A stunning five-bedroom dormer bungalow in south Wicklow with stables and an equestrian arena has come to the market at €630,000.

Set back from the Rathdrum to Greenane road on a generous one-acre plot, ‘Ballyteigue Lodge’ features a three-berth stable block and an equestrian arena, allowing equine enthusiasts to indulge their passion right on their doorstep.

Enveloped by views of rolling hills and lush forestry, the charming dormer bungalow boasts five well-appointed bedrooms and four bathrooms (three of which are en suite), with the interior of the 267 m² home seamlessly blending traditional charm with modern amenities, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

A generous living room to the front of the C2 energy-rated home has magnificent countryside views, an open brick fireplace, a solid fuel stove with a back boiler and double glass-panelled doors opening to the dining room.

The country-style kitchen to the rear of the property has a tiled floor and is fitted with low-level storage cabinets and ample worktop space.

Boasting an open brick fireplace with timber mantle, tiled hearth, decorative coving and ceiling rose, the dining room has double glass panelled doors leading to the living room and the rear garden.

A huge master bedroom on the first floor includes built-in wardrobes and access to the en suite and a sewing room, which could be converted into a walk-in wardrobe.

On the top floor, an attic space that would suit many purposes is currently furnished as a games room/lounge, with polished tongue and groove flooring throughout.

There is a kitchenette area with a breakfast bar, stainless steel sink and additional eaves storage, with the space flooded with natural light via four Velux windows and four dormer windows.

Outside, a gated entrance leads to the wraparound driveway and mature planting and trees. There is a large lawn to the front, while the rear of the property is bordered by forestry.

“For the equestrian enthusiasts, Ballyteigue Lodge represents a dream opportunity,” property agent Sherry Fitzgerald noted.

“Nestled within the picturesque countryside, this five-bedroom dormer bungalow offers a lifestyle of peaceful seclusion and natural beauty.

“Situated on a generous one-acre plot, with the added bonus of stables and an equestrian arena, this property is a haven for those who cherish both equine pursuits and the great outdoors.

“Here, amidst the gentle rustle of leaves and the melodic chorus of birds, you'll find solace and serenity like never before.”
