Greenane Cottage

A stunning period residence on the Ring of Kerry

STUNNING’ is perhaps the understatement of the year when describing Greenane Cottage, Templenoe, Kenmare, now for sale with a guide price of €1.2 million from 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 acre site with a stunning Victorian gothic style house and detached guesthouse which has retained its original cut stone façade. This guest house was formerly the old coach house and has been beautifully restored. A separate double garage is also located on the premises.

The dwelling has also been extended and renovated in recent years to include water mains and well supply, septic tank sewerage 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 five en-suite bedrooms, office, utility, kitchen and living rooms which are spacious and welcoming to natural light, while the guesthouse also comes with a kitchen, living room and two en-suite bedrooms.

The grounds are delightful and wonderfully landscaped with numerous mature trees, attractive shrubbery and flowers laid out along the fringe of the lawn with a private lane running through the property. A stone flagged, south facing terrace is also an appealing feature.

This is the ultimate dream property, especially for those who believe their residence should have that touch of antiquity while still enjoying all the comforts of a modern home. Its leafy surrounds and scenic spender give this property an exceptional advantage and if that wasn’t enough, its location is undoubtedly in one of the most charming parts of Kerry, or indeed the southwest.
