Charming period property could be a dream family home in Kildare

By Rose Martin

With a guide price of €340,000 and just 35 miles from Dublin, this could be the dream buy for a family looking to move out of the city.

Described as a charming and period property by Paddy Jordan of Jordan Town & Country Estate Agents, it comes with a range of stone outbuildings and has views over the Griese valley to the Wicklow Mountains.

The lyrical looks of the house are helped by lovely cottage gardens, and to the rear is a stone yard with 2 loose boxes and garage space.

Part of the three acre site includes a pony paddock and the rest is divided into beds with mature trees, including apple and pear, and a lawn.

Set at the end of a long driveway, (with separate access to the yard), this farmhouse is simply laid out with a drawing room and sitting room at either side of the entrance porch and the main staircase in the middle.

Windows have deep recesses with original shutters and replacement Georgian lights, The kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear and comes with fitted units and a Rayburn cooker.

The drawing room has French doors to the gardens and a hand- carved fireplace, while the sitting room has a Victorian original: both rooms are a good size.

This pretty property offers rural living and a number of extra features at a very good price in comparison to Dublin levels.

The farmhouse is a mile outside the village of Moone and is within commuting distance of the capital.
