Monasterevin 'Old Stone House' puts contemporary spin on 1840s home

'The Old Stone House' in Monasterevin, Co Kildare certainly lives up to the name, with beautiful stone and brickwork in and out of doors giving a rustic feel to the 1840's property.

On the market for €325,000, the 119 sqm three-bed home has been thoughtfully renovated to keep its traditional style intact while adding a contemporary feel.

Downstairs offers amble living and entertaining spaces, with a lounge, drawing room and generous kitchen/diner.

There's also an office space, utility room and guest bathroom, while the upstairs contains all three bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

The levels are connected by a statement spiral staircase, leading from the living area to a bright landing.

The house is also complimented by mature gardens and a paved patio area to the rear, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

It is also less than five minutes' drive from Monasterevin and its amenities, and is just a 50-minute commute to Dublin.
