Description

Description Ileclash is a truly exceptional property with a totally restored Georgian house (approximately 683sqm) of fine manageable proportions, set on a promontory overlooking the countryside and surrounded by delightful gardens, together with two guest cottages and with frontage to and fishing rights over the River Blackwater, a noted Salmon and Sea Trout River. One of Ireland's finest country houses and 2 adjoining guest cottages. The property has been restored to the highest quality and in a superb elevated garden setting with frontage to and fishing rights over the River Blackwater. About 30 minutes from Cork city and airport. Luxuriously appointed accommodation includes double reception hall, 5 reception rooms, kitchen and conservatory, 5 bedrooms, dressing room and 6 bathrooms. In all about 4.9ha. (12 Acres) History Ileclash house which at times was also known as Licklash and Rockville, was built c. 1800 and is situated about 200m from the ruin of the historically interesting Licklash Castle. Over the years Ileclash has had many colourful and historically interesting owners and none more so than Sir Oswald Mosley whose love life was nearly as intriguing as his political and his wife Diana, one of the famous Mitford sisters. The Restoration When acquired by the current vendors Ileclash House and grounds although not totally neglected, were in need of substantial upgrading and modernisation. Over a 4 year period under the supervision of noted conservation architects, Frank Murphy and Partners, the property was transformed, through considerable expenditure and attention to detail seldom seen to what is now an exceptional property. The Main House Accommodation The internal layout is designed so that the reception rooms and main bedrooms can take full advantage of the vista and grounds. The bright and spacious accommodation generally faces south and west and includes double reception hall, 5 reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with sunroom and upstairs 5 bedrooms, dressing room, 6 bathrooms and a study/library. The Guest Cottages Situated in a sheltered courtyard adjoining the main house and also with separate access are two charming restored guest cottages. The Grounds The grounds are a definite feature of Ileclash with an abundance of mature timber, terraced lawns interspersed with walkways and a delightful walled garden to the rear with spacious sun terrace and carefully tended box hedging, shrubberies and flower beds. The Walled Garden A true delight is the sheltered walled garden to the rear of the house. The River, Fishing, Riverbank, Island and The Caves A series of stone steps flanked by flowering plants and shrubs lead from the terraced lawns to the riverbank, which has been maintained to take full advantage of the fishing. About 2km of fishing rights part double but mainly single bank over the prized Blackwater River and adjacent partially owned island are included in the sale. There are a series of caves off the riverbank, which conjure up thoughts of long extinct bears and ancient Ireland. Location Ileclash is located close to the prosperous town of Fermoy and the M8 Dublin to Cork motorway. Cork City and airport are less than a 30 minute drive. Ileclash is ideally located for the sport enthusiast being close to a number of championship golf courses, harbours from which to sail and fish, the golden beaches of the south coast and an excellent Salmon River over which you have single and double bank rights on your doorstep. Directions Ileclash house is 2km from the centre of Fermoy out the Ballyduff Road which runs parallel to the river.
