Description
Rathdaire (Oak Fort) Cottage. A distinctive and historic old schoolhouse dating back to 1824. Today it is a charming 5/6 bedroom home extending to c. 312 sq mtrs situated on a 2.5 acre site and located just outside the village of Ballybrittas. The property, which is steeped in history and character, retains many of its original features including original fireplaces, wood panelling and floor tiling. It is a fabulous home for entertaining, and the extensive gardens and woodlands are a tranquil oasis with many Oak trees, and an ancient Yew tree where generations of children have played. This is a wonderful opportunity for a discerning buyer to acquire a quite magical family home.
Dublin is an easy commute, the M7 motorway is just 5 mins away, and it is only 10 mins to both Portarlington & Monasterevin Train stations. Excellent Eir fibre broadband and a home EV car charging point are among the other facilities the property offers.
The local area has many amenities, including schools and shopping, and some terrific venues are within easy reach such as The Heritage Golf and Spa Resort, Emo Court and Kildare Village. The annual Electric Picnic is closeby, Derries Woods for walking is just on your doorstep, and for longer treks you can access the Grand Canal Blueway at the award winning Fisherman's Inn.
