1 Sugarloaf Drive

Enjoying a wonderfully scenic setting with superb views towards the Great Sugarloaf and surrounding countryside, this spacious three-bedroomed bungalow offers an unusual combination of generous accommodation, flexible living space and a highly convenient location in the popular village of Kilmacanogue.

A particularly appealing feature of the property is its substantial size. Extending to approximately 181.6 square metres, the accommodation is considerably larger than might first be expected from its bungalow appearance, thanks in particular to an extensive attic conversion providing a large additional room with its own ensuite shower room at first floor level.
At the heart of the home is an exceptionally spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, which extends across much of the ground floor. This bright and versatile family living space features a fitted kitchen with extensive cabinetry, timber countertops and a large island unit incorporating additional storage, worktop space and sink.

The kitchen is finished in an attractive muted blue-green colour scheme and combines particularly well with the natural tones of the extensive slate flooring, which continues throughout this impressive open-plan space. A wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point, while numerous windows and glazed exterior doors introduce an abundance of natural light.
The sheer scale of this room allows for clearly defined kitchen, dining and living areas while retaining an open and sociable feel, making it equally well suited to day-to-day family life and entertaining. A staircase within the room leads to the converted attic overhead.
The kitchen/living area connects through double doors to a spacious entrance hall, which is itself large enough to accommodate additional furniture and provides access to all three ground-floor bedrooms and the main family bathroom.
Two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front of the house, where large bay windows make the most of the property's elevated outlook and provide wonderful views towards the surrounding Wicklow countryside and the Great Sugarloaf. The main bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite shower room.
The third bedroom is also accessed from the entrance hall, while the main family bathroom, likewise located off the hall, is generously proportioned and fitted with both a corner bath and separate walk-in shower.
Further ground-floor accommodation includes an additional shower room and a bright sun room overlooking the garden. Surrounded by windows, this latter space provides a pleasant connection between house and garden and offers excellent flexibility for use as a relaxation area, home office, playroom or other purpose.

Upstairs, the extensive attic conversion is a major feature of the property. Running to almost 13 metres in length, this exceptionally large and versatile space is flooded with natural light from several roof windows and incorporates a sink, storage and its own ensuite shower room. It offers considerable scope for a wide variety of uses, such as a home office, studio, games room, hobby space or additional living accommodation, subject to the appropriate planning and building regulations.

The property also benefits from a number of energy-efficiency upgrades, including triple-glazed windows and solar panels with battery storage, helping to enhance comfort while reducing reliance on mains electricity.

Outside, the property is complemented by mature gardens with an abundance of established plants, shrubs and trees. The rear garden includes paved and low-maintenance areas along with an attractive exposed natural rock face, creating a distinctive backdrop and a particularly private feel.
To the front, mature planting enhances the property's sense of privacy, while the elevated position provides the house with one of its standout features – a magnificent outlook across neighbouring countryside towards the Great Sugarloaf, bringing the surrounding Wicklow landscape right to the doorstep.
With its three bedrooms, three bathrooms, exceptionally generous open-plan living accommodation, large attic conversion with ensuite, triple-glazed windows, solar panels with battery storage and scenic setting, 1 Sugarloaf Drive offers an appealing and highly individual home in one of north Wicklow's most recognisable locations.
