DESCRIPTION

Situated in the heart of the Dingle Peninsula along the iconic Wild Atlantic Way, The Old Creamery stands as a testament to sensitive restoration and stylish design curated by WCD Interiors. This fine property effortlessly blends the vernacular charm of the region with eclectic and industrial elements. This unique home, comprising a beautifully restored creamery linked to a luxurious house via an elegant glass walkway, offers a living experience that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in history.

THE OLD CREAMERY

As you step inside, you are greeted by an inviting light filled entrance hall where the fusion of old and new becomes immediately apparent. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, and the tiled flooring, accentuated by mood lighting, leads you through to a foyer. With its cloak area and main staircase, this is the perfect introduction to the luxurious spaces that lie beyond.
To the right, an open-plan kitchen area provides lovely views over the meticulously landscaped gardens and courtyard. The kitchen is a blend of country charm and modern convenience, featuring custom-made cabinetry, a central solid butcher's block with matching stools, and an array of high-end appliances, including an AEG induction hob and oven with a steam function, along with an integrated dishwasher and sink with a bronzed copper faucet. The space is further enhanced by bespoke features such as olive wood window sills and an original 1860 Irish shelf unit.
The adjoining dining and living area, with its handcrafted olive wood accents, offers a cosy space for evening relaxation or an intimate setting for entertaining guests. The downstairs bathroom, styled in a period aesthetic with a roll-top bath, bespoke vanity unit with a marble top, and a Fired Earth sink, adds a touch of timeless elegance. Off this room is the plant room/utility, which houses the air-to-water heat pump that heats this section of the property.
Upstairs, two beautifully finished bedrooms await, each designed to accommodate super king-sized beds and featuring en-suite shower rooms. The bathrooms are a blend of luxury and style, with marble floor tiles from Fired Earth and industrial-style Italian wall tiles from Del Forno in Cork. Porthole windows add a nautical touch, further enhancing the unique character of the property.
Moving back to the connecting hall, a sliding panelled barn door reveals The Old Creamery itself, a space that truly captures the imagination. This room, with its high vaulted ceilings, large German-designed doors, and an elegant fireplace, is perfect for entertaining on a grand scale. The eclectic mix of industrial and traditional elements creates a layered and textured atmosphere, inviting guests to linger and enjoy the ambiance.
The gallery overlooking this space adds an artistic touch, perfect for moments of quiet contemplation. Further exploration reveals reclaimed Moroccan ornate teak doors with 1920s Liberty Crittall transom windows above, leading to another entertaining room with a custom bar and countertop created from a salvaged tree trunk from the Suez Canal in Egypt. This room, with its industrial shutters and painted concrete floors, is filled with charm and character, making it ideal for hosting intimate gatherings. Alternatively, this space would make a fantastic cinema room. The inclusion of an office space, which could double as a third bedroom, adds versatility to this part of the property. From here, there is a boot room that could be divided off to create another downstairs bathroom. A set of double doors with portholes leads out to the rear garden, where a set of steps ascends to a mezzanine area, an ideal space for relaxing or even serving as a den.
GARDEN

The outdoor spaces at The Old Creamery are nothing short of extraordinary, expertly designed by the acclaimed landscaper Stephen Crisp. There is ample off-street parking to the front and side of the property. These gardens are a true reflection of the property's unique character, seamlessly blending natural beauty with thoughtful, functional design. A large workshop also enhances the property, offering ample storage and featuring a separate room that is plumbed.

As you wander through the gardens, you'll discover a lush landscape filled with native Irish fruit trees, vibrant herbs, and an extensive variety of shrubs and flowers that offer year-round interest. Each plant and feature has been carefully selected to enhance the garden's natural charm.

Adding to the garden's industrial appeal, the Old Creamery Boiler, a distinctive historical artefact, proudly stands at the property's entrance. This feature not only serves as a nod to the building's rich history but also acts as a striking focal point, welcoming visitors with a sense of the heritage of this fine home.
