Dalkey
Lodge, which dates to c. 1660, is the oldest surviving house in the heritage
town of Dalkey. The house stands on just over an acre of mature, walled gardens,
just a few minutes stroll from Dalkey village.
Historical
Elegance
Extensive refurbishments have resulted in a unique combination of luxury
and historical elegance. The house is centrally heated with double-glazing,
and is fully carpeted except for the beautifully tiled hallway and parquet
floored games room. Renovations have been carried out sensitively, with
care being taken to preserve the original features such as the fine plasterwork,
period fireplaces and inglenook seating. Each room has its own, individual
décor and style.
A
Local Landmark
A significant landmark in the area, the house has been continually occupied
since it was built. Local records document its various owners and visitors,
attracted by its unique charm and character.
