Funny Hall, Drangoonhill, Hollywood, Wicklow

A Seamless Blend of Heritage, Craftsmanship & Contemporary Comfort

This beautifully restored stone-built cottage, with its barn-style Quonset extension is a masterclass in thoughtful design and timeless appeal. Finished to an exceptional standard, the property offers the perfect marriage of traditional character and modern luxury — set amidst rolling countryside just minutes from the charming village of Hollywood.

Throughout, the palette of materials has been carefully curated to reflect the home’s natural surroundings. With a focus on sustainable and crafted elements, including French oak, the interiors strike a perfect balance between rustic charm and refined simplicity. Floor-to-ceiling glazing in the extended area enhances the connection between inside and out, while the earthy, organic tones lend a sense of calm and quiet luxury. The result is a pared-back, textural and deeply comfortable retreat that feels utterly in harmony with its setting.

At the heart of the home lies a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and family room — complete with bespoke cabinetry and premium appliances — ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large sliding doors leading to the garden and orchard offering a serene outdoor space for dining, relaxing or soaking up the sun.

The ground floor also comprises a welcoming entrance hall, two double bedrooms and one single bedroom, a shower room, a guest WC, and a fully fitted utility room — all finished to an impeccable standard. A mezzanine level overlooks the living space.

Externally, the grounds are a true highlight. Set on approx. ¾ acre, the gardens have been designed with equal care and intent — from the flourishing orchard and native wildflower meadow to the expansive lawns that surround the property. There is a seamless link between the interior to the outdoors, while a large Danish-style workshop provides outstanding potential for a creative studio, workspace or further accommodation (subject to planning).

The property is approached via a private, gated driveway offering ample parking for multiple vehicles, and is surrounded by hedgerows and mature landscaping that ensures peace and privacy.

Just a 10-minute walk along the historic St. Kevin’s Way leads to the village of Hollywood with its welcoming community, pubs and cafes. Blessington is also nearby, offering a wide range of amenities.

Seamlessly embedded into its rolling countryside surroundings, this home has been thoughtfully crafted using natural, carefully considered materials and finishes. Every element has been designed by a highly specialised team, ensuring a harmonious blend of architecture and landscape.

This home is a rare offering — a carefully considered, environmentally mindful restoration that honours the original structure while elevating it into something really special. A peaceful country retreat with modern comforts and enduring charm.

The property sits along St. Kevin’s Way which is a 30 km historic pilgrim trail following the 6th-century journey of Saint Kevin from Hollywood to the monastic site at Glendalough. The route winds through the scenic Wicklow Mountains, combining natural beauty with spiritual significance. Highlights include the Wicklow Gap, the trail’s highest point at 475 metres with stunning views and Glendalough a renowned monastic site with ancient ruins and a round tower.
