Exceptional Period Residence on Over 10 Acres with Gate Lodge A rare and distinguished character residence set on over 10 acres of private grounds, ideally located just over one hour west of Dublin, but at the edge of an urban setting. Lovingly cared for by the same family for almost 80 years, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully maintained and enhanced over generations. Extensive refurbishment and renovation work carried out over the past 15 years in particular, have carefully preserved the home’s original charm of a country house, while introducing modern comforts. The special setting of mature woodland, landscaped gardens, lawns and winding paths provide both a truly private home but also with potential scope for new owners. The main residence extends to approximately 625 sq.m. and is arranged over two floors above a lower courtyard level. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, featuring 5 spacious bedrooms, several ensuite bathrooms, a formal drawing room, elegant dining room, games room, large kitchen and utility, and an independent workspace/studio that is ideal for creative, professional use or additional accommodation. Adding further appeal is a charming gate lodge, a fully modernised and recently extended two-bedroom detached cottage situated just inside the entrance. The lodge benefits from a highly efficient air-to-water heating system with underfloor heating throughout, providing contemporary comfort and energy efficiency. Despite its secluded setting, the property enjoys a prime location, with many amenities within a 10-minute walk, including shops, hotels, restaurants, an art gallery, public library, rail and bus stations, sports grounds, watersports and schools.
