Long Acre is a superbly upgraded and meticulously detailed four-bedroom country residence located in Crehelp, just outside the villages of Dunlavin and Hollywood, Co. Wicklow. Set on approx. 1.5 acres of private grounds, the property offers a rare combination of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort. Recently, the house has been thoughtfully reimagined to an exceptionally high standard using natural and reclaimed materials throughout, with every detail reflecting quality and care, featuring interiors by Number 10 Design.
Approached via electric entrance gates and a long stone driveway lined with mature beech trees, Long Acre is immediately impressive in both setting and scale. The property sits in an elevated position, with sweeping views of the Wicklow Mountains and surrounding countryside. The gardens are laid out in well-maintained lawns, edged with hand-cut granite kerbs, and backed by a forest garden planted with native Irish trees including lime, birch, alder, hazel, Scots pine, and beech. This landscape provides not only beauty and biodiversity but also a sense of privacy and stillness, rare even in rural settings.
Inside, the quality of materials and craftsmanship becomes immediately clear. The entrance hall is anchored by a bespoke cut-string staircase crafted from solid ash, with wide 40mm treads, a striking centrepiece that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Throughout the house, reclaimed pitch pine from former dockyard beams in Chelsea has been used for ceilings and flooring, lending the home rich texture, warmth, and character. Victorian-style clay tiles line the main reception hall, providing a subtle nod to traditional design.
The kitchen is the heart of Long Acre. Hand-built from Irish pippy oak with inset mahogany worktops, it combines form and function with elegance. A newly installed double AGA oven sits within a handcrafted brick surround, made from kiln-dried bricks sourced in Sheffield, adding both charm and warmth to the space. Integrated modern appliances are seamlessly built in, and a Belfast sink completes the classic country style.
The living areas are generous yet comfortable, offering flexibility for both family life and entertaining. Natural light is abundant, and the combination of natural wood, bespoke joinery, and solid materials creates a cohesive and calming environment throughout. The house has been future-proofed with zoned underfloor heating in every room, high-performance aluclad double-glazed windows, and a full insulation upgrade, achieving a strong B2 BER rating despite the presence of the AGA and fireplaces.
Each of the bathrooms has been completely refitted to a luxurious standard. The main bathroom features a freestanding ‘Roca' bathtub, natural stone tiles, and cedarwood panelling. All fittings are new and chosen to complement the home's natural aesthetic. The joinery, including all window panelling, cabinetry, and bathroom elements, was built on site by a local craftsman, adding further value and uniqueness to the home.
The house is also equipped with high-speed fibre broadband and has ample parking space for up to ten vehicles. Practical features include a mains water connection, bio-cycle septic system, and cast-iron gutters and downpipes that blend aesthetics with durability.
