Architect designed house in an idyllic setting with spectacular views.
Wingfield House has some of the most spectacular views in Ireland. It is positioned
overlooking the sea, where the view stretches from Howth to Arklow.
This is an architecturally designed house, an adaptation of an original farmhouse
which was extended and refurbished to simultaneously take advantage of the
private, secluded location, and to capture the breathtaking scenic views. It was
designed by Padraig Smith Partnership Architects, and every detail was thought of
in this property in its design and layout.
Wingfield is entered through wrought iron electric gates, leading to a private
avenue which passes through the land on both sides, and leads to the house in its
spectacular setting. The light-filled property is nestled away, sheltered by mature
trees and surrounded by lawns and gardens.
LocationWingfield House is located just outside Wicklow Town to the South, overlooking the
sea and Wicklow Lighthouse with the most spectacular views. Co. Wicklow, known
as the Garden of Ireland, boasts unspoilt countryside with mountains, upland lakes,
steep sided glacial valleys, forests, farmlands together with a rugged coastline and
pristine beaches, and five minutes from Blue Flag Brittas Bay.
Wingfield is located within 3 km of Wicklow Town, a bustling harbour town a mere
38km from Dublin City Centre and 62km from Dublin Airport. Ample boutique,
restaurants and entertainment amenities are on offer between Wicklow and Dublin,
including in southern Dublin suburbs (Bray, Dundrum, Dún Laoghaire, Blackrock) all
within less than half an hour’s drive. Wingfield House has access to the M11 motorway
(3 km away), which connects directly to Dublin City (38km) and south towards
Rosslare Port (109 km).
The Garden of Ireland shows off Ireland’s natural beauty at its best, much of which
is on Wingfield House’s doorstep. From rustic forest, mountain or coastal trails
and cycle routes to stately homes with manicured gardens open to the public,
there is something for everyone’s taste. Golfing enthusiasts will find a number of
championship golf courses within a 5 to 15 minute drive, including Druids Glen, The
European Golf Club, Powerscourt, and Blainroe Golf Club.
The beaches, harbour, and inland waterways along the east coast offer a wide
variety of fishing, boating, swimming, surfing and sailing activities - all within a 15
minute drive. Equestrian enthusiasts are also very well catered for with numerous
showjumping, polo, and cross-country stables nearby, and larger events throughout
the year, including the local Wicklow and Bray Hunts which meet weekly during the
season.
