By Kim O'Leary   This charming and regal Georgian-style mansion near Prosperous is sure to attract attention with its regal interior and exterior with plenty of unique features include a library, a paddock with mature gardens, as well as a separate guest cottage, with a large site of 9 ½ acres for the entire residence and a total price of €875,000.   Jordan Auctioneers are very pleased to present as it enters the market “Downings House”, Prosperous, Naas, Co Kildare, an impressive two storey over basement residence extending to c.7,250 sq.ft (673.5 sq.m), on a massive 9 ½ acre site.   The residence is seeped in local history with the original house having been destroyed during the Battle of Prosperous in 1798 and subsequently rebuilt around 1800 with some truly wonderful period features including Adams fireplace, functional window shutters, original pine pitch floors, and 11/14 foot ceilings. The property was refurbished in the 1980s having been rewired, re-roofed and plumbed with oil heating.   The main property consists of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (including 2 en-suite), entrance hall, drawing-room, a library perfect for those who enjoy reading in peace and quiet, a large kitchen, utility room, as well as a back stairwell. Meanwhile, there is also a currently disused basement which is a large area incorporating a wine cellar, pantry, old kitchen, back hall and a further 3 rooms as well as access to the tunnel which leads out to the garden with 3 cellar rooms off.   Meanwhile, the separate cottage boasts a living room/kitchen, shower room and 2 bedrooms as well as a store room. Outside the property enjoys extensive gardens with fine mature trees and shrubs, and there is also a paddock which would be excellent for grazing horses/ponies. Also, there are a number of outbuildings in need of refurbishment which could be used for many different purposes.     Outside the property is approached through a recessed entrance with electric gates to a tree-lined avenue up to the residence, which is a majestic home set amid mature gardens and an adjoining paddock offering a haven of peace and tranquillity. “Downings House” is situated on the outskirts of Prosperous Village with shops, schools, church, pubs on its doorstep, while the surrounding towns of Clane (5km), Sallins (9km), Naas (12km), Celbridge (17km) and Newbridge (18km) offer a wide variety of amenities and facilities. It is also a short drive to the M4 and M7 motorways with the bus route from Prosperous and train station in Sallins suiting commuters.
