Property Description

Kilkeanna Cottage is a beautifully presented home, set on approx. 2.82 acres in one of the most peaceful and scenic settings just 5.7 km from Kenmare town.

Surrounded by mature trees, low stone walls, flower beds, and a meandering stream along the western boundary, this secluded property offers privacy and exceptional natural beauty. The grounds are a blank canvas for garden enthusiasts — ideal for anyone wishing to put their own stamp on a truly special outdoor space.

With breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valley, this property would suit those seeking a private rural escape with the convenience of Kenmare nearby.

The cottage dates back to 1832 and was renovated to a high standard in 2006. Many of the original features have been thoughtfully retained, including a character-filled feature fireplace with a modern wood-burning stove, low timber ceilings, deep-set window sills, and original single-glazed windows, all contributing to the cottage’s authentic charm and warmth.

The cottage, extending to approximately 123 sqm., is set over two floors. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting entrance hall that leads to the main living area and a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Off the living room is a cosy kitchen and a charming dining/garden room that overlooks the grounds. The first floor comprises a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a modern shower room, offering comfortable accommodation for family or guests.

Its centrepiece is a striking open fireplace, complete with an ornate bellows system, adding unique charm and historical interest.
