Oldcourt HouseBray, Co. Wicklow

The subject site is situated on approx. 6.6 hectares (16.4 Acres), and comprises the gardens of Oldcourt House, Bray, a detached house which is a protected structure. This protected structure has been incorporated into the feasibility study, with the remaining of the gardens providing the development potential of the sale. This site is occupied by Oldcourt House and Castle, both are protected structures. The Swan River passes through the lands and there are protected mature trees located along the river valley, as well as the ruins of Oldcourt Castle itself on the eastern bank. These lands are enclosed by 20th century housing estates on all sides, with Sunbeam House residential property to the immediate east, sharing the same access road from Vevay Road. It is considered that some of these lands are suitable for new residential development, given the pattern of development in the vicinity and the proximity to all town services. However, any such development shall be contingent on the provision of public open space along the river, allowing for full connectivity to the existing open spaces to the north and south of the site.
