Feel like the king (or queen) of your own castle with your very own dry moat

IF your home is your castle, then it helps to have a moat. don’t you think? Today’s property, a regency residency dating back to 1820 set amidst an acre of landscaped gardens, has the very thing, a dry moat that encircles its sides and rear.

Enniskerry Lodge was originally a stage coach for the Powerscourt Estate.

The elevated property is approached along a sweeping driveway fringed by mature trees.

There is a vast hallway which sets the tone for the accommodation throughout. There are four reception rooms at this level.

At garden level a central hallway leads to an ideal entertainment room with curved bay detail.

A spacious kitchen, a study and large utility room complete the accommodation at this level.

Upstairs there are four spacious bedrooms – all generously proportioned and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom and enjoys a sunny southerly aspect with curved bay wall.

The gardens and grounds of Enniskerry Lodge are sumptuous.

There is a vast array of mature trees including oak, pine and chestnut.

The grounds are truly an oasis of peace and tranquillity with numerous connecting sections with simple openings and meandering pathways leading to each unique separate space.

The property is only a 30-minute drive to Dublin City Centre.
