lane, a hidden jewel where a lush, tree-lined canopy forms a breathtaking green tunnel, Hillbrook offers an unparalleled lifestyle that perfectly balances a serene rural setting with exceptional modern infrastructure. Set on approximately one acre of secluded, mature gardens inspired by the world-renowned Mount Usher Gardens, this charming c.1952 detached residence (approx. 210 sq.m) is a private sanctuary. The south-facing family home is filled with warmth and character, featuring four to five well-proportioned bedrooms, a spectacular main suite with a walk-in dressing room, and versatile living spaces. At its heart sits a light filled living and dining room warmed by a solid fuel stove, alongside a remarkably spacious kitchen and breakfast room that captures the evening west-facing sun. This beautiful culinary space opens seamlessly onto an expansive decked area, creating an idyllic backdrop for al fresco entertaining overlooking a spectacular, tree-lined valley and the babbling brook that runs through the bottom of the garden. A sunroom/utility room and a large integral garage complete this inviting property.
While the setting feels worlds apart from the hustle and bustle, Hillbrook boasts an enviable location bolstered by exceptional connectivity and infrastructure. Positioned just off the Killarney Road, residents enjoy effortless access to the N11 and M50 corridor, making commutes to Dublin City Centre, North Wicklow, and beyond incredibly straightforward. The property is exceptionally well-serviced by an array of public transport options, including direct Dublin Bus routes (E1 to the City Centre and Santry, L12, and L14 linking directly to the Bray DART station and Cherrywood LUAS line), regular Finnegans services, and the 131 route to Wicklow. Daily convenience is right on your doorstep, with a local post office, Shoreline Leisure Centre, and major supermarkets including Pettitt's SuperValu, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, and Centra all within easy walking distance, while the vibrant heart of Bray town sits just 3 km away.
For growing families, Hillbrook's position is further elevated by its proximity to an outstanding selection of highly regarded educational institutions. Bray and its surrounding areas offer a wealth of choice for both primary and secondary schooling, alongside excellent crèches and early childhood facilities, ensuring top-tier education is always within minutes of home. When the school and work weeks end, the unique geography of this location truly shines. Positioned beautifully between the dramatic peaks of the Wicklow Mountains and the popular Victorian Bray Promenade & Seafront, the home offers an outdoor lifestyle few properties can match. From weekend strolls through the historic Killruddery House & Gardens and Belmont Demesne, to bracing hikes along the famous Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk, Bray Head, or the nearby Powerscourt Estate, Hillbrook represents a rare opportunity to secure a magnificent family home where rural beauty, educational excellence, and urban convenience live in perfect harmony.
