Pier front home with incredible views over Sheephaven Bay
Set in one of the most scenic positions in Downings, the Pier House commands an elevated position beside the entrance to the pier and just beside Downings Bay Beach.
The property was constructed in the early 1930's by a local man who trained as a ships carpenter. There is evidence throughout the house of this type of craftmanship such as the panelled ceilings in the two front rooms which reflect the ceilings on cruise liners of the time.
The internal accommodation is of generous proportions in line with the time of construction with many period features still intact throughout the home including the sash windows, detailed coving and feature high ceilings. The entrance hall provides access to the main reception rooms namely the drawing room and living room, which are bright and spacious.
To the rear of the house is the kitchen, utility area, family bathroom as well as a storeroom which could easily be used as a 4th bedroom.
On the first floor, there are 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom, all centred around a beautiful landing space. The main bedrooms are light-filled and expansive with the added benefit of period fireplaces and sea views. The layout of the bedrooms lends itself to the inclusion of ensuite bathrooms and walk in wardrobes.
In all the house extends to approximately 142 sq m / 1,534 sq ft. A layout of the accommodation is shown on the accompanying floorplans.
The Icehouse
The icehouse was built to store ice for the local fishing industry and is one of a few dotted around the Irish and UK coastline. Ideally suited to store a boat or indeed water sports equipment but could also be converted to a beautiful office space subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Grounds
There is a small terrace to the rear of the house as well as seating space to the front of the house to sit and enjoy the water view.
Viewing
Strictly by appointment with Savills Country Agency. Given the hazards of the coastal setting of the property, we urge the strictest of caution when viewing or inspecting the property.
