The property is located on one of the most established and exclusive residential addresses in the Bray area, with virtually all amenities within walking distance of the subject lands, including the extensive shopping and leisure facilities Bray has to offer. Bray Dart station is also within walking distance, providing quick and easy access to Dublin city centre.

Bray is due to experience substantial rejuvenation in the forthcoming years with the heart of the retail area enjoying enormous transformation with the arrival of the Florentine Centre, a seven story 100,000 sq ft shopping centre, probably the most significant step in the development of the town’s retail landscape to date. Currently at the planning stage is another proposed development - a E2.2 billion commercial and residential program planned for Bray Golf Course on the north side of the town.

Both these schemes will completely transform the locality, and are anticipated to have a similar effect as the Dundrum Town Centre has had on residential values in the entire Dundrum area.
