Our pick of what's available in Co Kildare
READY TO RENOVATE:KILGLASS House, a pretty period house in need of refurbishment, is on the market through Coonan Real Estate Alliance, asking €600,000. Reached at the end of a long tree lined avenue, the five-bed near Broadford, Co Kildare, stands on 36 acres of land, including grazing and forestry. The cut-stone house dates from 1750, and has three reception rooms, a large kitchen and several bathrooms. Some refurbishment work has been carried out in recent years, according to selling agent Susan Kirk of Coonans, but the price suggests there is more to do. The grounds include 12 loose boxes and a stable yard adjoining an old walled garden which is now used as a paddock.
READY TO MOVE INTO:SEVEN bedrooms is a lot a space for a family but it is what you get with Dun Mhuire, a large detached house on three-quarters of an acre of land at Laragh, five minutes' drive from Maynooth. For sale through Property Partners Brady at €695,000 it's a property with clear income potential either as a BB (three of the bedrooms have en suites) or for someone ready to explore the Rent a Room tax break scheme. The 353sq m (3,800sq ft) house, which comes with stabling for two horses, was built in the last decade to a high standard. Polished timber flooring runs throughout the ground floor and there is more timber in the large country-style kitchen which has a full range of solid oak units. There is a sittingroom and a study downstairs, along with five of the bedrooms. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms – both en suite – and a big open-plan landing currently used as a childrens' playroom. The high spec finish includes central vacuuming.
