Co Kildare: €1.5mA house and two-acre garden on the edge of The Curragh in Co Kildare has an AMV of €1.5 million prior to auction on September 28th with Jordan of Newbridge.

The owner has lived in four-bed Kinneagh Lodge in Balrath since it was built 30 years ago and, family grown, is downsizing nearby. Houses for sale on The Curragh are scarce. This one has a substantial stableyard while the lodge has 242sq m (2,600sq ft). There is also a tennis court and separate 59sq m (600sq ft) snooker room. The snooker table, from Goffs and which saw championship action, can be bought with the house.

The house is a bungalow, surrounded by gardens in a green belt area, bordered by sheep commons and conifers. Kilcullen, the nearest town, is three miles away.

Glass-panelled doors open from an oak-floored hall to the drawingroom, also with oak floor. Speakers are built-in and ceiling beams are painted ivory. An arch leads into the diningroom, with its maple floor, window seats in the bay and doors to a terrace.

The cheery apple-green kitchen includes a deep green double-oven Aga, limed oak units, granite worktops and a full range of appliances.

There is also a utility room with oak presses, double Belfast sink and cork floor. A breakfastroom with gas-burning stove and ceiling beams has doors to the terrace. The family room with open brick fireplace is a cosy TV den.

Three double bedrooms and one single all come with fitted wardrobes and panelled ceilings.

The largest bedroom includes an en suite shower and the family bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath. A small office opens to the yard.

The gardens are well planned and maintained, with an enclosed tennis court, gravelled avenue lined with beech and laurel, orchard, lawns and broad terrace with colourful borders.

The detached snooker room has a gas stove, panelled ceilings, speakers and doors to the garden.

There is a separate entrance to the stable yard, which includes an American barn, five loose boxes, feed room, floodlit sand ménage and paddock.
