Description

Edendale is a charming villa style home set within 5.46 acres (2.2 hectares) of magical gardens and within a picturesque landscape, offering a truly enchanted living experience. Accommodation is augmented by a guest lodge to provide 5- bedrooms and 4,255 square feet (395 square metres) of accommodation in total. The main villa with three bedrooms and three bathrooms and the lodge with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Superbly located within thirty minutes from South Dublin, an hour from Dublin Airport and five minutes from the M11 motorway at Kilbride the coastal town of Wicklow is 8km (5miles) away and beautiful Brittas Bay beach just 6km (3.7miles) away. Nestled in a south-facing position, Edendale enjoys breath-taking views over the meticulously landscaped gardens and onward over pastural countryside towards the sea. Striking espalier vines gracefully adorn the front elevation of the villas and a generous porch faces east, south and west. Providing an idyllic spot for savouring a morning coffee or enjoying an evening glass of wine. The interior is thoughtfully laid- out. Three principal reception rooms overlook the stunning valley gardens and include a dining room, a library and drawing room. The charming library interconnects to a generous south and west facing drawing room, where large French doors open to the garden, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living. The high ceilings, standing at an impressive 12 feet (3.65 metres), are adorned with original cornices and augmented by classic fireplaces, Georgian sash windows, window shutters, and hardwood herringbone parquet flooring. All giving Edendale a timeless elegance. The kitchen, includes an east facing breakfast area, a walk-in pantry and a pizza oven. A separate utility area provides good storage, a wine cellar, and a bathroom. A ground floor guest bedroom suite has a sitting room, library alcove, bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom having a separate dressing area and generous walk-in wardrobe. The meticulously designed and mature gardens are glorious and create a serene and enchanting oasis, providing a magical and captivating spectacle as they transition with the seasons. The gardens benefit from a southerly aspect, shelter and close proximity to the sea ensuring a mild climate for tender plants. The rich soil encourages ericaceous species including rhododendron, magnolia and camellia. There are numerous specimens of rare trees throughout, including eucryphia, azara and embothrium. In Spring, the garden is lit up by over 50 varieties of daffodils and by rare snowdrops. Mature Japanese maples provide a spectacular display of autumn colour. A fruit cage is home to a wide variety of berries, while apples and mulberries and filberts flourish in the orchard. Sunny terraces are richly planted with unusual shrubs, and a barbecue area provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. Edendale has a rich history and provenance, originally the presbytery for St. Brigid’s parish church in Kilbride, on lands donated by the local Quaker community upon repeal of the Penal Laws. Edendale retains many original features, including ecclesiastical stained glass, ceiling cornices and the elegant staircase. Eden Lodge, a separate two-bedroom dwelling, could be perfect for visiting family or friends or could be utilized as a rental property, generating an attractive income. With its own entrance and ample parking space, the lodge features a kitchen, living room (each with wood burning stoves) and two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor. Exposed stonework on the interior adds rustic charm, although the lodge was restored circa 2008. Adjacent to the lodge there is a stable block with two stables and a grazing field, itself lined by a scenic walking trail adorned with lime trees. The lodge, formerly a coach house, dates to 1838. Edendale represents a unique and truly wonderful home in a most beautiful setting. Joint Agents: Lisney Sotheby's International Realty
