迷人的弓形前乔治亚风格乡村住宅,其历史可追溯至 1780 年,享有宁静如画的河谷位置,可欣赏延伸至布莱克斯泰尔斯山脉 (Blackstairs Mountains) 的田园风光,还可在下方蜿蜒的斯兰尼 (Slaney) 河上钓鱼。距离都柏林市中心约 121 公里[75 英里]。
Clohamon House 地势较高,占地约 23 英亩(9 公顷),完全私密,代表着乡村田园风光。一条碎石车道通向房屋前面的前院,或转向房屋后面的庭院。庭院风景如画,拥有大量单层和阁楼外露的石头附属建筑,这些附属建筑与房屋、围墙花园相连,并通过一个迷人的拱门通向外部农庄,该农庄设有一个带马厩(4)的大谷仓、一间客用小屋、机械店和干草仓。一座古老的钟楼,虽然没有钟,但令人印象深刻。花园具有适当的正式性,包括修剪的盒子树篱和深思熟虑的布局,但在很大程度上展示了与山谷周围无缝连接的非正式性。最近种植的树木和灌木成熟的标本得到了很好的增强。
优雅的西南向前立面包括一个大型接待厅、一间餐厅和客厅。大厅设有精美的木雕楼梯,可直接通向非正式的家庭活动室和乡村风格的厨房。每间客房均提供舒适的独立空间,或轻松组合成一流的娱乐套房。一层设有书房、办公室、客用卫生间、酒窖和餐具室。楼上有2间浴室、3间淋浴间和7间卧室,其中两间卧室是套房,一间带浴室套间,另一间带淋浴间。升级工程于 1998 年至 2000 年间进行。相邻的挤奶女佣公寓位于房屋后面的一个小庭院内,面积约 31 平方米(333 平方英尺),设有客厅、卧室和淋浴间。房屋总面积约为 5,921 平方英尺(即 550 平方米)。
宾客小屋“The Granary”可从后车道或主车道旁的房屋庭院进入。玻璃入口门廊通向一个大型中央起居空间,该起居空间拥有大教堂风格的天花板,并通向一个小厨房和舒适的空间,其中有一个固体燃料炉和通往花园露台的双法式门。双楼梯通向两间卧室,还有一间浴室和淋浴间。虽然需要一些升级,但它有一个有趣的布局,并且看起来结构合理。住宿总面积约为 1,520 平方英尺(141 平方米)。
目前这座 18 世纪的房屋被认为是成功的,并且可能部分或全部合并了一座 17 世纪早期的长房屋,即克罗哈蒙城堡 (Clohamon Castle)。这些建于 1780 年左右的作品,在 1839 年左右增建了石头附属建筑和围墙花园,进一步丰富了这些作品。风景如画的石头附属建筑和对称的房屋正面以及弯曲的中央双高弓和平衡良好的窗户,展现了令人钦佩的建筑优点。玻璃尤其令人印象深刻。设计和房屋位置经过深思熟虑,旨在最大限度地欣赏后面山区背景的河谷全景。这种建筑优点与丰富的出处相匹配,著名的历史业主包括沃尔特·斯威特曼(Walter Sweetman),他是《整夜》(Through the Night) (1869) 和《罗兰·基恩:爱尔兰素描》(Rowland Kyan: An Irish Sketch) (1896) 的作者,以及 Levinge 家族,其中包括理查德·莱文奇爵士 (Sir Richard Levinge)。 Arthur Guinness & Co. 的经理,与著名制图师 Captain R.G.A. 有亲戚关系。 Levinge 于 1835 年左右参与绘制了美国和加拿大部分边境的地图。
A charming bow-fronted Georgian country home dating to 1780 and enjoying a serenely picturesque river valley position with bucolic views extending to the Blackstairs Mountains and a stretch of fishing on the meandering river Slaney below. Dublin city centre some 75 miles [121 km] driving distance.
Enjoying an elevated position within some 23 acres [9h hectares] Clohamon House is utterly private and represents a rural idyll. A gravelled drive sweeps to a forecourt in front of the house or diverts to the courtyard behind the house. Extremely picturesque the courtyard has an extensive range of single storey and lofted exposed stone outbuildings, which links to the house, the walled garden and through an attractive archway to the outer farmstead, which has a large barn with stables (4), a guest cottage, machinery store and hay barn. An old belfry, although missing its bell, is impressive. The gardens include suitable formality with topiary box hedging and a thought-out layout but largely display an informality that links seamlessly with the valley surrounds. Mature specimen trees and shrubs have been nicely augmented by more recent plantings.
The elegant southwest facing front façade comprises a large reception hall, a dining room and drawing room. The hall has a fine carved timber staircase and leads directly to an informal family room and the country-style kitchen. Each room provides comfortable individual spaces or easily combine to create a superb entertainment suite. A study, office(s), guest WC, wine cellar and scullery complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there are 2 bathrooms, 3 shower rooms and 7 bedrooms, two of the bedrooms being suites, one with a bathroom ensuite and another with a shower room. Upgrading works were carried out between 1998 and 2000. An adjacent Dairy Maid’s Apartment positioned within a small courtyard behind the house extends to some 333 square feet [31 square meters] and has a living room, a bedroom and shower room. In all the house comprises some 5,921 square feet or 550 square meters of accommodation.
The guest cottage, The Granary, can be accessed from the rear drive or from the house courtyard off the main drive. A glazed entrance porch leads into a large central living space which has a cathedral style ceiling and opens into a small galley kitchen and snug space, which has a solid fuel stove and double French doors to a garden terrace. Twin staircases lead to 2 bedrooms and there is a bathroom and shower room. While in need of some upgrading it has a fun layout and appears structurally sound. In all about 1,520 square feet [141 square meters] of accommodation.
The present 18th-century house is thought to succeed and likely incorporate, in part or full, an earlier 17th-century long house known as Clohamon Castle. These works in circa 1780 being augmented by the addition of the stone outbuildings and walled garden in circa 1839. Displaying admirable architectural merit throughout the picturesque stone outbuildings and symmetrical front façade of the house with the curved central double height bow and well-balanced windows and glazing are particularly impressive. The design and house position deliberate to maximise the panoramic river valley vistas to the mountainous backdrop behind. This architectural merit is matched by a rich provenance with notable historic owners including Walter Sweetman, author of ‘Through the Night’ (1869) and ‘Rowland Kyan: An Irish Sketch’ (1896) and the Levinge family, including Sir Richard Levinge who was a manager in Arthur Guinness & Co. and related to the renowned cartographer Captain R.G.A. Levinge, who was involved in mapping part of the US and Canada border circa 1835.
