Step back in time with this well preserved 2 bedroom semi-detached cottage nestled within the storied grounds of the Avondale Estate in Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. Dating back to the 19th century, this rare gem blends period character with a truly unique setting, offering a tranquil lifestyle steeped in history and nature.
Surrounded by mature woodland and moments from the Avondale Forest Park, the property enjoys a peaceful, rural atmosphere while remaining just a short distance from the town of Rathdrum and its rail connections to Dublin.
Inside, the cottage features classic architectural details of the era, including original stonework, timber floors, and a wood burning stove. The accommodation includes two cosy bedrooms, a welcoming living area, a country style kitchen with sunroom off, and a well appointed bathroom — all lovingly maintained to preserve the charm of its heritage.
Outside, the home benefits from an additional 1/2 acre plot located to the rear of the property and surrounded by mature trees, an ideal space for gardening, growing vegetables or enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Perfect for those seeking a weekend retreat, a full-time residence with character, or a slice of Irish heritage, this property is an opportunity to own a piece of the past in one of Wicklow's most scenic and historically significant locations.
