County Kildare, Irland

We live in Kilteel, a quiet rural village in County Kildare near the border with Co. Dublin and Co. Wicklow.  It is 40 mins to Dublin city and 10 mins to the start of the Wicklow mountains. The village has a lovely pub, a small church, Romanesque castle ruins and an ancient oak wood. We have open countryside at the end of our garden but we are only 6 km from the nearest shops, main road networks, bus and light rail access to Dublin city.

Our home is a detached, single story house with a living room, kitchen/dining, three bedrooms, workroom, 2.5 bathrooms and a tv room/den upstairs, accessed by a spiral staircase. The house is bright, uncluttered yet comfortable, with under floor heating and a wood burning stove in the living room. We have a modern kitchen overlooking the back garden and rolling countryside. The kitchen has all the usual appliances and there is a utility room with washing machine and freezer. The master bedroom in ensuite with a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a double bed (4'6") and the third bedroom has a two single beds. .

The house is set in a secluded garden with a raised decking area, a wooden gazebo and a vegetable plot. The back garden runs down to open fields where cattle and sheep graze. Although the setting is rural, the house is in the centre of the village, with friendly neighbours and is a short stroll to the pub which has traditional music on Friday nights. There is excellent fibre broadband and satelite TV.

There are no shops or public transport in the village so a car is essential. We are happy to exchange cars.

We have a small studio apartment in the garden, suitable for two people, which may be available for non simultaneous exchanges.
