Description

A magnificent Georgian house set on the scenic Ring of Kerry with sea views History Originally built in 1823 by William Jermyn, Scart House has been merited with national recognition and awards in the late 1990's for its history of conservation works protecting its architectural and period features. It is also famous as being the birthplace of James Franklin Fuller, one of Ireland's foremost Victorian architects and responsible for some of the country's finest works of art including Kylemore Abbey, Ashford Castle, Parknasilla, Farmleigh and the Gardener's Lodge in St Stephens Green. Description Scart House is a truly wonderful Georgian country and coastal house which is one of the finest restorations for a property of its era in South Kerry. Situated in a sheltered glade just 400m from the shoreline, its unrivalled location directly on the Ring of Kerry enhances its appeal alongside its beautiful example of Georgian architectural design. Built on a H-plan, it is a three-bay, single-storey over raised basement house and the roof is capped with Valentia slate. Extensive restoration works of the property have been undertaken during a thirty-year period, including works to the original roof in 2007. Fronted by stone piers, the imposing residence is approached by an impressive avenue with mature trees on each side. A flight of steps leads up to the front door with fan light above, which is at first floor level of the South gable and opens into a wide entrance hall with two of the six reception rooms on either side. On the right is a dining room for entertaining and a drawing room on the left. A central hallway connects to the master bedroom of the house and two further double bedrooms on the first floor with a bathroom. The main living accommodation is on the ground floor level with kitchen, pantry, utility room, WC, study, main bathroom and two further bedrooms. The interior over the two floors is characteristic of its Georgian era with ornate cornicing, sash windows and architraves and all renovated to a beautiful contemporary design. Gardens and Grounds Set within private grounds of about 1.42 acres (0.60 hectares) in total, the grounds are well presented and divided amongst gardens, lawns and paddocks. A range of outbuildings on the grounds include outdoor wood cabin, log shed and a traditional stone cut outhouse. There is also a herb garden, orchard, glasshouse and a pagola covers a stone patio on the western side of the house, ideal for watching the sun set.
