The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Magnificent period residence on Ring of Kerry
‘STUNNING’ is perhaps the understatement of the year when describing Greenane Cottage in Templenoe, Kenmare, now up for sale by private treaty with joint agents, Tom Spillane Auctioneers, Killarney, and Charles McCarthy, Estate Agent, Skibbereen.
The property was once part of the historic Kenmare Lansdowne Estate and is situated just off the Ring of Kerry route with magnificent views of Kenmare Bay.
Set in a private and secluded location, this property sits on a half-an-acre site with a stunning Victorian gothic style main house and detached guesthouse which has retained its original cut stone façade. This guest house was formerly the old coach house and it has been beautifully restored. A separate double garage is also located on the premises.
The dwelling has been extended and renovated in recent years to include water mains and well supply, septic tank sewage disposal, oil-fired central heating and underfloor heating. Great care was taken during works to retain and enhance the home’s magnificent period features while installing a modern, comfortable feel.
Accommodation in the main house includes three ensuite bedrooms, office, utility, kitchen and living rooms which are spacious and welcoming with lots of natural light, while the guesthouse also comes with kitchen, living room and two ensuite bedrooms.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with numerous mature trees, attractive shrubbery and flowers laid out mostly on lawn with a private lane running through the property. A stone flagged south facing terrace is also an appealing feature.
Viewing is by appointment. Contact Tom Spillane Auctioneers at 064 6633066 or Charles McCarthy, Estate Agent on 028 21533.
