Most impressive three bay ivy clad Georgian Residence standing on C.6.77 acres of parklands, paddocks, gardens and grounds. This beautiful period home, while spacious, is of practical proportions extending to approximately 298 sq. m. (3207 sq. ft.). The unique home boasts many original features such as two over two sliding sash windows, two beautiful ornate chimneys, attractive overhanging flagstone eaves and delicate bell-cast natural slate roof. The residence was built by Admiral Rudd Emily Caroline Rudd (née Goodison) in 1862 and was inherited by Jeam Lamont whose mother was a Rudd. From her A.K. Shriver Roche bought the property in 1952/53 who was an ancestor of the present owner.
The property is situated within 2km from Enniscorthy town, placing it centrally close to a host of amenities and schools while also being just over 2kms to the exit of the new M11 motorway, meaning Dublin is just over an hours drive
On entrance to the main house it is hard not to be impressed, by the spacious light filled interior of this home which is beautifully presented and maintained to a high standard throughout, being lavishly decorated. Impressive high ceilings, beautiful honeyed timber flooring, feature cast iron and marble fireplaces, orginial doorcase with panelled pilasters supporting "Cavetto"- detailed cornice on fluted consoles, and concealed dressings with hood moulding over on ogee label stops framing timber panelled double doors having overlight to name but a few of the many features. All of these highlight the artistic potential of a period home having historic connections with the Rudd family including Ellen Rudd (b. 1864) and Susan Dora Rudd (b. 1869), artist and exhibitor at the Royal Hibernian Academy.
The drawing room to the right of the entrance hall boasts a beautiful feature fireplace and a 2 bay windows with beautiful views. On the left is a formal dining room with large kitchen dining area to the rear. This room provides a wonderful space for entertaining or just to sit back and relax with the family. The library is a quiet cosy space while the large utility/laundry room offers the owners ample storage space.
An elegant staircase raises to the first floor with a study off a half landing. On the first floor there are five well proportioned double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outside, the property is approached by a long private driveway leading to the front of the house, with ample parking. The front and rear gardens have been landscaped with a variety of mature shrubs and trees with expansive lawn. while the residence also enjoys dual road frontage (offering possible development potential). The house is well set back from the road with the majority of the lands standing to the front in the form of a useful field/paddock which may be of benefit with equine or other interests.
Situated in a very private setting yet just on the edge Enniscorthy town, this property is truly magnificent and viewing is highly recommended.
