Dooley Auctioneers are delighted to present Melnibone, a charming and character-filled detached three-bedroom home ideally positioned on the periphery of Bray. Extending to 79 sq. m (850 sq. ft), this beautifully upgraded residence seamlessly blends period elegance with tasteful modernisation, making it a rare find for discerning buyers seeking both comfort and style.

Originally built circa 1903, Melnibone has undergone significant upgrades in recent years while retaining many of its original architectural features.

Ultra-fast 1Gbps fibre broadband is available, making this property perfect for remote workers or digital creatives.

Set behind beautiful Indian Limestone paving and low-maintenance artificial grass, the landscaped front garden is both private and practical. A mature Contorted Willow tree adds character and natural charm to the outdoor space. With all these thoughtful upgrades, Melnibone represents a turn-key opportunity to acquire a unique home in one of North Wicklow’s most desirable locations.
