Castlesize fit for a king

Coming up for auction on Wednesday 9 October is the stunning Castlesize House located at Millicent, Naas, Co Kildare.

The 36ac residential property is currently laid out in grass with stud-railed paddocks, meaning it would be well suited for bloodstock purposes. The property is also convenient to the Curragh, Naas and Punchestown racecourses. It benefits from hedgerows throughout, with mature trees located around the property adding a real sense of character.

Running adjacent to the house is the River Liffey. The lands are typical of the area, with top class free-draining soils.

Electric entrance gates lead you into the residence, which is approached by a private tree-lined avenue, offering the potential owner complete privacy. The gardens surrounding the house add to the feel of grandeur about the property and have been immaculately maintained over the years. The walled garden to the side of the residence has a cut-stone garden house with a tower in place.

To the rear of the residence is a large courtyard with stone outbuildings in place. Here there are eight stables with sliding doors and a further three storage sheds. There is a double garage in place with up-and-over doors.

The residence comes with four large en-suite bedrooms that have preserved many of the Georgian-style features, as is the case for the majority of the residence. These are all located on the first floor. On the ground floor there is an array of rooms including a kitchen, sitting rooms, dining room and study among others.

Along with the main residence there is also a gate lodge and gardener’s cottage in place on the property. The entire is being offered for sale by public auction on Wednesday 9 October at 3pm in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin.

The entire comes with a hefty price tag of €3m. The sale is being handled by Coonan Property. CL
