Rose Cottage, Glencap, Kilmacanogue, Co. Wicklow, A98HD98

George & Maguire Properties are delighted to introduce to the market the exquisite Rose Cottage, an exceptional residence nestled at the foothills of the majestic Sugarloaf Mountain. Framed by a spectacular, sun-drenched garden and surrounded by lush greenery, with the Sugarloaf as its iconic backdrop, this enchanting period home has been meticulously transformed into a haven of luxury and elegance. Originally dating back to the 1800s, Rose Cottage underwent a comprehensive, architect-led renovation and extension beginning in 2013 — a complete reimagining from the ground up. The result is a flawlessly presented home where every detail has been thoughtfully curated, offering an extraordinary blend of timeless charm and modern sophistication. Spanning approximately 3,573 sq. ft., with an additional 667 sq. ft. in the Auxiliary cottage and buildings, the five-bedroom main residence offers an expansive and thoughtfully designed layout. The heart of the home is an open-plan living space, artfully arranged into distinct zones for living, family, dining, and kitchen — all seamlessly flowing yet subtly defined. A separate study/reception room adds further versatility. The residence features four luxurious ensuite bedrooms, including a magnificent principal suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and elegant ensuite bathroom. A vast picture window in the suite frames breathtaking views of the manicured gardens and surrounding greenery — an ever-changing natural masterpiece. A fifth bedroom and a beautifully appointed main bathroom complete the first-floor accommodation. At the heart of the home lies the striking open-plan kitchen and living space, finished with polished concrete floors and anchored by a bespoke Newcastle Design kitchen — an artisanal triumph crafted from solid oak, rich mahogany, and volcanic stone countertops. An expansive central island invites connection and conviviality, while wall-to-wall concertina doors open fully to the rear patio, blurring the lines between indoor refinement and outdoor tranquility. The interior layout features an intelligent open-plan flow, with architectural detailing such as split levels, layered lighting, and the strategic placement of the stove to subtly define distinct zones within the space. For those desiring more separation, the design easily allows for the installation of internal doors without compromising its elegant rhythm. Enhancing the appeal is a charming Auxiliary cottage and buildings, offering a private entrance, whether used as a a home office, gym or a creative retreat, the possibilities are as flexible as they are luxurious. The gardens are a true sanctuary, meticulously landscaped to capture sunlight from dawn to dusk. A series of elegant patios encourage alfresco living and dining, while mature Portuguese laurel hedging and vibrant plantings — including agapanthus, ornamental grasses, lavender, and more — fill the grounds with colour and fragrance. A dedicated fire pit area, bordered by smartly trimmed buxus hedging, adds both function and finesse to this enchanting outdoor setting. Every inch of this extraordinary home radiates quality — from custom-crafted finishes to high-end sanitary ware and refined interior styling. It is a residence crafted for those with a discerning eye for design, a love of privacy, and an appreciation for the finer things in life. Located in the heart of Kilmacanogue, County Wicklow — aptly named the Garden of Ireland — residents enjoy the serenity of a natural haven with convenient access to a wide range of local amenities.
