5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located at the heart of the scenic village of Bray, Hill House is an outstanding family home that combines meticulous design with modern luxury. The property has been thoughtfully finished to create stylish living space, perfect for both sophisticated entertaining and comfortable family life. To meet the demands of a contemporary lifestyle, premium features include a multi-room audio/video system, customisable mood lighting, under-floor heating, and modern fireplaces in the formal reception rooms.

The hub of the house is the comprehensively fitted open-plan kitchen/breakfast room featuring sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry, a central island, and high-end Gaggenau appliances. A wall of bi-folding doors open out to combine indoor and outdoor living areas, a feature that is echoed in the drawing room and family; sliding glass pocket doors connect this room to the family room, thereby offering a versatile, open-concept layout. For large-scale entertaining, the capacious drawing room is equipped with a projector and drop-down cinema, while the sitting room provides a more intimate setting and could be utilised as a study. The ground floor further comprises a formal dining room, a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, a utility room, and a cloakroom.

The first floor is home to the principal suite, featuring an en-suite bathroom and a spacious roof terrace overlooking the gardens. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms, one with its own shower room, and a modern family bathroom complete this level.

The enclosed south-west facing gardens have been creatively designed as a private sanctuary and entertainment hub, featuring tranquil seclusion and year-round visual interest provided by well-stocked beds and borders, along with a diverse array of mature shrubs and architectural trees. An extensive paved sun terrace, precision-laid to provide the ultimate space for alfresco entertaining, is complemented by an extensive, open-fronted outdoor kitchen complete with dining space, situated within one of the converted barns. These high-end conversions are multi-functional and also contain a home office, gym, garage and games room divided by glazed bi-folding doors, and a workshop.

The gardens also feature a quaint rose covered, brick-pillared pergola and, situated to the side of the house, a charming courtyard garden which may be accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room.

The property is accessed via an electrically operated gate and gravelled driveway/parking area. There is also a wrought-iron pedestrian gate that opens into the courtyard garden.
