Knocknadroose Cottage is a truly captivating home set on approximately c. 1.3 Acres / 0.56HA., enveloped by sweeping lawns, mature trees, vibrant planting, and charming native woodland, the setting is both private and idyllic. The property was completely reimagined by its current owners in 2014, taken back to its bare bones and thoughtfully transformed into a seamless fusion of classic Irish country charm and sleek, contemporary design. Designed by the award-winning Studio Red Architects in Dublin, the result is a home of rare character and effortless style. Inside, every detail has been carefully considered. From striking granite steps and dramatic vaulted ceilings to a cosy wood-burning stove, the home balances warmth with sophistication. The open plan layout creates a sense of light and space, rare in Irish cottages. The living room leads to a sleek, modern kitchen with clean lines and bespoke cabinetry. This opens through bi-fold doors onto the gardens, creating a perfect flow between indoor and outdoor living. A double bedroom is accessed to the other end of the home on this floor along with a family bathroom. Upstairs a mezzanine area creates a fantastic sense of architectural drama while doubling as an office (this could easily be converted to a third bedroom), while the second double bedroom with its oak floor and triple-aspect sits in the canopy of a mature willow tree. The beautifully appointed shower room and high-end finishes throughout ensure this home is truly turnkey.

The appeal continues outside with a superb bespoke detached cedar-clad studio which is fully insulated and complete with electric heating, a stylish shower room, and expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that invite the outdoors in. Whether used as a home office, creative space, or guest retreat, it offers exceptional flexibility and functionality.

The gardens are designed for both relaxation and enjoyment, featuring raised vegetable beds, a dedicated children's play area, and inviting spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. Surrounded by nature, the property exudes a sense of peace and tranquillity that's unequalled.
