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 adding large rooms boasting high lofted ceilings with exposed wood beams and 11 skylights which, along with the extensive glazing, flood these spaces with superb natural light.
The property is presented in excellent condition with solid wood flooring, a pretty robin egg blue fully equipped country kitchen, attractive red brick fireplaces and ached doorways, and ancient chimneys and hearths.The main living room is a bright and expansive space with an apex window on one end and a dramatic hearth on the other. This house also incorporates a primary bedroom suite extending to over 70 square metres with a jacuzzi bathtub, wet room, dressing room and relaxing lounge area as well as the spacious king size bedroom with French doors leading to the back garden. In addition there is a second exceptionally large ensuite bedroom and two more spacious double bedrooms.
This property is accessed through electric gates at the end of a short laneway off Sea Road. To the front is a gravelled parking area with space for four or more cars. Most of the land is to the rear where it is very private, surrounded by trees and shrubs. There is a large sun patio, a second paved play area, and an extensive lawn with a palm tree, rose garden and play area with swing set, wendy house and a tree house slide.
Cedar Lodge is situated on Sea Road which leads from the town of Kilcoole to the sea and the train station, This forms part of the popular Ballygannon walking loop.
Kilcoole is the next stop on the southeast coastal train line past Greystones. It is a growing village community with a good range of shops (Tesco, Centra, boutique stores), primary and secondary schools and nearby sports clubs (GAA, soccer, athletics, rugby, golf, rowing, fishing, swimming, walking, sailing, tennis). 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.
This property has registred title which should greatly simplify the conveyancing process.
