Photos: Historic cottage at centre of enforcement action in Kildare
Kildare County Council has sought information
Kildare County Council is taking enforcement action after a section of wall adjacent to a historic thatched house in Naas was apparently removed.
The four bedroom property is known as Lauristina Cottage and it is located just off Newbridge Road.
It added it could not comment further because of the nature of the case.
The property was put up for sale over two years ago with an asking price of just under €1m.
It was described as a traditional four-bedroom thatched cottage, substantial outbuildings, courtyard, two separate entrances and grounds comprising over half an acre.
It is understood KCC has requested that work cease on the site and that a newly created entrance be closed.
It has also sought a report relating to activity at the site so that “the historical and cultural significance of the location is maintained.”
KCC has been contacted for comment.
