Exquisite Country Estate With Breathtaking Sea Vistas

Kilquade Hill House, set within approximately five acres of mature gardens designed by award-winning landscapers, is an impressive country house in turnkey condition throughout. The house enjoys an accessible yet tranquil location whose elevated position offers delightful vistas over the surrounding countryside and outstanding sea views.

Believed to date from circa 1820 in classical Georgian style, the property was subject to a complete three-year build creating a manageable sporting estate. The result is an exceptionally comfortable and attractive home, where attention to design, detail, and quality has been paramount.

Maintaining the elegant proportions, grandeur, and symmetry of the Georgian era, the vendor reconfigured and built anew the interior, seamlessly pairing classical styling with contemporary design, thereby creating a much more functional and open space totaling approximately 390 square meters or 4,199 square feet. Superior quality materials are evident throughout, as well as many bespoke features and specialist finishes executed by craftsmen drawn from around Europe. With the exception of the reception hall and the bathrooms, the whole house features oak flooring. Also worth noting are triple-glazed windows which are draught-free, energy-efficient, and soundproofing for the house.

The house is entered through a stone portico and front door that opens to an impressive entrance hall with marble flooring. A feeling of harmonious proportion and balance is achieved in the entrance hall by four symmetrical doors and mirrored panels. The hall opens to the left into a formal drawing room featuring a fine bay window and to a library on the right featuring floor-to-ceiling fitted oak bookcases with fireplaces in both rooms. The library, hall, and drawing room open onto each other via sliding doors with wide openings thereby creating the feeling of continuous space in an enfilade design along with a serene and elegant atmosphere.

The entrance hall also leads into a dining room, a powder room, and the kitchen via an inner hall. The spacious custom integrated kitchen is fitted with a full suite of top-quality appliances and leads to a boot/mud room with separate side entrance.

The focal point of the house is the large conservatory built in stone with extensive exterior architectural mouldings. The conservatory is a luminous space featuring ten windows; double doors lead to a terraced areaand garden; it has a large skylight,a fireplace,and hand-painted wallpaper. This stunning room opens directly south ontoa terrace perfect for al-fresco diningand entertaining. The conservatory can be accessedfromthe dining roomand fromthe sitting room.
