Built around 1880, this stunning property exemplifies the best of Victorian architecture, featuring a rich red brick façade, intricate wrought-iron railings, and a beautifully preserved entrance porch. The property’s prestigious history includes its tenure as the official residence of the Danish ambassador, further enhancing its distinguished provenance. A recent refurbishment has brought the interior to the highest standards, seamlessly merging the elegance of a bygone era with the conveniences of contemporary living.

Set within 2.6 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, Kilbride Hill House provides a serene and private retreat. The estate is complete with remnants of a sunken garden and a walled kitchen garden, both of which speak to its storied past. The house enjoys an elevated position, offering sweeping views of the surrounding area, including a recent housing development on what were once the estate’s original grounds. This modern addition to the landscape has been designed to complement the historical significance of Kilbride Hill House, ensuring that it remains the centrepiece of the estate.
Located near Bray village and within easy access to Dublin, Kilbride Hill House offers the best of both worlds: a tranquil country setting with the convenience of urban amenities just a short drive away.
