Maynooth: €1.1mAn 18th century former stagecoach inn on the edge of Maynooth has just come on the market and is for sale by private treaty for €1.1 million through Coonan Real Estate Alliance.

Crown Court is on the Leixlip Road, opposite the Carlton Hotel and the Carlton Walk. The main bedroom looks out over the hotel's golf course.

Although in a peaceful setting, the house is just half a mile from the town's train station.

The current owner, a keen historian, has taken care over the years to maintain the house's character. Original window shutters are still in use, cast-iron fireplaces in the sittingroom and bedrooms have been there since the house was built, and Victorian tiles on the hall floor give a traditional welcome.

The 177sq m (1,900 sq ft) four-bedroom house stands on 0.7 acres of mature gardens with views over the surrounding countryside.

Much of the garden is taken up by a granite rockery and by a parking forecourt at the rear.

Down the hall from the entrance is a sittingroom with cast-iron fireplace and alder wood dresser and bookcase. An arch leads to the kitchen, where alder units incorporate a range of appliances. There is also a free-standing dresser and pine floor.

The formal diningroom has oak flooring and ceiling beams and there is also an oak-floored study. Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.

A walk-in wardrobe leads off the largest bedroom, which includes one of the cast-iron fireplaces, as does bedroom two.
