Description

Welcome to Killough Cottage - a place where time slows, nature surrounds you and the gentle murmur of a rambling brook becomes part of everyday life. Set amidst approximately one acre of sun-drenched, mature gardens, this enchanting four-bedroom detached residence offers a rare sense of tranquillity and seclusion. Originally built circa 1900 and thoughtfully reimagined and extended in 2002, Killough Cottage beautifully blends period character with the comforts and proportions of modern family living. Approached through electronic gates and along a sweeping gravel driveway, the sense of arrival is both private and picturesque. Beyond the front door lies a warm and welcoming home, rich in character yet designed with a natural flow that perfectly suits contemporary living. The dual-aspect living room is bathed in natural light throughout the day and enjoys tranquil views across the surrounding gardens. At the heart of the home lies a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area - an inviting space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly to the garden, allowing sunlight to stream across wide-plank oak flooring, while bespoke cabinetry, solid teak worktops and the reassuring warmth of a Stanley range create a kitchen of both timeless appeal and practicality. Four beautifully appointed bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, two benefiting from en-suite bathrooms, while a spacious family bathroom completes the main accommodation. At the lower garden level, two versatile rooms open directly onto the grounds, offering excellent flexibility as home offices, creative studios or children’s playrooms, seamlessly connecting indoor living with the surrounding landscape. It is outside, however, where Killough Cottage truly captivates. Winding pathways meander through a rich tapestry of colourful planting, mature trees and rolling lawns. Elevated vegetable beds, secluded seating areas perfect for long summer lunches and a greenhouse quietly tucked into a garden corner ensure that every turn reveals another charming feature. Follow the gentle pathway to the banks of the Killough River, where the soft sound of flowing water creates a magical and peaceful setting - a place for quiet reflection, childhood adventures and cherished family moments. A timber-framed Shomera studio sits discreetly to the side of the property, providing an ideal space for a serene home office, guest accommodation or creative retreat. Despite its idyllic and sylvan setting, Killough Cottage enjoys exceptional connectivity. The charm and village atmosphere of Enniskerry is quite literally on the doorstep, offering boutique shops, artisan cafés and a strong sense of community. The renowned Powerscourt Estate, including Powerscourt House and Gardens and the iconic Powerscourt Waterfall, are nearby, as is the five-star Powerscourt Hotel Resort & Spa. For commuters, this peaceful country haven remains within easy reach of Dublin city centre, approximately 35 minutes away via the N11 and M50. Regular bus services operate from Enniskerry and nearby Kilmacanogue, with DART services available from Bray and LUAS connections at Cherrywood. Dublin Airport is approximately 40 minutes away, offering a rare balance of rural tranquillity and urban accessibility. Outdoor enthusiasts are exceptionally well catered for, with the Wicklow Way, woodland trails, cycling routes and coastal sailing all within easy reach. Killough Cottage is far more than a home — it is a sanctuary immersed in nature, rich in character and perfectly positioned to offer the best of both worlds: timeless country living with a convenient connection to Dublin.
