A 19th-century hunting estate in Wicklow with a very modern twist
Lake Park House combines period elegance with contemporary comfort.
LAKE PARK HOUSE sits on the shore of Lough Dan near the village of Roundwood, Co Wicklow.
Built in 1835 as a shooting estate, remaining a rural retreat on its 110 acres of land, it was also once the home of novelist Edna O’Brien.
The Lake Park estate is now for sale at €3,500,000 with Ganly Walters via Daft.ie.
While period features in the formal reception rooms have been retained and restored, the house has also been added to in a sensitive contemporary style and features a number of very modern luxury fittings.
The modern kitchen and family room offer high vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace, with a range fitted as part of a contemporary kitchen.
Meanwhile, a beautiful conservatory looks out over the grounds and the Wicklow hills.
The whole house has been fitted with a German-designed heating system to ensure what the agent’s description calls “comfortable living”.
There are three bedrooms in the main family wing, all en suite, while a guest wing contains an additional three bedrooms and a bathroom. Oh, and a self-contained staff apartment.
On the estate is a restored walled garden with flowers, vines and fruit trees; by the lake is an area of oak woodland that has existed since the 16th century.
