Glen Cottage, originally a single storey farmhouse has a two storey 19th Century addition which reads as the principle building. A Virginia Creeper covers the two-storey front elevation of the house and a Wisteria the southern elevation The house is approached by a curved driveway, which continues around the house to provide ample parking and to allow egress from the back gate. This charming house and garden has wonderful privacy and tranquility, and its practical orientation faces south overlooking the glacial valley. In 1986 the present owners acquired Glen Cottage, with circa four acres. Initially they carried out extensive works to the 19th Century section of the house and more recently they upgraded the remainder of the house adding a new large integrative utility block to the north side which serves all of the primary spaces in the house. That upgrade to the property facilitated moving the kitchen dining to the south facing single storey section of the house creating a stronger connection between the house and the garden as well as providing an excellent space for family dining and for entertaining. The front entrance is reached across a rectilinear limestone terrace. The tranquil and sunny terrace in front of the house overlooking the garden which falls away gently to reveal the wider landscape. To the eastern part of the garden a hedge conceals an additional garden space which accommodates the glass house, the fruit garden and vegetable patch. To the western side of the house lies the haggard with a long stable building with pitched roof and Bangor blue slates, re slated by current owners circa 20 years ago. There is stabling for horses as well as a large over-loft. There is a spacious detached garage, with pitched slate roof and a separate boiler house. Below the house there are two large paddocks with post and rail fencing which run down to the "Mill stream" and the land runs to the far side of the stream. The paddocks flank the pond which is fed by a natural spring. Newtownmountkennedy itself is an attractive and thriving village which gives easy access to the nearby villages of Kilcoole, and Delgany and to Greystones and is just a 5-minute drive from the N11.
