An attractive 19th century house with 22 acres of land at Ballymore Eustace in Co Kildare will appeal to buyers keen to live in the country within a reasonable commute of Dublin.

Jackson-Stops McCabe is seeking offers in the region of £380,000 for the five-bedroom house with all 22 acres. The house with just seven acres may be bought for around £300,000, according to selling agent Edward Townsend. Located five miles from Naas and a short distance from Ballymore Eustace village, Luggadowden House is approached through mature trees flanking a long gravel driveway. The house is a solid Victorian structure with an enclosed yard to the rear. While some refurbishment work has been carried out in recent years, the house does need to be updated. There are three reception rooms - a drawingroom, diningroom and sittingroom - and all are nicely-proportioned rooms with fireplaces. The kitchen has a low beamed ceiling and an oil fired stove. Beyond it is a utility room with access to the yard, and a back stairs.

Upstairs, the five bedrooms lead off a long landing. The main bedroom has a long dressingroom off it that could be converted to an en suite bathroom. The enclosed yard behind the house has store rooms and an out office. Beyond this, a larger yard has a coach house, loose boxes and a hay barn. The yards and the gardens immediately surrounding the house total three acres.
