Kilmurry Grove
Grace, luxury and lifestyle on approx. 5 acres with stunning Sugarloaf views
Hidden beyond granite walls and framed by sweeping lawns, Kilmurry Grove is more than a home, it's a lifestyle estate. For the family seeking privacy and space, for the equestrian enthusiast longing for paddocks and countryside freedom, for tennis enthusiasts, for the golfer who dreams of perfecting their swing at home, and for anyone who wants rural serenity without sacrificing city convenience, this exceptional period residence delivers it all. With views stretching to the Sugarloaf, gardens designed for leisure and entertaining, and exquisite interiors ready for modern family life, Kilmurry Grove offers a standard of living rarely found so close to Dublin. Here, children can run free, family and friends gather outdoors, and remote working is elevated by peace, beauty and space.
Dating from c.1830 and set on approximately 5 acres of beautifully matured gardens, Kilmurry Grove is a residence of elegance and character, lovingly enhanced by its current owners to create a home where heritage and contemporary comfort live in perfect harmony. Approached over a charming bridge, spanning a babbling brook and bordered by lush planting, the arrival experience sets the tone: this is a property that prioritises beauty, privacy and atmosphere.
Every part of the estate has been thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. Summer evenings unfold on the sheltered BBQ and party terrace, where guests dine long into the night. Days at home can begin with practice on the private tee box and putting green, and end with a friendly match on the tennis court. The gardens are both picturesque and practical, from manicured lawns to a large paddock, ideal for equestrian pursuits or potential future development (subject to planning). The delightful “monk’s hole”, a rare and charming feature, adds another layer of character and storytelling to this remarkable estate.
Stepping inside, the elegance of the residence is instantly evident. A walnut-floored entrance hall forms the central hub of the main reception rooms, where generous proportions and natural light combine to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The drawing room enjoys a dual aspect over the gardens and is centred around an open fire. To the left, the formal dining room leads to a delightful family room, home to the grand piano, which in turn opens to a welcoming sitting room arranged around another open hearth.
The kitchen is a generous family space, fitted with a high-quality solid wood kitchen and centred around the Aga, the warm heart of the home. An adjoining cosy room links the kitchen to the sitting room and works perfectly as a study, snug or playroom. The kitchen flows into a conservatory-style family room that brings the gardens into everyday living. A cleverly designed utility room includes an additional oven for when the Aga is resting, ensuring practicality is maximised.
Upstairs, the master suite is complemented by its own en-suite and dressing room. A further two double bedrooms with one also benefitting from an en-suite, while a generous single bedroom offers flexibility for family or guests. A large and luxurious family bathroom completes the upper level. Every room is a masterclass in interior design, with tasteful colours and luxurious textiles used throughout.
Outside, a studio and stick room provide additional versatility and benefit from previous planning permission (now lapsed) for a four-car garage with overhead accommodation, ideal for guests, staff, hobbies or work-from-home needs.
Kilmurry Grove is a rare blend of period grace, modern convenience and lifestyle excellence, an estate where families grow, memories are made, and every day feels like a retreat.
