Clain Mara boasts gorgeous views of the seaside with an equally impressive interior with its spacious rooms and modern amenities. The 275 sqm property was built by Una Waldron and her sales director husband Ken in 1991.

Speaking about the home's split-level design, Una said: "My husband was working for an Irish company with Finnish connections at the time and was inspired by houses he had encountered during trips to Finland." The house is divided into two distinct sections – a two-storey bedroom area and a single-storey, light-filled, living area.

An entrance foyer, with guest WC and cloakroom, is located on the first floor and leads to a dining room, living room, family room, and kitchen. The living room has an open-feature fireplace and is bright and spacious with large windows overlooking the front and rear gardens.

From here, steps lead down to the family room on the ground floor which is currently being used and a TV/den area. The kitchen, with tiled flooring and access to the rear terrace, boasts stunning views of the Skerries Islands and is fitted with an ample number of storage units and integrated appliances.

A corridor leads to the bedroom area, where a music room and family bathroom are also located. The master bedroom, which is a converted attic, features ocean views and a large ensuite.

Two of the four other bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes, with one of these two also an ensuite. Another double bedroom is located at the front of the property, alongside a single with fitted wardrobes.

Una said: "Building the house was the best thing we ever did. I never once got bored looking out the kitchen window, and we have had very happy memories here.”
