Description
This is a private house and grounds. WE are situated on the River Blackwater and over looking the Nagle hills. This is a very peaceful and rural setting. We have lived here 12 years and have restored the house and now we are concentrating on the grounds. WE have a walled vegetable garden and woodland that is in need of help with clearing etc. We are a husband and wife team with three adult children, two of whom live in London and the youngest is home during the holidays. I run an interior design business from my studio in the house and my husband is busy in the garden and helping me with the business. We live in a Georgian house and there is plenty of room and we have two dogs Reggie and Minty.
