Co Kildare: €3.25m A stud farm in rural Kildare, within easy reach of Goffs and the M7/M9, is to be auctioned in three lots on June 2nd.

Corduff House Stud consists of a seven-bedroom period house, stableyard with loose boxes, a manager's cottage and 110 acres of land. The location is Coolcarrigan, about 15 minute's drive from Naas.

Selling agent Colm McEvoy Auctioneers is guiding €2.75 million for the house and 80 acres. A further 30 acres is expecting to fetch €500,000. Finally, the house and entire 110 acres has a price guide of €3.25 million. Corduff is a working stud and well-maintained.

The 205sq m (2,207sq ft) house - believed to have been a planter's residence - is about 200 years old and retains many of the elegant features of its period such as architraves, mantlepieces and sash bay windows. The long avenue is lined by mature deciduous trees, including cherry trees currently in blossom. Inside the house, great views of the front paddocks can be had from the sitting and dining rooms. Colours are warm, floors are polished wood and the general impression is of a comfortable family home.

The main bedroom and en suite are on the ground floor. Also here is a family sittingroom, office and good-sized kitchen/breakfastroom. Another two bedrooms and the family bathroom are on a return. Four bedrooms are on the top floor, including one with an en suite shower room. Adjoining the house is a beautiful courtyard with original cut-stone stables and ancillary buildings. There are 23 loose boxes, four stores, two tack rooms, feed rooms and wash down area. The cut-stone groom's cottage has a kitchen/living area, bathroom and one bedroom. Behind all this is a five-bay hay shed. The 30 acres of land which is being offered for sale separately benefits from good road frontage to the Coolcarrigan Road, so has potential subject to planning.
