Shillelagh is a 17th century village renowned for its stone built buildings built by the Coolattin Estate. It is situated on the banks of the Derry River, at the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains and has two primary schools, churches, supermarket, pubs and hosts one of the best 18 hole Golf Courses in Ireland at Coolattin Golf Club. The village is close to many sporting and outdoor activities, notably Tomnafinnogue Woods and the Wicklow Way. The area also hosts an array of sporting pursuits including horse-riding, football, hurling, soccer, & fishing. The property is 6km from Parkbridge, 10km from Clonegal, 9km from Carnew, 25km from Gorey, 30km from Carlow and 16km from Tullow. The residence is approached via a pebbled driveway that extends all around the house. The front showcases beautiful well maintained lawns with mature trees, shrubs and hedging whilst to the rear of the house there is a large garden with lawns, mature hedging and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The house is presented in good condition throughout and will make a perfect family home. A point of interest and nostalgia for music lovers is that this property was formerly the childhood home of the famous Irish singer, Joe Dolan.
