Property round-up: 3 luxe Irish homes on the market for under €2.2 million

Including an extended 19th-century cottage in Co. Wicklow, a historic lodge in Dublin 18 and a Georgian coach house in Rathfarnham.

Glen Cottage, Kilmacullagh, Newtownmountkennedy, Wicklow, €1,050,000 

Originally a single-storey farmhouse, Glen Cottage has expanded over the years and now includes a 19th-century addition which reads as the principal building. Current owners acquired the building in 1986 along with approximately four acres of land. 

During recent renovations, a new large integrative utility block was added to the north side, serving all of the primary spaces in the house. The kitchen/dining room was moved 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 entertaining.

Bright and spacious with modern touches, the decor is warm and inviting yet tasteful too. Externally, the property is approached via a curved driveway which continues around the house to provide ample parking. Virginia Creeper covers the two-storey front elevation of the house with Wisteria adorning the southern elevation. 

Surrounded by green fields and with a stream and a small pond nearby, the cottage is a haven of peace and tranquillity. 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, lies the haggard with a long stable building along with a spacious detached garage and a separate boiler house. 

Currently on the market for €1,050,000, viewing is highly recommended and can be organised through Hunters Estate Agents.

Ashton Lodge, Kilgobbin Road, Sandyford, Dublin 18, €1,750,000

Situated on Kilgobbin Road, Ashton Lodge is a captivating family home with a unique blend of historic charm and modern practicality. Built circa 1780, the property has been extensively extended over the years. Inside, the decor blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary touches. Highlights include exposed timber beams, granite walls and limestone flooring. 

The ground floor accommodation is spacious with interconnecting rooms in a circular layout. All five double bedrooms—one ensuite—and the main family bathroom are located upstairs. 

Externally there is a large gravelled driveway with ample parking and a cleverly designed garden with a southwesterly aspect.

Nestled between Stepaside and Sandyford, there are myriad transport links in the vicinity including Glencairn LUAS station which is a mere four-minute walk away. The Beacon Hospital, Dundrum Town Centre and Sandyford Business District are also within a short drive. 

Currently on the market for €1,750,000, Ashton Lodge is on sale through Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty Blackrock.

The Coach House, Bolton Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16, €2,200,000 

The original Coach House of the Bolton Hall Estate, the property dates back to Georgian times though it was refurbished in 2016 by Dublin-based Ferreira Architects. Ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac to the rear of the Bolton Park development, the property spans approximately 2,858 square feet and boasts stunning modern finishes set against original period features such as high ceilings, arches and portholes. 

Inside, the accommodation comprises an open plan kitchen, living, dining area and impressive sitting room – all featuring stunning ceiling-to-floor sliding doors, which each open onto the large patios of the south-facing garden – along with four generously proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms. 

Each bedroom is spacious and light-filled, with beautiful views of the surrounding area – some looking out as far as the Dublin Mountains.

Conveniently located in the Rathfarnham area, the Coach House has every conceivable amenity on its doorstep. Rathfarnham Castle Park, Marlay Park and St. Enda’s Park are all within walking distance while Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, Nutgrove Shopping Centre and Dundrum Town Centre are also within a short commute. The area is well-serviced by a range of transport options including several Dublin bus routes, the M50 and the LUAS Green Line at Dundrum is just a short drive away.

Currently on the market for €2,200,000, the property is on sale through DNG Rathfarnham.
