Superb Brittas Bay Bolthole

Located just 0.5 miles from the expansive sandy shores of Brittas Bay, which is backed by dunes and grassy hills, this charming three-bedroom cottage is an excellent choice for a tranquil coastal break in County Wicklow. You'll be close to town centre amenities while benefiting from a quiet location, with plenty of attractions and outdoor activities to explore. Nautical-themed ornaments fill the bright and airy two-storey property, with a wood burner and garden.

Step inside and make yourself at home in the sophisticated and lovingly decorated lounge with neutral-toned walls, a splash of colourful accents in the furniture and an exposed brick fireplace with a wood burner. Continue into the airy kitchen/diner to find glass patio doors which let the fresh air in while you dine at the central wooden dining table or cook a meal in the 'U'-shaped kitchen area. Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom and twin bedroom. Climb the stairs to reach two more bedrooms – an en-suite double and a twin room. Outside is an enclosed lawned garden surrounded by hedges and fencing with a patio and furniture.

Start your day with a dip in the sea at the expansive Brittas Bay Beach (less than 0.5 miles). Stroll along the shore towards Potters Point Beach (3 miles) to reach a couple of local cafes, tennis courts and a basketball court. Explore the nearby Ballymoyle Forest walking trails (5 miles) and the National Botanic Gardens of Kilmacurragh (6.5 miles). Get competitive with a day of golf at the nearby club (2 miles) or get your adrenaline pumping with a treetop walk in Avondale (11 miles).
