Glebe House is a stunning period gem set on 42 acres of picturesque landscape, offering unparalleled charm, history, and tranquillity. Tucked along a tree-lined country road, this magnificent home, built in 1828 and spanning 233sqm (2,508 sqft), features four beautifully appointed bedrooms and four bathrooms. With 1.5 kilometres of river frontage, it provides an idyllic sanctuary complemented by the most magical gardens, including a walled garden spanning over half an acre.


As you approach the house, the south-facing front porch welcomes you with its warm ambiance and beautiful stained-glass door. Stepping inside, the potential of Glebe House begins to unfold. While rich in character, this home is in need of total restoration, offering a blank canvas for those eager to breathe new life into a historic property and create a truly remarkable residence.


To the right of the main hallway, a spacious drawing room filled with natural light leads to an equally generous formal dining room, perfect for entertaining. French doors open to the spectacular gardens, a breathtaking highlight of the property. Beyond the dining room, the kitchen, which requires significant modernisation, offers a solid foundation for a future culinary haven, with a connected boot room providing access to the garage and basement for ample storage.


The ground floor also features a bright guest bedroom and the remarkable "Old Chapel" living room, boasting 4-meter-high ceilings, ornate mouldings, and tall windows that exude grandeur and history. Although the original features remain intact, the entire home requires full refurbishment to restore it to its former glory.


Upstairs, three well-positioned bedrooms overlook the magical gardens. The master includes an ensuite, while the other two share a bathroom and WC. While spacious and well-proportioned, all bedrooms and bathrooms will need updating to meet modern living standards.


The basement offers immense potential for transformation, ideal for a games room, additional bedrooms, utility areas, a pantry, or a wine cellar. Currently in need of extensive renovation, these spaces provide an exciting opportunity for expansion. With vision and thoughtful restoration, Glebe House can be revived into a truly extraordinary residence.


The true magic of Glebe House lies in its breathtaking 42-acre grounds, where tranquillity and natural beauty abound. The River Aughrim winds gracefully through the estate, offering stunning views of the surrounding elevated woodlands. Scattered remnants of old rail tracks quietly echo tales of the past, while the meticulously curated gardens reflect the owner's passion and dedication. Showcasing a remarkable collection of flowers, trees, and shrubs from around the world, this serene and picturesque retreat has earned its place in numerous garden magazines.


For golf enthusiasts, Woodenbridge Golf Club is just an eight-minute walk away, boasting a championship course set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush scenery. The golden sands of Brittas Bay are a short 22-minute drive, while Dublin and its international airport are just an hour away, ensuring convenient access to city life and beyond.


The property’s location will soon be further enhanced by the Arklow to Shillelagh Greenway, bringing a scenic cycle and walking path right to the edge of the grounds, an incredible amenity at your doorstep.


While Glebe House retains much of its original grandeur, it is in need of complete restoration, presenting an exciting opportunity to transform this historic home. With an F BER rating, homeowners can take advantage of available energy upgrade grants, and as the property is not protected, there is flexibility to extend and modernise it to suit contemporary living. This is a rare chance to breathe new life into a period home, blending its rich history with modern comforts in a truly spectacular setting.
