Timura, Clonalvey, Co Dublin is a period stone house eight miles from Ashbourne which is on the market by private treaty through Jackson Stops which is guiding £400,000 (507,900).

The house on five acres was bought by its current owners 14 years ago. They completely renovated it, including re-roofing it and reworking the internal layout.

They have since been granted planning permission to add a 2,000 sq ft extension to the back of the house.

There are three bedrooms in this pretty looking house, all upstairs.

The largest bedroom has a timber beamed ceiling to continue the country cottage theme. One of the bedrooms has an en suite.

Downstairs, the entrance hall has a slate floor and there is a large livingroom with cast iron fireplace and wooden floors. The eat-in kitchen has a country style timber beamed ceiling and limed oak units.

Double wooden doors open out from the kitchen on to the patio and terraced garden.

There are two paddocks, the largest of which has approximately three and a half acres. Both paddocks are fenced with water laid on.

The gardens are likely to be one of the house's main attractions and the part of the garden immediately outside the kitchen door is well planted with flowers, trees and shrubs. There is also a mature orchard.

Clonalvey is two miles from Garristown and 22 miles from Dublin city centre.
