Description

An outstanding country home in a picturesque and mature setting with views over the surrounding countryside. This Victorian style residence is set on c.8 acres in the heart of the equestrian county and has the benefit of a floodlit sand arena and several stables. The house is very private, set well back from the road in complete seclusion. This beautifully maintained property is approached through a set of simple timber gates and a cobble lock driveway that sweeps past a variety of mature, deciduous trees including horse-chestnut, beech, sycamore and a particularly impressive weeping willow. This driveway leads to the back of the house and the stable yard ensuring uninterrupted views from the house of the stunning gardens and natural pond. Double doors lead from the front porch into the hallway with its vaulted ceiling and an arched window running the length of two floors. There is an attractive timber fireplace in the hall that welcomes and warms even the weariest of travellers. The well-appointed, bright, kitchen opens out onto the patio which extends along the exterior of the house and is partially sheltered from the elements by a clear roof. In fact, all of the reception rooms have double doors leading into the garden. This theme has been continued upstairs as several rooms have double doors leading on to balconies. At all times one’s eye is drawn toward the views over the gardens and surrounding lands. There are five bedrooms, a family bathroom and the master comes with a walk in dressing room and ensuite. This is a truly enchanting property, well maintained throughout and providing well proportioned family accommodation. THE LOCATION Straffan is a charming place to live and offers facilities typical of a small village including a supermarket, pub, post office and primary school. The famous K Club hotel & golf resort is also located on the outskirts of the village. Clongowes Wood in Clane and Newbridge College offer private schooling. The bustling shopping towns of Naas, Maynooth & Celbridge are within easy distance, also offering good restaurants and leisure facilities. For the racing enthusiast, The Curragh racecourse is 14km away, while Punchestown and Naas are both close by. There are good equestrian facilities locally for every standard of competence and hunting available with the Kildare Hunt. There is good angling and boating together with great walking along the River Liffey.
