Modern Delgany home on elevated site with mountain and sea views for €2.1m
Address : Rockfalls House, Kindlestown Upper, Delgany, Co Wicklow Price : €2,100,000 Agent : DNG View this property on On its website, Fergus Flanagan Architects says it has created 'a unique house for a unique site' for Rockfalls House in Kindlestown Upper in Delgany , Co Wicklow . As it had what the company terms 'an elevated site with magnificent views of both the countryside and sea', the architect decided to create an upside-down design whereby all living spaces are on the top floor with bedrooms and services on the floor below. Furthermore, its Ber of A2 was achieved with the use of a passive slab foundation, a heat pump, triple-glazed windows and solar panels 'to create a warm building envelope that requires minimum energy to heat and maintain'. Completed in 2018, the substantial 280sqm (3,013sq ft) property lies on a generous 0.6-acre site taking full advantage of its elevated position within a small private enclave off Chapel Road near the popular Wicklow village, situated about 25km south of Dublin city centre. The main entrance lies to the rear – allowing views to remain uninterrupted – and leads into what can be described as a Selling Sunset-type house; it's a super-luxe contemporary home designed to maximise views with large expanses of glazing, as seen on the LA-based Netflix reality show. With south-facing sea views across the Delgany and Greystones countryside and over the Wicklow coastline, there's exceptional natural light thanks to the vast use of glazing. READ MORE The property lies in on a 0.6 acre site Front entrance Kitchen Kitchen view Livingroom Second living area Essentially, it's all floor-to-ceiling glass – with the exception of structural supports required to hold the glazing – while more light floods through overhead rooflights. The reception rooms run into one another, allowing a great flow between the spaces: an open-plan area encompasses a well-appointed kitchen with a central island, breakfast bar and premium appliances, which is served by a utility and separate laundry room – which is one of two in the property. A spacious living/dining area lies adjacent, followed by a second reception room (currently used as a home office). This entire space opens out on to a decked terrace – which considerably enhances the living space – as well as giving marvellous views and a place to sip a digestif and watch the sun set. There's also a private study tucked away to the front and a playroom on this floor, while a staircase leads to the ground floor where five generous bedrooms lie. Set into a stone-clad wall with a glass balustrade frame, the stairway appears to float between floors creating a central feature within the property. Downstairs is a bit of a treat and where the house is equally as impressive, as all the bedrooms open out to the garden and terraces through large sliding doors. Bookended by two principal suites, both of which have walk-in wardrobes and en suites, the three other bedrooms are served by a generous family bathroom and additional loo. For convenience, a second laundry room lies adjacent to a store room and plant room on this floor. A feature staircase separates the floors All five bedrooms have terraces Dining space on the terrace Gardens have a koi pond Outside, the south-facing garden has been landscaped with terraces and lawns with mature hedging allowing privacy. A water feature includes a koi pond framed by old railway sleepers and the site also has wooden garden shed, dual-level parking and two entrances. Its location is within a 2km radius from a variety of secondary and primary schools including Greystones Educate Together, Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath, St Laurence's and Temple Carrig, while the Go-Ahead bus service departs from 700m down the road for commuting to the capital. While the property would benefit from additional soft landscaping where lower terraces meet the lawn, the house is in mint condition and is now on the market through selling agent DNG seeking €2.1 million.

Who needs the beach when you have your own? Coastal Louth three-bed for €925K
In what has been described as the 'jewel in the crown as far as bungalows go', a stunning three-bed in Co Louth has come to the market with a spectacular feature which many would love to call their own. Dune Watch, situated just a two-minute drive from the seaside villages of Termonfeckin and Clogherhead, has been impeccably designed to create a contemporary yet cosy aesthetic, all while boasting what could be the best views in Co. Louth. The beachfront property lies on a sizable 0.3-acre patch of land with inspiring views of the Irish Sea — and if that's not impressive enough, the new owners will also have personal access to the award-winning Seapoint beach, which was the winner of the Golden Coach Award in 2025. Pic: MyHome/Sherry Fitzgerald | Lannon The stone-clad home comprises three large bedrooms, as well as two en-suite bathrooms and a family bathroom, alongside clean-lined, open-plan spaces perfect for modern living, entertaining, or simply taking in the views of the Irish Sea as the sun sets. The entrance, although situated on a busy walkway to the beach, is private, thanks to cleverly designed stone walls and wooden panelling to keep nosy neighbours away. Stepping inside, you're met with large, light-filled spaces thanks to several floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of your coastal surroundings. Starting at the rear of the home, the living boasts unparalleled views of the coastline, with a corner suite pointing towards the water, creating a calm vibe for the rest of the room. If you want to bring the outside in, pull back the bi-folding doors and be at one with the sea! Pic: MyHome/Sherry Fitzgerald | Lannon A log-burning stove and armchairs make the rest of the room, and who can ignore the double-height ceiling? Adding to the unique ambience of the living space, the wood beams evoke a country-cabin feel for those who enjoy being out on their own, away from the hustle and bustle of life. The kitchen possesses a design that is mainly the same as the living area, as well as a bespoke look at the coast, but turning away from the water, 'bespoke' is undoubtedly the word that comes to mind when you see the kitchen. Comprising ample cabinet space and a design that keeps appliances hidden while not interrupting the scenery, the kitchen is a dream for entertainers. Pic: MyHome/Sherry Fitzgerald | Lannon Moving to the front of the home, the bedrooms are private yet receive ample natural light from intelligently placed windows. A mix of light wood, colourful art, and white walls creates a neutral and tranquil atmosphere for the master bedroom — it is the ideal space for the new owners to drift off to sleep, with the help of the gushing waters nearby. As in the master, the two guest bedrooms are perfect for the shopaholic in your life, thanks to fitted wardrobes complete with dressing tables and vanity mirrors! One of the guest rooms also features an en-suite, meaning it could also serve as the master, should the new owners prefer a more compact sleeping arrangement. Pic: MyHome/Sherry Fitzgerald | Lannon As with the rest of the home, Dune Watch's bathrooms have been expertly designed and decorated with bright tiles, contemporary units and enough rainfall showers to beat the band — one of them is as big as a walk-in wardrobe! Heading outside, prospective owners will understand the € 925,000 price tag when they experience views that one might only expect to find abroad. Simple landscaping allows for the flow of your garden right onto the beach, meaning that busy beach days (like the previous weekend) will be a breeze, cutting out the traffic, parking, and trying to find somewhere to lie, as well as sorting out lunch. This is the second Co Louth home to turn heads after a Bridgerton-style stately home came to the market in Ardee in recent days, making it the most expensive house in the county. Dune Watch, Termonfeckin, Co Louth is for sale with Sherry Fitzgerald Lannon for €925,000. Check out some more shots of the home in the gallery below: Front of Dune Watch, Co. Louth.

We have a supply crisis – pure and simple – which continues to hand all the power to those with deep pockets, while locking out working people. 'Housing for All was meant to solve this.

'The reality is that the Government is failing on all fronts." Advertisement Conall MacCoille, Chief Economist at Bank of Ireland and author of the MyHome report said uncertainty following He added: "The average mortgage approval in May was up 6.7 per cent on the year, while the typical residential transaction is being settled 7.5 per cent above the original asking price. "Meanwhile, one in six properties is sold by 20 per cent or more over asking price, indicating that competition for homes remains fierce.
