The Lodge' is a delightful 18th century cottage full of character, style & charm located at Friars Hill Wicklow. The original property was built in the late 1700's, is steeped in local history and is thought to be one of the oldest standing residential properties in Wicklow town. 'The Lodge' is wonderfully presented with many wonderful genuine features such as unique gothic style windows, exposed ceiling beams, and eye catching period cast-iron fireplaces. Properties like this do not come on the market very often. The Lodge is a little piece of heaven in the heart of Wicklow town and simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Originally the Lodge was the gate lodge for Friars Hill House a large estate owned for several generations by the Grimshaw family. The property was extended to allow for a large Kitchen/dining area and two additional bedrooms but is wholly in keeping with the old world character of this fantastic home. All four beautifully decorated bedrooms are set into the eaves of the house and the exposed beams, low ceilings, creaking floorboards and gothic windows transport you to a bygone era.
Property measures approximately 113 sq.m (1,217 sq.ft) and accommodation comprises: Sitting Room, Parlour, Kitchen/Dining Room, Utility Room, Guest Bathroom, with 3 double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family shower room on the 1st floor.
Externally the garden is bounded by a stone wall and electric gates with the mature trees and shrubs adding to the charm and privacy and security of this stunning home. An ancient Lime tree standing in the grounds is the last remnant of what was a wonderful tree lined avenue that swept up to Friars Hill House.

The property is located on Friars Hill in one of the oldest and most prestigious residential areas in Wicklow Town. Some of the towns' finest residences are in the vicinity and you cannot but be impressed by this wonderful setting.
