Description

Clonmannon Lodge was originally the gate lodge for the Clonmannon estate and is a delightful and unique residence. The original part of the house to the front was built in the 18th century and at the time was a two-bedroom cottage. It was completely rebuilt In 1989. Subsequently in 1996 a large contemporary extension designed by award winning architect Mary Donohoe was added. This part of the house is bright and spacious and takes full advantage of the beautiful undisturbed parkland setting as far as the eye can see. The property is entered over Clonmannon Estate Avenue and then through a entrance gate and is bounded by post and rail fencing on three sides and the outer side is bounded by the original slate stone wall of the Clonmannon Estate. The site is well sheltered by mature trees and beech hedging and is hidden from the road creating its own oasis of privacy and tranquillity. Clonmannon Lodge sits on approximately 0.3-plus of an acre and is well sheltered by mature trees and shrubbery.

Location

Ashford is just 25 miles from the city centre and only 20 from the southern suburbs of DunLaoghaire and Dalkey and 15 from Bray and 12 from Greystones. Ashford is famous its wonderful gardens at Mount Usher where many hours can dawdled away beside the Varty river or on any one of its sheltered paths. Ashford retains an old world charm rarely seen nowadays principally because of the many old farming estates and their beautiful and unspoilt parklands that envelop it and the Vartry which divides it. The land is fertile and rich and has many majestic and stately trees some of which are of national significance.
