Fingleton & Co. are delighted to present 20 Bray Upper – a beautifully restored four-bedroom detached stone cottage set on a superb site of just over one acre of mature gardens. Ideally located on the Athy–Castledermot Road, this unique residence retains the charm of the original stone cottage while blending modern style, comfort, and natural light to create a warm and inviting family home.

Athy is a vibrant Heritage Town with an excellent mix of amenities. From welcoming pubs, restaurants, and the Clanard Court Hotel, to national retailers such as Lidl, Aldi, and Shaws, alongside a wide variety of independent shops – everything you need is on your doorstep.

Recent investment has further enhanced the town, with highlights including the revitalised Emily Square, the newly refurbished Athy Library, and the scenic Barrow Blueway – a hub for walking, cycling, and community life.

For leisure and recreation, Athy provides first-class facilities: golf, GAA, rugby, football, tennis, and swimming at K Leisure. Combined with the property’s generous one-acre gardens, this home offers an enviable balance of space, privacy, and connectivity.
