Caoindruim
Old Russian Village
Kilquade
Co. Wicklow
A63 E176

Caoindruim is a traditional Russian-Village home extended with flair, while retaining character, in an idyllic lush garden setting. Kilquade is a hamlet at the gateway to the Garden County, a short distance south from Greystones, characterised by its pretty church. The brainchild of a Russian emigre who in the last century created a community of Dacha-style houses now known as The Russian Village, this exclusive location is sought after and appreciated by discerning buyers.
Caoindruim is an exceptionally special home; good enough for the late former president Cearbhall O’ Dalaigh to call “home” before being the base for two corporate executive owners and now coming to the market is sure to appeal to a wide audience of buyers. It retains oodles of character- atmospheric decorative plasterwork, and latch doors; happily combined with modern amenities in the shape of a custom kitchen, luxury bathrooms and a setting of the utmost privacy.

A central core comprising the original house with its gallery hall and traditional sitting room is complemented, first by an impressive purpose built bedroom wing to the south; then by a two-storey block comprising family room, boot room/utility, and integrated carport to the north. There are four more bedrooms upstairs, overlooking the grounds and lending versatility and choice to an already impressive home minutes’ drive from world-class Druids Glen Golf Resort, and so convenient to the N11/M11/M50 corridor making Dublin international airport possible in less than an hour’s drive.

The communities of Greystones and Delgany offer good school choices at primary and secondary level, some lovely coffee shops, inns and restaurants not to mention retail therapy and a host of leisure pursuits ranging from lawn bowls and bridge to tennis, rugby and GAA. This is a golfer’s mecca, with championship courses all within easy motoring distance through the delightfully scenic county of Wicklow

Extending to a living area of 308.22 sq. m/3,318 sq ft the versatile accommodation is laid out thus:

Caoindruim is approached from the county road by the quaint Russian Village shared private avenue, snaking between hedgerows and established garden boundaries to reach the private entrance revealing a tarmacadom apron past the Hall door and yielding through 90 degrees to the generous turning area and carport.
