SURROUNDED BY THE countryside and extending to about four acres, this impressive detached house with equestrian facilities may just make the perfect long-term investment for anyone involved with horses. Privately positioned along a quiet country road, the home enjoys a tranquil rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the vibrant towns of Kilcock and Maynooth.
Built by its original owners in 2000 and meticulously cared for ever since, the house has a floor area of about 379 m. The layout is generous yet practical, designed for both everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining. With six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and multiple reception spaces, the home offers great flexibility for growing families and guests.
Despite its large size, the home is notably efficient, with an impressive B3 energy rating. This is thanks to double-glazed windows, zoned heating, a Stanley range and a pellet stove. These all contribute to year-round cosiness, while traditional open fires add warmth and character to the main reception rooms.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with quality finishes and a bespoke staircase. The main reception rooms are elegant yet inviting, featuring marble fireplaces, solid timber floors and views across the gardens. At the heart of the home lies a spacious kitchen and dining area, fitted with custom cabinetry, marble worktops and a large central island. This space flows naturally into a bright sunroom, where large windows and roof lights draw in natural light and frame views of the paddocks beyond.
Four bedrooms are located on the ground floor and each one has an en suite bathroom meaning excellent convenience. The upper level reveals two more bedrooms alongside a gym, home office and extra bathroom. A large landing area offers a versatile space for reading or relaxation.
Approached through secure electric gates, the property opens onto beautifully landscaped gardens with mature hedging and trees, ensuring a high level of privacy. To the back, the land is thoughtfully arranged to separate leisure and working areas, with stables, barn and yard space discreetly positioned behind the house.
Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the six stables, arena, paddocks and large barn with loft storage, while the expansive yard and hardstanding provide ample space for vehicles and equipment. A detached garage of about 60 m offers further scope, subject to planning, of course. But a conversion could mean extra guest space or a home office.
A fully fitted summer chalet with bespoke bar and heating creates a sociable hub for entertaining, hobbies or simply unwinding while overlooking the grounds.
While the setting feels distinctly rural, connectivity is excellent. Both Kilcock and Maynooth provide a wide range of schools, shops and services, as well as train and bus links to Dublin city and airport. The nearby M4 ensures easy access to the capital, while local amenities such as the Royal Canal Greenway and Maynooth University only add to this home’s appeal.
Combining space, privacy and facilities that are increasingly hard to find, this substantial country home is a compelling opportunity for anyone looking for a unique family home, an equestrian holding or a business opportunity.
