Description

A CHARMING SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME ON C. 1.2 ACRES OVERLOOKING THE RIVER BARROW Barrow House is a truly unique and wonderful 5 bedroom period house over 2 floors with excellent living/entertaining space on the ground floor and 5 double bedrooms (all ensuite) on the first floor. This magical and secluded house of approximately c. 5,030 sq.ft. (c. 468 sq.m.) nestles on an elevated 1.2 acre site which overlooks the River Barrow with oblique views of the Grand Canal. There is also a swimming pool and a tarmac tennis court set in the mature landscaped grounds which enjoy an abundance of shrubs, trees and flowers. Barrow House was the home of Stan & Maureen Cosgrove since the late 80s – Stan being the world renowned equine veterinary surgeon and Manager of Moyglare Stud. Maureen used to describe Barrow House as her “little piece of heaven”. This amazing property is conveniently located on the edge of Monasterevin and consequently is within very close proximity of the railway station, shops and local amenities. LOCATION: This is an ideal family home situated in the Village within walking distance of the Railway Station – Dublin-Heuston (40 mins), Grand Canal Dock (50 mins), access to Motorway M7 is 5 mins at Junction 14. Monasterevin lies on the River Barrow in Co. Kildare and on the Grand Canal. The population was 4,246 in the 2016 Census. Monastervin Railway Station is on the InterCity Rail Line for trains from Dublin to the South West and West. It is also on Ireland’s canal network, linking the Grand Canal and the River Barrow. Monasterevin has an unusual number of bridges which has led to the more romantic of us describing it as “the Venice of Ireland”. The Grand Canal allowed the local distilling industry to flourish. An aqueduct built in 1826 carries the Grand Canal over the River Barrow. OUTSIDE: • Double garage, store and car port. • The gardens and grounds are a key feature of the property with lawns, sunken garden, herbaceous borders, all of which are south facing and approached via the gravelled drive. • Tarmacadam Tennis Court. • Outdoor Swimming Pool with Pool House.
