Description
DNG is honoured to present this unique and special property to the market, a historical house that is part of Sir Horace Plunkett's original mansion, first constructed in 1903, and rebuilt in 1923 after being extensively damaged during the War of Independence. Sir Horace Plunkett was a significant figure in Irish life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and 'Kilteragh' was his Dublin residence. Here, he entertained writers, artists, politicians and even the young revolutionaries of the time. HG Wells and Bernard Shaw visited the property amongst many others. Extending to approximately 261sq.m/2,809sq.ft. It is ideally positioned in this small exclusive enclave in the heart of Foxrock, offering the discerning buyer a perfect opportunity to create a truly special home of their own. No. 4 Kilteragh Pines enjoys a most impressive entrance, the original hall door to the 1903 mansion which was rebuilt in 1923 and divided into six unique residences.
The south facing garden is a delight, with original steps leading from the property to the very impressive private communal garden and estate. With prominent windows, the large rooms in the house are bright and light filled as they look out onto the gardens of wonderful clematis clad pergola, pathways and yew trees.
