Our house is a three bedroom detached, Victorian house set in its own garden near the centre of Bray. Bray is the finest Victorian seaside town in the Irish Republic with its stunning seafront and mountain backdrop. Our house is beside a mature park and is a three minute walk to the nearest supermarket and bus stop. The town centre is a four minute walk away while the train, north to Dublin, south to the picturesque village of Greystones is a 15 minute walk and situated beside the seafront. Because of its beauty, Bray is surrounded by historic houses and gardens, eg. Powerscourt house and gardens, Kilruddery house and gardens. Bray is also home to the only film studio in Ireland and is the hub of the Irish film industry.
