Conway Auctioneers are proud to present Virginia Lodge to the market, which is without doubt one of the finest properties to come up for sale in Kildare for years. A wonderful double fronted town house constructed c.1864, with magnificent mature gardens on The Square in Kildare town. History Virginia Lodge was once the home of the Superintendent of the RIC Barracks which was located across the street. The story goes that the stone used to construct the house came from the Castle which is now located behind the Silken Thomas. In 1922 the property was bought by a Mr. Charlie Burke from the newly formed Irish Free State Government. Mr & Mrs Conlan bought the property from Mr. Charlie Burke’s son a Mr. Francis Burke in 1963 and it has remained in the Conlan Family ever since. There was once a tennis court in the back garden and the garden wall is the original boundary wall of Kildare. The first private telephone in Kildare was installed in Virginia Lodge.
