Property round-up: 3 luxe Irish homes on the market for under €2.2 million

Glen Cottage, Kilmacullagh, Newtownmountkennedy, Wicklow, €1,050,000 

Originally a single-storey farmhouse, Glen Cottage has expanded over the years and now includes a 19th-century addition which reads as the principal building. Current owners acquired the building in 1986 along with approximately four acres of land. 

During recent renovations, a new large integrative utility block was added to the north side, serving all of the primary spaces in the house. The kitchen/dining room was moved to the south-facing single-storey section of the house, creating a stronger connection between the house and the garden as well as providing an excellent space for family dining and entertaining.

Bright and spacious with modern touches, the decor is warm and inviting yet tasteful too. Externally, the property is approached via a curved driveway which continues around the house to provide ample parking. Virginia Creeper covers the two-storey front elevation of the house with Wisteria adorning the southern elevation.
