Address: Angele Dei, 14 Kendalstown Rise, Delgany, Co WicklowPrice: €2,200,000 Agent: DNGKendalstown Rise, a small enclave of high-end homes in Delgany, was developed in the 1990s. Its mature woodlands were once part of the Bellevue Estate, the famous 18th-century house and gardens developed by the La Touche family in the late 1700s. Peter La Touche is reported to have spent £30,000 on the gardens, the same sum as it cost to erect Bellevue House in around 1785.

Address: Wendon House, Church Road, Delgany, Co WicklowPrice: €1,150,000 Agent: DNGSaid to have been inspired by the story of Peter Pan, Wendon House on Church Road in Delgany, Co Wicklow, once bore the moniker Wendy’s House in a nod to JM Barrie’s 1904 play. The 1930s quirky gem is instantly recognisable in the local community thanks to its unique architecture and fairy-tale charm, with a central turret, quaint casement windows and signature red door.

Address: Mentone, Marino Avenue East, Killiney, Co. DublinPrice: €7,500,000 Agent: Lisney Sotheby’s International RealtyDalkey and Killiney are often compared to the Italian Riviera and the Amalfi coast because of their dramatic sea views, meandering coastline and golden sands. Killiney Bay lives up to its comparison to the green waters of the Bay of Naples, and many roads in the surrounding areas, including Vico Road and Sorrento Terrace, take their names from Europe’s continental coastal towns.
