Description
c. 22.68 HA (56 Acres) of land at Dunbur Head, Wicklow. Folio WW277
The land is accessed via a shared entrance to the main road leading to Wicklow Head. The land is located on both sides of a concrete roadway leading to Wicklow Head. The land is laid out in approximately 9 grazing divisions which are well fenced and under grass. The sections above the road are of mixed quality with some rocky outcrop and scrub ground. The land adjoins the southernmost point of Wicklow Golf Club and has superb panoramic views overlooking Wicklow Bay towards Bray and Wicklow Head towards Brittas Bay.
The land below the road is predominantly good quality grazing land and laid out in 5 large divisions. The land is under grass and is in good condition. The lower lying lands to the West and South includes some scrub ground and wetland and there is a small stream adjoining this section of lands. This land does enjoy approximately 150m road frontage onto the Coast Road linking Wicklow & Brittas Bay. The land has approximately 200m frontage above and below the shared roadway leading to Wicklow head.
The land includes a mix of agricultural outbuildings including garage c. (80 sq.m) , wood shed, and modern shed which has been used as a kennels shed c. 125 sq.m with 20 individual kennels. The remaining sheds are a mix of low-roofed sheep and hay sheds of varying quality. There is small enclosed exercise paddocks adjoining the dog kennels.
In the future the land may be some limited site potential for a good quality local applicant fitting the criteria of the rural planning guidelines (SPP).
The land is located within the bounds of the Wicklow Town Development Plan. Under the 2019 Wicklow local area plan the majority of the land is zoned for "passive open space" with an objective "To preserve, improve and provide for parks, recreational public and private open space, green corridors and ecological buffer zones" . The 2025 local area plan is about to enter public consultation phase.
