Co Kildare/€950,000: As the name suggests, the paddocks and laneway leading to Les Chênes at Ballycurraghan, Maynooth, Co Kildare, are lined with mature oaks which provide good shade and privacy in the summer months.
Coonan Real Estate Alliance is quoting an AMV of €950,000 at auction on June 29th for this detached five-bedroom dormer house, which comes with three acres of land, partly in fenced paddocks.
The owners have extended and redecorated Les Chênes in recent times, adding a huge floored and windowed attic room with plenty of possibilities. Planning has been secured to raise the roof height, creating space for two additional bedrooms.
With 279sq m (3,000sq ft) of accommodation, the interior is not cramped for space. Rooms have been painted in soft cream shades, adding to the feeling of light and space.
The ground floor includes a sittingroom with cast-iron fireplace, three bedrooms (one en suite) and a big kitchen/dining/family room opening to a deck and the back garden. It has integrated appliances, a brick fireplace with wood burner and oak flooring. Upstairs are two bedrooms and attic room.
The three acres encircle the house, with well-kept gardens, a south-facing deck, three paddocks, garage and hay barn.
