Dunlavin House presents a rare opportunity for discerning purchasers to acquire a substantial Georgian property. (Footprint 5000sq. ft. approx.)

This extraordinary three-storey home has many outstanding attributes encompassing all the charm of classical Georgian architecture and solid stone construction of a bygone era.

The house is approached by a lovely winding driveway and there is plenty of private parking space.

The breathtaking architecture, period ceiling heights, centre pieces, coving, original period sash windows, working shutters, marble fireplaces, arches, cornicing, solid wood floors, doors and stained glass fan features all combine to place this home in a class of its own.

Dunlavin House is extremely spacious. The grand entrance hall with its columnar supports, black and white floor, period door pediments and stained glass transports us to a world of style and elegance which resonates throughout the house.

Three beautifully proportioned reception rooms graced with marble fireplaces are at this level with adjoining interlinking double doors between drawing and dining rooms, ideal for entertaining. Every facet of Georgian splendour has been carefully considered from period stucco work, double skirting boards, moulded architraves, coved ceilings, picture rails, to solid wood doors and floors. Wilton wool carpeting throughout all reception rooms.

The inner hall is flooded in light and is graced by the original staircase- rising to a large galleried hall, off which there are three particularly fine proportioned bedrooms. There is a newly refurbished family bathroom on this level. Another bathroom is situated on the first return while a walk in hot press is situated on the second return.

At garden level, there is a fully equipped gym with mirrored wall and gym rail, a full sized sauna and en suite (possible studio/4th bedroom), a laundry room fully plumbed with large fully fitted units, playroom with cast iron fire place (possible study/5th bedroom), wine cellar and dramatic kitchen.

The gourmet kitchen exudes charm and character enjoying many most unusual features – original exposed stone walls, full length original ceiling beams, slated floor, fully fitted kitchen, all desirable NEFF appliances (double oven, hob, integrated fridge freezer, dish washer, hydraulic up and over microwave door, integrated deep fat fryer), indoor barbeque and beautiful fragranite sink all luxuriating in black granite work top.

Double doors lead to a lovely enclosed, stonewalled courtyard perfect for alfresco dining and small children. The courtyard is over looked by two outhouses, which can easily be converted to guest accommodation/games room. There is also a car garage, log shed and plenty of room for a swimming pool and/or tennis court on the grounds. A Children's' play-centre also sits merrily at the rear of the house!


Flanked by mature trees and shrubs, Dunlavin House sits comfortably on c. 0.75 acres in the very pretty village of Dunlavin. Occupying a wonderfully secluded position, the house is set well off the road enjoying privacy whilst benefiting from all the conveniences of village life – two primary schools, secondary school, shops, restaurants, coffee shops, hairdressers, post office, Churches, library, florist, bank, etc. The house is within easy access of the bustling towns of Naas, Newbridge and Kildare with their excellent selection of restaurants, boutiques and shopping facilities.

The location of the property combines the best in terms of a charming setting on the Kildare/Wicklow border and could lend itself to a variety of uses, for example, a beautiful and unique restaurant, high end office space or gallery, all with the benefit of easy access to the surrounding towns, Dublin City (31 miles), Dublin International Airport (45 mins) and the M7 motorway both North and Southbound.
