Skyview, Kilcullen, Co Kildare, €595k

A nyone seeking a taste of country living within an hour’s commute of Dublin might well get starry-eyed at Skyview, a detached dormer bungalow on the outskirts of Kilcullen, Co Kildare. As the name suggests, on a clear night the garden here is ideally placed to gaze at the constellations above. During the day the views are equally spectacular, with green fields as far as the eye can see.

There are plenty of wonders inside too, not least the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room to the rear, a triple aspect room which, at 926 sq ft, is about the size of an entire, average three-bed semi. It’s got integrated units, a large island with two ovens and a five-ring hob, recessed lighting, Velux windows and a wood-burning stove in the living area. From here, French doors lead out to a composite deck wrapping around the side and front of the house.

Also on the ground floor are a separate utility/laundry room, a family room, playroom and an ensuite bedroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms (one ensuite including Jacuzzi bath) and a main bathroom.  

The open-plan kitchen/dining/living room at Skyview

Spanning 2,465 sq ft, the property is fitted with an alarm and CCTV, and comes with a B2 BER. It’s on a 0.62 acre site, which includes a lawn lined with silver birch trees and two steel sheds to the back, one with infrared heating.

The house is located in an area named after Admiral John Fish (1758-1834), a Trafalgar era Royal Navy officer whose family was seated at Tobberogan and renamed it Castle Fish. Kilcullen with its shops, schools, heritage centre and river walks along the banks of the Liffey is 6km away. It’s a 15-minute drive to Newbridge, the Whitewater shopping centre and the Curragh racecourse.
