The SeaGreen Kitchen: The Heart Of Your Family Home

A couple of decades ago, the design trend for kitchens was to make them as small and utilitarian as possible, often hidden from the dining and living spaces in houses. However, now we think differently. Modern life revolves around the kitchen, and it is now the centrepiece of the family home.

We strongly appreciate the importance of the kitchen in family life, which is why we build our  houses for sale in Greystones to really showcase that living space where the family spends most of its time together, and focus on providing very detailed design considerations and features to make this room as spacious, useful, comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

The beautiful houses in the SeaGreen development situated in a perfect location by the sea in Greystones offer so much in the way of comfortable living, numerous outdoor activities for all the family, and easy commutes to Dublin city centre and the surrounding towns and facilities, but home is where the whole family returns to, and the kitchen is usually the first and last stop of the day.

It’s where the family gathers to cook, eat, talk about their plans for the day or what they got up to at work, at the nearby schools or out and about in the town, so it needs to be perfect. You can see how much of a focus we have put into the kitchen area of all our houses here, from our three-bed Portland (pictured below) to our four-bed Wyndham (second picture below) and Bellevue (main picture above) and five-bed Somerby houses.

We are currently working with our dedicated team on our exciting upcoming phase to make sure that the kitchen remains a priority when we turn these houses into perfect homes, and our upcoming show house features beautiful and elegant kitchen areas that make sure this is not just a space to cook in, but where the family can gather and enjoy the SeaGreen life.

Here, we offer a sneak preview blueprints of what we are planning for this upcoming phase, and we can’t wait to show it to you.

As you can see, ample room is provided in these kitchens to enable the whole family to gather, with the centre island providing room where everyone can sit, eat and chat away from the cooking area – a perfect accompaniment to the home’s separate dining area. The kitchen includes a top-quality oven and microwave and a beautifully designed preparation area, so that it becomes another living space within the home.

Finished with the highest quality fittings and features, these kitchens are, as with all SeaGreen homes, highly-energy-efficient, meaning your energy bills will be kept extremely low, and are sleek and beautifully designed to give a homely yet modern feel that will offer all you need to make this very important part of your home the perfect place to be.

Glass doors will lead out to the back garden so that on perfect days in Greystones you can open these and extend your living space, and allowing the sea air to bring a freshness to the home, just as you can with our high-spec balcony windows that give you that penthouse feel in your family home.

You can see the beautiful interiors we dedicate ourselves to creating in all of the houses at SeaGreen in the video below:

The Call of the Sea: Water Activities for the Family to Enjoy in Greystones When You Buy a SeaGreen Home

The cold and dark evenings are hopefully on their way out soon, and we can begin to look forward to the type of weather that makes Greystones  a perfect place to live. Situated on the coast just outside Dublin, this thriving town offers a number of great outdoor activities for all the family, as well as a few  hidden gems, and if you buy one of the beautiful new houses at SeaGreen, you can answer the call of the sea and enjoy a range of water-based pursuits practically on your doorstep.

While the houses at SeaGreen all offer high-spec fixtures, features and fittings, one other major benefit of this development is its proximity to the coast, and the many activities it provides to make sure you and your family enjoy  a great lifestyle.

Here are just a few marine highlights of this great seaside location:

Greystones Harbour Marina

Recently modernised,  Greystones marina lies at the centre of the town’s beautiful harbour, and is a great place to indulge in your love of the water.

Accommodating up to 250 boats and attracting sailing enthusiasts from all over Ireland, the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and even the US, the marina provides full boatyard facilities, including storage, hoisting, water and shore power, fuelling, and toilet and shower facilities. There is also free WiFi and local maps and guides, so even if you are not planning to head out on the water, it’s a great place to kick back and relax, or plan a day out inland.

The Beaches

On either side of the harbour lies a beautiful Blue Flag beach that provides a great chance to enjoy a bit of sun, sea and sand. In the summer months, these beaches prove very popular with locals and visitors alike, with the nearby railway line offering easy access from Dublin and the surrounding towns, but locals are also known to enjoy the water here all year round, as  the annual Christmas swim shows.

What makes these beaches truly stand out is the amazing setting, with stunning views across Bray Head and Dublin Bay to the north, and the majestic backdrop of the Sugarloaf and Wicklow Mountains to the west. On a clear day, you can even make out the west coast of Wales on the horizon across the Irish Sea.

Greystones Sailing Club

Celebrating its 50th birthday this year,  Greystones Sailing Club is one of the best dinghy sailing clubs in Ireland. The 350 member-strong organisation offers dinghy and keelboat sailing courses for a range of junior and adult classes and abilities, so whether you are an experienced racer or an absolute beginner, there is a course for you here.

water_activities_for_your_family_to_enjoy_when_you_buy_a_new_house_for_sale_at_seagreen_in_greystones_call_of_the_sea

The club has an active training and sailing programme providing instruction for 100 children and 30 adults every year, with ongoing training for other members, and runs a beginner’s course for Transition Year students at one of the  excellent local schools – the nearby St David’s Secondary School. It also provides courses for First Aid, powerboats and sailing instructors.

Greystones Ridge Angling Club

Having formed almost 60 years ago, the  Greystones Ridge Angling Club now has a brand-new clubhouse befitting the organisation’s appeal to the local community. With new members always welcome, they plan to make the club a centre of excellence for sea angling, and plan angling courses for people of all ages.

Sea Scouts

Based in the harbour marina, the  Greystones Harbour Sea Scouts provides children and young adults with a great way to stay active, have fun and make friends. With a full marine activities programme including canoes and dinghies incorporated into the normal land-based scouting activities, members can enjoy a good cross-section of outdoor pursuits. During the winter months, theory practice is taught, before summer sees the Scouts take to the water, fully prepared and ready to put their lessons into practice.

From the age of six, children can join the Beavers, then move on to the Cubs at eight, before joining the Sea Scouts at 11, then moving up to the Venture section at 15, then the Rovers at 18, with the possibility of taking on a leadership role, so no matter what age your children are, they will find fun and friendship here.

The Cliff Walk

If you love the sea but prefer to look at it from the comfort of dry land, the  Cliff Walk between Greystones and Bray is the perfect place to take in the scenery and get some exercise. The 7km walk along a well-maintained path offers great views of the surrounding coast, with the final stop at Bray Head well worth all the effort.

As well as the beautiful flora and many seabirds, porpoises, dolphins and basking sharks can sometimes be spotted by the keen-eyed walker.

If you don’t fancy retracing your steps back to Greystones, you can always take the 15-minute Dart ride from Bray station.

Greystones offers so many marine-based activities that you and your family will be able to enjoy a great lifestyle, and if you buy one of the homes at SeaGreen, you will be able to easily access all of these and experience all this town has to offer, before returning to the comfort of your beautiful home in this great development.
