Description
Cedar Lodge is a large bungalow sitting on 1/3 acre of secluded gardens. It is a unique property with immense charm dating back to circa 1840 when it formed part of a health resort. The 2ft thick walls easily identify the older parts. It was extended to the rear and to the side circa 2000 adding large rooms boasting high lofted ceilings with exposed wood beams. 11 skylights and wall-to-wall glazing flood these spaces with superb natural light.

Nearby facilities include the Arboretum in Kilquade, Glenroe petting farm and Druids Glen Golf Club and Resort, It has a stony beach popular for walking and sea swimming. It provides easy access to local towns such as Greystones, Delgany and Enniskerry, and is within easy commuting distance of Dublin by car, bus or train.
Kilcoole has a rich history. Kilcoole Rock is a rocky outcrop which was an easily defended site in ancient times. In the early Christan era monks from St. Comgall`s monastery in Bangor established a monastery here, giving the town it`s name. The remaining ruined church may date from the 12th century. In Victorian times it was known as a seaside health resort.
