They’re not Askin a lot for this lodge off M9

A RANCH house in horsey country, just off the M9, should have urban viewers galloping in to take a look. The asking price of €530,000 for Askin Lodge is good for a property of its size considering a similar budget would only buy a much smaller equivalent in the Dublin area.

Purchasers prepared to take on a daily commute can get very good value for money the further out they go and this property’s location should make it attractive. Anne Marie Roe is selling this whopping 3,500 square foot property outside the villages of Suncroft and Cutbush in Kildare, though her company, Colm McEvoy Auctioneers. The large dormer is approached via a long driveway from the road. The grounds of an acre are landscaped and bounded by stone walls, stud railing and include electronic gates. Internally there are two formal reception rooms, as well as a kitchen/diner and sunroom. Of the five bedrooms, four are ensuite. Sale is private treaty.
