GLENEALY HOUSE IS a striking country house that offers complete privacy, generously-sized rooms and easy access to the coast, as well as Dublin. Finished in the late 1990s and crafted with timeless red-brick, the property has a floor area of just over 468 m and is positioned within 4.6 acres of beautiful gardens and mature woodland.

From the moment the electric gates open, the sense of grandeur is evident. A sweeping, tree-lined drive curves through manicured lawns and sculpted topiary before revealing the house that sits against a backdrop of distant hills. The grounds are as thoughtfully designed as the home itself and they offer meandering pathways, secluded seating spots, a garden room and even a putting green with practice tees.

Inside, Glenealy House has a great sense of refinement and warmth. An eye-catching reception hall, crowned by a Waterford Crystal chandelier, sets the tone for the rest of the home which comprises a sequence of elegant reception spaces designed for both everyday comfort and gracious entertaining.

The formal living room is lit by its dual-aspect windows, captures the great garden views and centres around a feature fireplace. A matching Waterford Crystal chandelier adds a touch of sparkle, balancing charm with sophistication. Across the hall, a cosy family room and a formal dining room create flexible spaces for every occasion.

A notable feature of the ground floor is its self-contained bedroom suite with a private entrance, which is ideal for guests. 

Upstairs, the landing is graced once again with Waterford Crystal lighting. This space leads to four more double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. The main suite is particularly impressive, offering both scale and serenity with its elevated outlook over the grounds and the countryside beyond.
