In sunnier climes the southwest facing, enclosed and landscaped courtyard added to the front of 88 The Briary could be enjoyed with abandon all summer long. Even in our less than scorching summers it adds greatly to 88 The Briary’s living possibilities, giving a sense of light and space and allowing the house to make the best use of its one-third acre site on Brittas’s green, coastal landscape.
There are about 50 houses in The Briary - part of the Blainroe development - some of which, though built as seaside holiday homes, are occupied all year round.
As well as extending 88 The Briary, the owners have created a decor in which the extensive use of blue and white embraces the location with flair – the kitchen has blue fittings and white worktops, the living room walls are the palest of pale sky blue.
