Property Description:
A beautifully restored period house dating back to 1815 located a short walk from Dungarvan town centre, "Mountain View House" is a true gem. Local records show that the property was constructed in 1815, the history of Mountain View House is inextricably linked with the history of the Dower family who were prominent in the business and social life of Dungarvan for over 180 years. The house was built on about 2 acres of land which was then "the fair green of Dungarvan". For years it had been the official residence of the local resident magistrate. John R. Dower was a Justice of the Peace. The ground rent and adjoining land was purchased in fee by John R. Dower at the sale of the Marquis of Waterford's property.In recent times the house was left derelict and it seemed that the house and its fantastic architectural detail were to be lost forever. However the current owners saw the potential of the house and restored and furnished it to its former glory. Many of the original features still remain including the sash windows, shutters and coving.
Currently trading as an I.T.B. approved Bed and Breakfast house, the accommodation on offer included 7 en suite bedrooms with 6 on the first floor.
Upon entering the property, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone for this period home. Deep red colours compliment beautifully with the pine flooring and accentuate the ornate coving and feature arches. A second hall leads to the feature staircase with the wonderful landing with traditional sash windows to the front and rear of the property.
The drawing room is simply stunning with the traditional sash window to front and side ensuring a light filled setting. A wonderful Carna marble fireplace is located at one end of this reception room and those with a keen eye will note the intricate cornicing, coving and decorative feature arch.
The dining room is located to the opposite side of the property, again with traditional sash window to the front. The handcrafted fireplace has been crafted from pine salvaged from the original house. An unusual feature in the large kitchen is the presence of the "servants" staircase, giving access to the first floor.
Mountain View House currently trades as an ITB approved Bed and Breakfast and can boast 7 bedrooms all of which are en suite. The split level landing is a very important feature of the property with large sash windows that look to the front and rear of the property.
