JENKINSTOWN CASTLE JENKINSTOWN PARK, COUNTY KILKENNY, IRELAND A remarkable and attractive 19th-century castellated home in the Gothic Revival style and positioned within 6.7 acres [2.7 hectares] of private grounds, once part of an ancient demesne. Pleasant woodland walks can be enjoyed immediately adjacent to the gardens and medieval Kilkenny City is just a 10-minute drive. Occupying the site of a 12th-century castle, itself likely thought to have replaced a yet earlier castle, the origins of Jenkinstown Castle are truly ancient. The current manageable castle comprising some 6,663 square feet or 619 square metres of accommodation represents a portion of an early 19th-century house. The remainder demolished in the mid-20th-century. The present castle comprises a comfortable three-bedroom family home with three superb and decorative reception rooms, a spacious master bedroom suite, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and the oratory from the original mansion, now refurbished and used as a 100-seat auditorium theatre or function room. Substantial restoration works were completed circa 2015, and the castle has been well maintained since. Jenkinstown Castle is currently in use as a private family home with beneficial rental income from from the castle itself, three Shepard Huts on the grounds and occasional rental of the auditorium theatre, either as a theatre space or as a wedding venue. The picturesque position adjacent to the famed Jenkinstown Park woods quite irresistible. A solid timber gate set within a Gothic stone doorcase leads from the private gardens to a secluded Thomas Moore Garden [he wrote The Last Rose of Summe in the house] and onward to the old demesne walled gardens and woodland walking trails. Whilst adjacent to Jenkinstown Castle the main parking area for the walks is positioned away from the house and a high stone garden wall adds further privacy. The raised front door leads into a fine banquet hall, some 40 feet in length and with two matching black Kilkenny marble chimneypieces. Enjoying elevated views the drawing room is a particularly fine room with decorative ceiling plasterwork, a marble chimneypiece and the Gothic style ornamented windows. It leads to small study and stair hall that opens at ground level to an enclosed courtyard in the upper garden. The lower ground floor includes a pleasant family room with an open fireplace, a kitchen and WC. A spacious master bedroom suite on the upper floor enjoys particularly fine views and includes a bathroom and large walk-in wardrobe. There are two further bedrooms and a family shower room. A laundry room and sunroom are accessible from the enclosed courtyard. Suitable to continue as a manageable family home, possibly with scope for rental income alongside, or there is potential to possibly further increase the rental or venue income. While not currently in use the restoration works incorporated two insulated recording booths and a studio room into the auditorium space. A Gothic style passageway hall links the main house to the auditorium. Current permissions allow occasional commercial use with access independent of the main house and there are four toilets, one with wheelchair access. The Shepard Huts are not included in sale but are additionally available. Nearby Kilkenny city provides boutique shopping, a theatre and an array of eateries, restaurants, wine bars and pubs. The 12th-century castle, a bustling crafts scene, traditional pubs, cobbled lanes and secret alleys all make Kilkenny special and combined with a lively traditional music scene, art and design exhibitions, popular seasonal festivals and Michelin star restaurants the city is enthralling. Kilkenny College secondary school offers boarding (day and weekly). Dublin city and airport about 1 hour 30 minutes driving.

House Dublin (Ireland)
Situated on a wonderfully mature, private and secluded site on Ailesbury Road, The Grove is a substantial detached redbrick family home offering bright, well-proportioned accommodation throughout all benefiting from pleasant views over the wonderful gardens and grounds which surround the property. This fine family home is situated on a generous approx. 0.4 Acre (0.16 Ha) site on one of Ireland's most sought after and prestigious residential roads. The Grove is being offered to the market in conjunction with its neighbouring property Killead, 23 Shrewsbury Road. Combined the two properties stand on approximately 1.8acres (0.72Ha) on the corner of Shrewsbury Road and Ailesbury Road, Ireland's 2 most prestigious residential roads. The sale of both properties on the open market is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire two adjoining residences on the corner of Shrewsbury and Ailesbury Road, arguably the most exclusive residential real estate in Dublin. Approached via electronically operated timber entrance gates opposite the French Ambassador's Residence, The Grove is set well back from the road providing immense privacy and seclusion. There is ample off-street parking to the front and the entire site offers immense potential. Internally accommodation extends to approximately 250 sqm (2,691 sqft). At ground floor there is generous living accommodation to include a bright and welcoming entrance hall, 4 reception rooms, a well-appointed contemporary kitchen as well as a 5th bedroom. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, the primary bedroom with dressing room and ensuite bathroom as well as a family bathroom located on this level also. Whilst The Grove has been exceptionally well maintained and upgraded over the years, the ability to acquire a site for a detached house on such a secluded and well positioned site on Ailesbury Road rarely comes to the market and so it offers a tremendous opportunity for a purchaser to construct a substantial home of true distinction (subject to planning permission) in this most exclusive location. Ailesbury Road is one of the most prestigious residential roads in Ireland. A magnificent tree lined residential road comprising a mix of wonderful Victorian and modern architecture, this is an exceptionally sought after residential road. Popular with families and Embassy’s alike, all of whom appreciate the extreme convenience of this near city location, easily accessible to Dublin city as well as the Dublin coastline a short distance away.
