Scart, a work of art, priceless to Georgian go-getters

TRUE Georgian era houses of stature on the Ring of Kerry are a bit of a rarity, and so Scart House near Castlecove is in rather an exclusive league in one of the country’s most scenic areas.

Scart, a work of art, priceless to Georgian go-getters

Distinctive in style, yet modest enough in stature despite having 5,000 sq ft of living space, it has been a restoration and labour of love by its German/Irish owners Karlheinz Bohm and Claire Blake-Bohm for the past decade and a half.

Scart dates back to the 1820s, and was built by a member of the Jermyn family, whose boat-building skills are said to be still evident in the quality of timber roofing. Only two of the roof timbers had to be replaced when the 7,000 natural roof slates were replaced in 1995.
