Stunning Georgian lodge and land in Athy yours for a little of €1m

This beautiful Georgian country lodge in Athy is turning some heads in the markets since it was put up for sale.

The five-bedroom Shamrock Lodge is a picturesque residence that is well hidden from the public eye by a landscape of large trees and a long driveway.

The house itself is on the market for a cool €580,000, while an adjoining three-acre lot is for sale for €200,000 and three further fields totalling 13.6 acres are valued at €270,000. The owner of the property would rather sell all three together however.

The accommodation is laid out over two floors with attic rooms and boasts wonderful period features with original oak parquet and pitch pine wood floors, corniced ceilings with center roses and recessed sash windows with wooden shutters.

The main reception rooms are bright and spacious and arranged around the main hall. There is a long western red cedar conservatory on the south west side of the house which enjoys great light and a wonderful aspect of the garden. A library occupies the first floor return and the main bedrooms are on the first floor with a sixth bedroom in the return to the walk in attic.

To the rear of the main house is found the enclosed courtyard which has a series of useful buildings including stables, former calf houses, a lofted coach house, former cattle stalls and the garage (with maintenance pit). Connemara ponies were bred by the family.

The house is about a mile outside Athy town on the Kildare road and is close to the M7 Motorway.
