Finnegan Menton are delighted to present Killadreenan House to the market. Constructed c.1890, and steeped in history, this substantial and elegant country residence comprises a main residence of approx. 521 sq. m. (5,608 sq. ft.), a converted coach house with two bed mews, loose boxes and outhouses, and is nestled on approx. 7.25 ha (17.9 acres) boasting incredible views of the surrounding countryside, and offering a number of unexpected features. Approached through the lower paddocks via a sweeping driveway which leads to a gravelled parking area, the main house occupies an elevated position enjoying wonderful panoramic views. A clever addition is the gazebo and viewing deck looking Southwards towards the property's ornamental lake and historic King George Bridge which sits within the property's curtilage, and under which flows the Chapel River which traverses, and in parts, delineates the lower boundary. Surrounded by wonderfully mature grounds, and paddocks, the lands are suitable for a number of potential uses, including agricultural and equine interests, and have proved ideal for hosting large scale events and celebratory occasions. Immediately upon entering the main house, one can sense the many years of family life enjoyed by the long-term owners. Equally evident is the sense of history in the building, once home to Moya Llewelyn-Davis, spy for Michael Collins, whose previously auctioned letters gave insights into Michael Collins's personality and his relationship with Kitty Kiernan, and whose own family was mentioned by Joyce in Finnegans Wake. Laid out in two storeys above Garden Level, the elegantly proportioned rooms boast high ceilings and expansive fenestration ensuring that the house is flooded with natural light, and that the scenic views are maximised at every opportunity. The many intact period features including fireplaces, feature staircase and balustrade, and wine cellar, and drying/laundry room, and accentuate the period charm of the house, which has been adapted over the years to compliment modern family living. Discretely positioned, and ideally distanced to the East of the main house, sits a large barn, tennis courts, a period stable block with coach house, and a charming two-storey two-bedroom mews, ideal for accommodating guests, staff, or as a source of rental income. Killadreenan House, and all it encompasses, enjoys the best of both worlds, boasting an idyllic, tranquil, and enviable rural setting, while still being located only 25 minutes from South Co. Dublin via the adjacent N11, and is within a short distance of the village of Newtownmountkennedy, with its growing selection of shops including Dunnes Stores, and which offers an array of amenities such as The Mount Kennedy Inn, Fishers, Bunters Café, Wicklow Wolf Brewery & The Parkview Hotel, and important services such as a pharmacy and doctors surgery. Public transport is well catered for with the Bus Eireann 133 route to Dublin City and the Dublin Bus 184 route to Greystones and Bray, and with Greystones Dart station under 10km from the village.
