ARDEEN
From the moment you enter Ardeen through the electric gates, the mature gardens and elevated position immediately set the tone for the residence beyond. A gravelled drive sweeps to the front of the house where manicured lawns, mature trees, and hedging provide year-round privacy and colour. Inside, a wide entrance hall opens into an array of beautifully proportioned reception rooms. The drawing room and dining room each feature fireplaces, timber flooring, and decorative coving, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A separate playroom/TV room offers family functionality, while the sunroom and large conservatory to the rear capture the surrounding landscape and open directly onto the patio and garden.
At the heart of the home lies the stunning Poggenpohl kitchen, a true culinary showcase, fitted with Gaggenau appliances, marble worktops, a 4-oven Aga with ceramic hob, wine fridge, double fridge/freezer, warming drawers and a large island with ample storage. This space flows into the breakfast room, also with fireplace, and beyond into a utility/laundry room and a private office with direct access to the garden-ideal for remote working.
Upstairs, Ardeen offers five luxurious and well-proportioned bedrooms, each designed with both comfort and elegance in mind. High ceilings, original features, and quality finishes ensure a warm and restful atmosphere throughout the upper floor. A generous and light-filled principal-suite with views over the gardens, featuring a fully fitted walk-in dressing room and a large ensuite bathroom complete with bath, separate shower, WC, and WHB. Next is a spacious double room with original fireplace and alcove detail, currently fitted with built-in wardrobes. Adjacent to a beautifully appointed bathroom which also serves the landing. The third bedroom is another expansive double room to the rear of the property, featuring built-in wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom with shower, WC, and WHB. The fourth bedroom is a charming and well-lit double room with fitted wardrobes and a fully tiled ensuite shower room, including WC and WHB. The fifth bedroom is positioned as a second suite, this elegant bedroom boasts a walk-in dressing room, built-in storage, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with bath, separate shower, WC, and WHB.
Additional conveniences include a large walk-in hot press, back staircase providing secondary access to the ground floor utility and office, and attic access via Stira stairs-enhancing the home's everyday functionality and storage options.
GARDENS
The south-facing gardens are a standout feature, offering total privacy and a serene outlook across the rolling plains of the Curragh. Carefully landscaped with lawned areas, patio zones, mature planting, and specimen trees, this garden offers year-round colour and an unrivalled setting for outdoor living.
There are 2 pony boxes to the rear of the property, along with 2 detached garages-suitable for cars, storage, or conversion (subject to planning).
LOCATION
Ardeen enjoys a truly privileged position in the heart of County Kildare, one of Ireland's most desirable and well-connected regions. Overlooking the expansive Curragh Plains, this exceptional location offers direct access to approximately 4,500 acres of open common land, ideal for walking, hacking, and a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Despite its serene rural setting, Ardeen is just minutes from both the M7 and M9 motorways, placing towns such as Kilcullen, Newbridge, Kildare Town, and Naas all within a 15-minute drive.
The area is exceptionally well-served by educational facilities, with top schools including Newbridge College, Clongowes Wood College, and Athgarvan Primary School nearby. Equestrian and racing enthusiasts will appreciate close proximity to The Curragh Racecourse, with Punchestown and Naas racecourses also easily reached. For golfers, the nearby Royal Curragh Golf Club, Rathsallagh, and the prestigious K Club offer an excellent selection of championship courses.
Retail and leisure options abound, with shopping at Whitewater Shopping Centre, Naas town centre, and the Kildare Village Outlet all just a short drive away. Dining is equally impressive, with renowned restaurants and cafés in Kilcullen, such as Fallons and Bardons, s well as in Naas and Newbridge. For those commuting or travelling frequently, Dublin City is located just 55 km away, with Dublin Airport approximately 63 km, offering a perfect balance of accessibility and peaceful countryside living.
