Brandon View
This exquisitely designed former glebe house has been meticulously restored by its current owners, serving as a testament to an era that celebrated timeless craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.

The journey begins with original cut stone steps leading to a classical Georgian front door adorned with a decorative fanlight. Upon entering, you are greeted by a light-filled entrance hall featuring tall ceilings, solid wood floors, and a cast-iron radiator that imparts warmth and character to the space.

To the right, discover the kitchen, a perfect fusion of traditional and contemporary. Two walls are painted in inviting black tones, contrasting elegantly with crisp white walls to create a welcoming and stylish environment. Illuminated by three large sash windows, two of which are accompanied by cushioned window seats offering serene views of Brandon Hill, the kitchen is anchored by an open fire. White cabinetry with gold hardware, an island unit, an AGA, and a delightful dining area complete the space, making it both functional and aesthetically striking.

On the opposite side of the hall, the living room features two large sash windows with comfortable seats, solid wood floors, and a wood-burning stove beneath an Adams-style fireplace, creating a perfect setting for family gatherings and relaxed evenings.

Ascending the main staircase to the first floor, a door on the return landing opens onto a balcony overlooking the walled garden, a tranquil space to enjoy the morning sun with a cup of coffee.

The master bedroom is a sanctuary of luxury and comfort, with wooden floors painted in a crisp white hue, creating a minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired ambience. The adjoining ensuite doubles as the main bathroom on this floor and includes a double sink, contemporary wet room shower, traditional freestanding bathtub, and a high tank pull-chain toilet. This level also features a generously sized walk-in closet and two additional bedrooms, one double and one single, both offering splendid views of the surrounding grounds.

The basement has been thoughtfully renovated to provide versatile living accommodation, ideal for a family member, Au Pair, or home office. A cosy office area welcomes you at the foot of the stairs. To the left, a spacious double bedroom features an exposed original brick wall and an exquisite mantlepiece, while to the right, a multifunctional home cinema room awaits. This space is equipped with a kitchenette, a peninsula island with seating for three, and a bathroom with a toilet, handbasin, and shower. Underfloor heating ensures warmth throughout the basement, enhancing comfort and functionality.

Additional features include double-glazed sash windows throughout, a new boiler and water tank, a heating system integrated with a smart phone app, and fiber optic high-speed internet, providing the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience.


GARDENS

Upon entering through period cast iron electric gates, Brandon View unveils an enchanting panorama. The sweeping avenue guides you toward the majestic Brandon Hill, stretching as far as the eye can see. The journey culminates in a gravel turning circle, framed by a low, semi-circular wall thoughtfully designed so as not to obscure the breathtaking scenery.

Beyond this, the grounds open into a superb setting comprising three large paddocks, all contained within one continuous land holding and ideally suited for grazing and exercise. The paddocks are bounded by mature hedging, providing natural shelter and clear definition to each field. The gentle topography falls naturally towards the River Barrow, with the fields fronting onto the river. A gravel path leads to steps descending from the lawns to the paddocks below, while towering, mature evergreen trees frame the landscape. From across the land, there are truly spectacular views over the River Barrow and its adjoining walkway, creating a rare and picturesque riverside setting.

Enhancing the appeal of the grounds further is a delightful apple and pear orchard, offering both seasonal beauty and the charm of homegrown produce, perfectly complementing the property's idyllic rural setting.

Adjacent to the main residence, meticulously maintained lawns and vibrant gardens create a serene and inviting setting. To the rear, a charming enclosed walled garden opens from the back door, forming a private oasis. Here, pristine lawns and a cobbled patio area provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. A small, conveniently located shed serves practical gardening needs with dedicated storage for equipment.

Completing the rear aspect is a substantial American-style barn housing a range of stables, ideal for equestrian enthusiasts wishing to combine luxury living with a passion for horses. The barn offers exceptional potential for a variety of uses including additional stabling, a car garage, guest accommodation, or further ancillary space, subject to the necessary permissions. The property benefits from separate troughs and water supply for animals, connected to the parish water scheme, independent of the main household well.

Additionally, the current owners have rented portions of the land to a local farmer, offering a potential supplementary revenue stream without additional labour.


LOCATION

Brandon View is nestled in Saint Mullins village, a place rich in cultural heritage with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Just steps from the property, the River Barrow walkway provides a stunning setting for leisurely walks or cycling. Stop by the welcoming Mullichain Café & Bike Hire for a selection of sweet and savoury treats or rent an ecofriendly bike to explore the area. For a unique wellness experience, visit the newly opened Heron Sauna next to the café, featuring a plunge pool, cold shower, a woodfired sauna, and freshly brewed coffee. The local pub, just a twominute stroll away, is the perfect spot for a relaxed evening. Nearby, Mulvarra House, a yoga studio and wellness retreat centre overlooking the Barrow, offers regular classes and retreats.

This property offers excellent accessibility, as it is approx. 7.2km from the town of Graiguenamanagh, a vibrant town boasting supermarkets, pubs, and restaurants to cater to all your needs. Moreover, Kilkenny city, a mere 40minute drive away, opens up a world of culture, boutique shopping and fine dining, ensuring that your desire for both rural serenity and urban amenities is effortlessly met.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Country Homes, Farms and Estates

176 Pembroke Road Ballsbridge Dublin D04 EN80

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
