A Co Wicklow property goes under the hammer in mid-May and you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the reason the Garden County received its title.
Appearing like it was plucked from a fairytale, Glebe House is surrounded by mature gardens and woodland close to the historic Wicklow village of Woodenbridge. Listed with Quinn Property, this offering is rich in character while still allowing a prospective purchaser ample opportunity to put their own stamp on the residence.
Located adjacent to the prestigious Woodenbridge Hotel and Golf Course, one of Ireland`s oldest hotels, this property is a short distance from where John Redmond gave his famous speech in the early days of the First World War. The leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party called on members of the Irish Volunteers to join the British Army in the hope of securing Home Rule after the war.
The house and it surrounds hark back to that time in their appearance. Built in 1828, the residence retains much of its original character.
French doors open to the spectacular gardens from both the dining and drawing rooms. While the kitchen requires modernisation, it offers plenty scope for the new owner to do so.
Glebe House is set among well-manicured mature gardens.
Old Chapel
Dubbed the ‘Old Chapel’, the living room, boasts ceilings that are 4m in height and ornate mouldings and tall windows exude grandeur. Along with the aforementioned rooms, the ground floor also features a bright guest bedroom.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms which overlook the magnificent gardens. There is an ensuite in the master bedroom with a bathroom also present on the first floor. If that isn’t enough accommodation, there is also a basement which offers plenty potential to be developed into further bedrooms or as a pantry. The basement as well as a garage can be accessed from the kitchen.
There is ample parking to the front of the house.
Although it’s almost 200 years old, the house still has modern conveniences such as electric and solid fuel central heating.
The gardens are phenomenal and showcase a remarkable collection of flowers, trees, and shrubs from around the globe. The serene and picturesque scenes created there have graced the pages of numerous garden magazines. It also features a walled garden spanning over half an acre.
Accompanying the gardens there is a stable block close to the house and plenty of grazing available too in the land which runs down the river bank.
