Description
Dromin House is a distinguished country house set on 10.9 acres (4.41 hectares) of lush, secluded grounds, occupying an elevated position with stunning views of its gardens and the Wicklow Mountains. Just 1 mile from Delgany village, this elegant home, dating back to circa 1897, was originally part of the historic Old Burnaby Estate and blends character with timeless appeal. Constructed in an attractive combination of red brick and cut granite, the residence sits at the heart of its own private estate. The main entrance, accessed via the Old Delgany Road just off the N11, is marked by handsome stone piers and a charming bedroom gate lodge, completed in 1904. A winding tree-lined avenue ascends past a meandering stream, waterfall, and picturesque duck pond before arriving at the gravelled forecourt of the main house. A second entrance off Drummin Lane provides convenient secondary access to the grounds. The grounds of Dromin House are truly exceptional, meticulously landscaped with mature trees, specimen shrubs, and vibrant flower borders, including cyclamen, wisteria, and an array of colourful plants. The estate also features vegetable plots, a flourishing orchard, and expansive lawns, complemented by gently rolling paddocks ideal for grazing. A peaceful stream meanders through the gardens, adding to the serene ambiance and flowing into a picturesque duck pond. The property is further enhanced by a range of substantial outbuildings, including wood stores, a garden workshop, garaging, and a large machinery shed, offering abundant storage and flexibility for equestrian or horticultural purposes. Dromin House offers generous and well-proportioned accommodation over three floors, extending to over 5,607 sq. ft. The ground floor comprises four elegant reception rooms, including a fine drawing room with twin bay windows, a formal dining room, study, and an inviting family room. Each space is enhanced by period details such as marble fireplaces, ornate ceiling mouldings, window seating, and oak panelled joinery. The spacious kitchen, complete with beamed ceiling, tiled floors, and built in appliances, leads to a range of useful service rooms including a cold pantry, crockery and wine stores, a utility room, and ironing room. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite enjoys impressive proportions and a large en-suite bathroom with vaulted ceilings. There are three further principal bedrooms, all with their own character and garden views, along with three additional secondary bedrooms, ideal for guests or staff. The accommodation also includes several charming spaces suitable for home offices or quiet retreats, each with natural light and timeless ambiance. The property features a range of outbuildings, offering great potential for conversion into extra accommodation (subject to planning permission), equestrian facilities, or other uses. The original gate lodge provides further living space, with two bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen, and bathroom, perfect for staff, guests, or as a potential source of rental income. Dromin House is ideally situated for those seeking a peaceful country lifestyle with exceptional convenience. Delgany, Greystones, Enniskerry, and Bray are all within easy reach, offering a selection of schools, shops, restaurants, and coastal walks. The DART service from Greystones provides direct access to Dublin City, while the N11 ensures an effortless commute by road. For outdoor enthusiasts, the local area offers a wealth of pursuits including golf at Druids Glen and Powerscourt, hiking in the Wicklow Mountains, and country pursuits such as shooting and fishing. An online bidding platform is available and can be shared to interested parties upon request.
