Simplicity and period styling offer good odds for punters

SIMPLICITY and period styling are the look with this 2,550 square foot house near Naas in Co Kildare.

In mint condition, according to Ronan O'Connor of Colm McEvoy Auctioneers, the house has a detached garage and a half-acre site close to lots of recreational amenities.

These include Punchestown and Naas racecourse as well as two golf clubs. Glending Forest is a mile and half away and the property is two miles from Blessington.

While it will have attractions locally, the house could appeal to the trading up Dublin market it's priced at €600,0000.

Accommodation is not over the top but has the simple layout of the good, square country house.

The ground floor has formal rooms to the front on either side the sitting room and dining room and to the rear there's a kitchen/ breakfast room, playroom or study and a family room. Smaller rooms include a fully fitted utility and guest bathroom.

Off the landing on the upper floor are four good sized bedrooms and a fully tiled, main bathroom: the master is en suite.

The house is maintenance-free and there are telephone points in all rooms. The main reception rooms have good fireplaces and ornamental plasterwork.
