Secluded six-bedroom house with stunning original features set on over an acre of well-tended grounds
Druid Lodge is a wonderfully private, historical and storied home overlooking the sea in Killiney . Part-Victorian, part-Georgian, it is set on 1.2 acres of well-tended grounds. Hidden completely from the road, the laurel-laden entrance opens on to a gravelled sweep with immediate sea views on display. John Blake Dillon, the politician and Young Irelander who was exiled to the US in 1848, later returned to Ireland and married Adelaide Hart, niece of the property’s owner.
One of the owners had a keen interest in architecture and art, and the fruits of his work are to be seen all over the protected, Ber-exempt house, in the meticulously restored and preserved original woodwork.
Stairs from the main entrance lead to the first-floor return; this is the Georgian part of the house, and the return hall has a wood-panelled sittingroom with sunroom that served as a study for the owner. Behind it lies the terracotta-tiled kitchen. This is a gorgeous space with two tall wood-framed windows with benches. An old Aga heats the room and the copious cupboards were hand-built using shutters salvaged from the Sacred Heart Convent on Leeson Street.
