Another million-euro-plus 19th century cottage currently on the market on the east coast is Moonacre, in north Wicklow. Built in 1890, its three patios command views of Greystones Golf Club and the sea from its elevated site.

The 2,841-sq ft home in Killincarr­ig, Greystones, was restored and upgraded over the past 22 years. Off its entrance porch, which has a vaulted ceiling and the original mosaic floor tiles, is a guest lavatory with the original Dockrell wash-basin.

The split-level entrance hall has original timber flooring and leads to a drawing room, with a bay window overlookin­g the front garden, and a sitting room. Both have solid fuel stoves. The vendors converted the original snug and dining room into a large master en-suite with a dressing room and its own conservato­ry.

They also extended and further insulated the property in 2010 and designed an openplan kitchen/breakfast room that makes the most of the views. There’s also a utility room.

Off the first-floor landing, which is lit by a skylight, two rooms were amalgamate­d into one bedroom, with the vaulted ceilings and original fireplace retained in the process. Also on this level is a family bathroom and three further double bedrooms, including a dual-aspect bedroom with an en-suite, and a bedroom with sea views.

The period property, which is bordered by mature hedging and fencing and has double entrance gates with stone pillars, is just a

1.6km walk, via a pedestrian pathway through the golf club, to Greystones village, the Dart, and the beach.

Moonacre is on view tomorrow between

3pm and 4pm.
