4 Dollanstown was owned by the Hamilton Smythe family in the nineteenth century and for generations before. They are believed to have constructed the present house. The estate was taken over by the renowned horse trainer, Peter Purcell Gilpin, who established a stud at Dollanstown to run in conjunction with his stud at Newmarket. He sent out many notable winners, including two Derby winners and the mare, Pretty Polly, winner of 22 races.

In 1939, following the death of Mr Gilpin, his widow leased Dollanstown to Mr J A Dewar, nephew of Lord Dewar, with an option to purchase the estate upon her death. Mrs Gilpin died in 1948 and Dewar availed of the option, subsequently adding a further 76 acres. Mr Jack Olding purchased the estate in 1954, following Mr Dewar’s death and after two years, sold it to Dr and Mme Plesch who added a further 100 acres to the estate to comprise a total of about 500 acres. Dr Plesch was a Doctor of Law, entrepreneur and horticulturalist, while his Austrian-born wife had a life-long affinity with horses. A total of 38 mares, fillies and yearlings were quickly acquired at public auction and privately to increase the broodmare band at Dollanstown.

The couple bred many notable winners at Dollanstown, including the Derby winner from 1961, Psidium. Arguably the greatest horse owned by Dr and Mme Plesch was Sassafras, whose career highlight was success in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The death of Dr Plesch in 1974 led to a dispersal sale in 1975. The estate had a number of Irish owners before it was purchased by the present owners in 1982. The adjoining farm at Ferrestown was purchased in 1992. The present owners created a International-standard event course.

DOLLANSTON STUD & ESTATE Kilcock, Co Meath 9

DOLLANSTOWN HOUSE & COURTYARD

Dollanstown House is entered from a minor public road through a bell-mouthed stone wall with piers and cast-iron gates and is accessed via a hardcore sweeping driveway which has parking at the front.

Reportedly dating from the late 1700’s, Dollanstown House occupies a private, south-facing position. It has undergone a full programme of renovation and redecoration to create a fine home fit for the future but retaining period charm. External features include a Venetian window, pedimented doorcase and brackets under the eaves on the southern façade.

The principal reception rooms and bedroom suites have been laid out specifically with comfortable family living in mind, where the spacious and well-equipped dining kitchen is the focal point, with its south and easterly aspects over the estate parkland from the bay window.

Notable internal period features include flagstones, sash and case windows, detailed carving within the wooden finishes, ceiling roses and cornicing, picture rails, fitted bookshelves in the library, decorative marble mantelpieces, timber floors and architraves. 10

DOLLANSTOWN STUD & ESTATE Kilcock, Co Meath 11

The original staircase was referred to in one of The Irish Georgian Society’s books on Georgian houses as being one of the finest examples of an unpainted hand-carved wooden staircase in Ireland. Now fully restored, it still retains its original grandeur.

The accommodation has a combination of double and triple glazing and is laid out over two floors, as shown on the accompanying plans.

The bedroom accommodation is laid out on the first floor and includes three bedroom suites plus two further bedrooms which share a shower room. They are accessed off an impressive landing with a high ceiling and ample natural light. The master bedroom suite has access 12 to a terrace with expansive views of the estate and includes a dressing area with laundry.

A useful feature of the house is that a wing situated to the north of the house provides the entertaining accommodation and includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining room and drawing room. The reception rooms have timber panelling, fireplaces with impressive mantelpieces and doors opening to the garden. The entertainment wing has a separate entrance vestibule at the rear of the house, where there is a WC.

A two-bedroom courtyard wing attached to the western elevation of the house and facing south provides self-contained accommodation over two storeys. It can be accessed on both floors directly from Dollanstown House. There is also an external access via the courtyard to the rear. It has triple glazing and a raised fireplace in the sitting room.

Adjoining the rear of the house is a former stable yard of traditional construction. It is over two storeys and laid out in a rectangular shape, forming a central courtyard which is laid to a combination of gravel and cobblestones with a central water feature and has a vehicular access through two archways. The courtyard has retained much of its original charm, including its fine masonry work and is the functional hub of the estate. The majority of the residential buildings in the courtyard have been upgraded to provide useful spillover or rental accommodation and include the following: Courtyard Cottage Attached to the Courtyard Wing and situated in the south- western corner of the courtyard is a two-bedroom cottage with accommodation over two storeys. It is accessed from the courtyard and includes a stove.

DOLLANSTOWN STUD & ESTATE Kilcock, Co Meath Studio Apartment An external staircase leads to a two-bedroom apartment on the 13 first floor of the northern part of the courtyard. There is a stove in the sitting/dining room. It is conveniently located for the main stable yard. Outbuildings The courtyard includes stables and three former coach houses, one with an office. A games room and store (created for estate staff) are on the first floor. Gardens and Grounds Dollanstown House is set within magnificent mature garden grounds and estate parkland. Lying to the west of the house and within the estate parkland is a walled garden. It is accessed from the house by a gravel driveway and through a cast-iron gate, while it can also be accessed via the public road through an archway.

The walled garden includes two glasshouses, areas of lawn, hedging, borders and beds of shrubs and flowering plants, fruit- bearing trees, pergola, gravel paths and vegetable gardens.

A formal garden is to the front and side of the house. It is enclosed by a cast-iron fence and is mainly laid to lawn interspersed by mature deciduous trees of mixed species, with some beds and borders and a water feature. A number of paths pass through the garden. A ha-ha is strategically positioned to create an uninterrupted view from the east of the house towards the estate parkland.

The beautiful landscaped gardens are a particularly attractive part of the estate and have been the venue of numerous photographic shoots. The television series Rough Diamond was filmed at Dollanstown. Yard Stable 4.27 x 3.84 14' x 12'7''
