Description
Montebello is perhaps Killiney's last intact Estate, comprising a magnificent early Victorian detached residence built circa 1860, standing in glorious mature, private and sun-drenched grounds of circa 3.7 acres to include original gate lodge, part two storey stables and courtyard with separate vehicular access.
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present Montebello to the market, a spectacular period home standing in fantastic mature gardens, set back from the sought after Killiney Hill Road in County Dublin and approached via a long sweeping gravelled driveway. Enjoying complete privacy and seclusion, this incredible family home stands on a plot of approx. 1.50 ha / 3.7 ac and includes a detached gate lodge, original stables, swimming pool and pool house to the rear.
The main hallway entrance really sets the scene with wonderful high ceilings with ornate plasterwork set above the elegant reception space with beautiful wooden pillars. The main living space is on this level and includes a light filled drawing room, an inter-connecting dining room, a conservatory / sunroom, a separate sitting room as well as the kitchen and breakfast room to the rear. The first-floor features seven bedrooms to include a bright and spacious main suite, as well as access to the second-floor roof terrace. The lower ground floor is incredibly versatile and could be used in a number of different ways, subject to the new owner's requirements.
OUTSIDE
Montebello stands on a magnificent plot of approx. 1.50 ha / 3.7 ac with large parkland style gardens to the front and beautiful formal gardens to the side and rear. There are ornate electric gates to the front from Killiney Hill Road with an entry phone security system. The long sweeping driveway leads to the front of the main house with parking space for numerous vehicles.
There is a detached gate lodge to the front of the plot. There are two separate stable blocks to the rear of the plot which are able to use separate access via double gated on to Church Avenue. The larger of the two blocks is positioned on the right-hand side of the courtyard and has an upper floor hay loft. There are further stables opposite as well as a covered wood store. This space is currently used as storage but could be restored and developed. The plot is surrounded by mature shrubs and trees providing complete privacy and seclusion from the surrounding area. There is an octagonal Victorian out house to the side with attractive stained-glass windows and wooden flooring. There is a lower ground floor garden store below this space. There is an active vegetable garden to the rear with a large glass house and separate compost area. There is a swimming pool to the rear with a detached pool house to include changing space, a shower and a sauna. There is an orchard style garden to the side as well as a number of patio seating areas.
