Buyers in the market for a country house with land attached will be interested in a cut-stone period farmhouse on 87 acres for sale near Naas, Co Kildare.

Coonan Estate Agents is selling Derrymahon House at Coill Dubh by private treaty. The three-bedroom house can be bought either as a whole or in lots. The entire is on the market at £650,000 (€825,330). Alternatively, the house on just seven acres is priced at £270,000 (€342,830) with 60 acres of land available at £300,000 (€380,920).

In terms of location, Derrymahon House is well off the beaten track, although it is nine miles from Clane and 16 from Naas. Built around the turn of the 20th century, it is surrounded by trees and is enviably private.

The lands have been well managed over the years and are in good condition, despite proximity to Bord na M≤na-managed bogland. Mostly in grass, the 87-acre holding has the advantage of good road frontage.

The 1,500 sq ft three-bedroom house has been completely restored by the present owner. Over the past two years, he has laid polished wood and tile floors, repaired the roof and installed a new central heating system. Rooms have been opened out to give light, and the brand new kitchen is an efficient working space.

A tiled porch now opens into the main hallway, which has a part tiled and wood floor. The diningroom to the left is also timber floored, with an original grey marble fireplace. Across the hall is the sittingroom, with a Mexican pine fireplace and an arch to the kitchen area.

The modern Shaker-style fitted kitchen includes a cream solid fuel Raeburn stove, which heats the water supply. Also at the back of the house is a small double bedroom and a bathroom with bath and shower. Both of the upstairs bedrooms have antique cast iron fireplaces and the main bedroom has an en suite shower. Thick walls framing the bedroom windows have been sloped inwards to make these rooms particularly bright.

Outside, the lands close to the house are mainly in paddock, so the creation of a separate garden will be a priority for green-fingered owners. Mature deciduous trees surrounding the house and along the driveway are an attractive feature. There is also an outhouse, a large slatted shed and a silage pit.
