Lawn View, Church Hill, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, A98V598

Built circa 1860, Lawn View is a beautifully restored period home on Church Hill, just 100m from the heart of Enniskerry Village. Full of character and charm, the property forms part of Enniskerry’s historic estate village, renowned for its picturesque Gothic Revival architecture and strong association with the Powerscourt Estate. The house has undergone an extensive and sympathetic renovation, carefully combining its Victorian heritage with an exceptional standard of modern comfort and finish. The distinctive façade, with its decorative gables, projecting porch and gabled oriel window, has been lovingly restored under the guidance of a conservation architect. Handcrafted Accoya decorative joinery, replica sash windows with brass hardware, period-style gutters and downpipes and the original elliptical-headed front door all contribute to the authentic period character of the house. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout, walnut flooring with stained teak saddle boards, substantial designer internal doors with period brass hardware and custom traditional architraves. The front bedroom features an EcoDesign inset wood-burning stove with sandstone surround and black marble hearth, plantation shutters, period wall sconces and a decorative ceiling rose. The adjoining front office has a deep-set window with plantation shutters and antique-brass recessed lighting, providing an ideal work-from-home space. Accommodation at this level includes three bedrooms, a home office and family bathroom. The principal bedroom features custom wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite with a double slipper bath, separate rainfall shower and period-inspired fittings. The first floor is home to the impressive open-plan kitchen and living space, where a vaulted ceiling with four large Velux windows creates a bright and spacious heart to the home. A 5kW wood-burning stove with a substantial honed marble surround provides a striking focal point, while large Georgian-bar sash windows add further period character. The hand-painted kitchen features a generous island, quartz worktops and backsplash, excellent storage and quality appliances. French doors open from the living area onto a generous balcony/deck with decorative French-inspired railings, creating a wonderful space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Two additional reception rooms offer elegant and versatile living spaces, both with impressive three-metre-high ceilings, decorative ceiling roses, brass chandeliers and plantation shutters. Restored Victorian fireplaces further enhance the period atmosphere, with the sitting room also featuring an EcoDesign wood-burning stove. A further bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.
