Bruach, Ballintaggart, Colbinstown, Co. Kildare

JP & M Doyle are pleased to offer ''Bruach'', a Neo-Georgian residence positioned on a superb elevated site overlooking the finest views Kildare and Wicklow have to offer. Built in 2011 and constructed to the highest standards, the house benefits from sympathetically designed interiors which have been decorated to emulate what is desired in any country home. The property contains high ceilings, well-proportioned living and bedroom space and its beautiful hardwood floor-to-ceiling sash windows allow light to flood in, while also framing the undulating lands and magnificent views over the Wicklow and Slieve Bloom Mountains. Upon arriving at the property you immediately get a sense of what awaits inside:- a beautiful set of electric gates which lead to a sweeping drive rising with the lands. As you drive in, the landscape opens up and you can start to enjoy the uninterrupted surrounding countryside. The driveway has been well thought out with your approach to the front of the house and parking area facing away from the view. This leaves the rear south-facing aspect free from vehicles and protects the outlook from the property. The entrance to the house is through a large hardwood door (with a period-style fanlight) leading into a bright octangle entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling extending to the first floor. The hall gives way to the three downstairs bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the house and a stunning bay dining area with twin sash windows and French doors opens out to the rear terrace. The kitchen units are bespoke and include granite countertops. The dining/living room is an attractive split-level open plan room which is beautifully finished with an open fireplace. All bedroom suites are of generous proportions and include spacious walk-in showers. The first floor is accessed by an impressive staircase. This area currently comprises an open plan area and an en-suite bathroom, but benefits from full planning permission to create two further bedrooms (Planning Ref 19222). One of the special upstairs features is a stunning half-moon window which holds a commanding view over the property and further afield.

LOCATION
Bruach is ideally situated on the Kildare / Wicklow border in one of Ireland's most desirable areas.

The property is a short drive to Dunlavin (c. 5km), a picturesque market town boasting a range of shops, pubs, schools and churches. There are a host of larger towns such as Kilcullen (c. 11km), Baltinglass (c. 12km), Newbridge (c. 17.5km), Naas (c. 21km) and Blessington (c. 22km).

County Kildare is world-renowned for its connection to Horse Racing, and has a proven track record for producing some of the world's best racehorses. Bruach is fortunate to rub shoulders with some of Ireland's most prestigious stud farms and nurseries, which include Colbinstown Stud. The area caters for the racing enthusiast with local tracks including Punchestown, Naas and The Curragh. The Kildare Foxhounds, which are kennelled at Punchestown, hunt the surrounding lands. Schools are also plentiful with Dunlavin, Newbridge, Blessington, Baltinglass and Naas offering plenty of both primary and secondary options.
