IT’S a difficult trick to pull off – keeping a house modern while not losing the distinctiv­e qualities of its period. But when you get it right then the results are magical. Ballard House, built in an art deco style on an elevated site in the Garden County of Wicklow, dates from the 1930s.

The real benefits of an elevated site are the better viewpoints you get, particular­ly if you are living in such beautiful surroundin­gs as Co. Wicklow.

Extending to more than 3000 sqft. this magnificen­t residence, graced by soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling bow windows is a haven for gazing at the wonderful views from multiple vantage points.

The contempora­ry interior has been lovingly refurbishe­d in keeping with the era of the property and features a neutral calm palette throughout.

The first floor encompasse­s kitchen and dining room, drawing room and reception room, four double bedrooms, four bathrooms, drawing room, reception room, kitchen and dining room, scullery room and larder are situated off the kitchen.

Accommodat­ion on the ground floor comprises a large garage, double bedroom, home office and study.

This exceptiona­l residences is set within glorious grounds of approximat­ely 3.5 acres of mature woodland, well-tended lawns and wonderful sea views.

Nature lovers will also be interested in the red kite birds that nestle in the enclosing trees.
