The Property
Firmount House is a lovingly and beautifully restored part Georgian, mostly Victorian property that rests on over seven acres of spectacular Kildare parklands. This private and mature setting is mainly covered by a rich green lawn which allows beautiful unobstructed views of the countryside to seep in through the main house windows. Yet also resting throughout this fabulous plot you will find wonderful trees. They allow shelter and privacy where necessary and compliment the layout of the entire. Some of the specimens are over two centuries old and include stunning Sequoia and Copper Beech trees. The lot consists of two fine residences. This site is a historical gem that awaits a new owner. It can be discovered a mere forty minutes from Dublin, just outside the town of Clane.
The main house is a remarkable sight to see as you make your way up the staggering gravel drive. This residence is resplendent in her stature and entices you instantly to enter and behold her ample proportions. It stands three storeys high (over basement) and offers approx. 13,000 sq.ft of painstakingly preserved and restored accommodation. The property has, in more recent times, hosted peaceful retreats, beautiful weddings, photo shoots, and many other events, as well as being a family private residence, with additional unused planning permission to operate a cafe/restaurant in the main house. It is more than comfortably equipped to do so. There is abundant parking, a HSE approved kitchen and a magnificent space that can allow up to 110 people to dine in style and luxury.
The Doctor`s House is an attractive building sitting Northwest of the main house. It was given a major overhaul and featured on RTE`s Room to Improve` in 2013 with renowned architect Dermot Bannon. The property was transformed into what is now a stunning family home. It boasts a B2 energy rating thanks to the calibre of work gone into making it a cosy and yet contemporary residence. With an impressive double height window in the open plan kitchen/living room, an indoor barbeque area, and five bedrooms, this home centers around bringing people together. It has a sense of privacy and a fabulous back garden surrounded by trees with a raised patio and lawn area suitable to play, host or simply relax and appreciate where you are. A fantastic cut stone studio can also be found to the rear of the property. This studio comes complete with a kitchenette, shower room and mezzanine level. It provides plenty of space for guests or to work from home if necessary.
Every need is catered for and more with this exciting listing. Firmount House has a truly colourful past and it is time to pass on the baton to see what the future holds.
