This home’s in a lovely spot in the heart of the garden of Ireland...

- Paul Kelly

IF you have the time, energy and inclinatio­n, there can be no greater reward in life than the pleasure you get from a garden. With such treasures you reap what you sow throughout the year. For f amily pleasure and leisure, there’s nothing like a good garden –a f eature regrettabl­y missing from too many Celtic Tiger-era shoebox homes.

This home – rather appropriat­ely located in Co. Wicklow, the garden of Ireland – has the bonus of wonderful south and west gardens where the long evenings must be a real delight, especially if last summer is anything to go by.

Summerseat is a modern two- storey home and is a manageable 1,749 sq ft – it has lots of space but not too much.

Sherry FitzGerald say: ‘Summerseat’s accommodat­ion is versatile enough for the needs of a young family or active retired folk wishing to find an easily run home that will take treasured furniture from a larger house.’

With four-bedrooms and a modern interior, the home has much to recommend it and has plenty of scope to be shaped into a style of the buyer’s choice.

ONE key feature of this home is its location in the historic village of Enniskerry, away f rom Dublin but close enough to transport links if you are one of those burdened with a daily commute. It’s is a short walk from the centre of the tourist spot, though.

Sherry FitzGerald say: ‘Local amenities are first class, with a real sense of community. Neighbourh­ood retail ranges from artisan food producers, craft butchers, health and pharmacy, collectabl­es and designer gifts to cosy tea rooms and welcoming eateries. Nearby Avoca Handweaver’s and the pavilion at Powerscour­t provide even more retail therapy.’

So there’s plenty to do – if you find time to tear yourself away from that garden.
