By Kim O'Leary This charming thatched cottage just outside Rathangan is sure to appeal to buyers seeking peace and tranquility as well as a good scope for future expansion, and this property includes large gardens and a garage which could be converted for a total cost of €255,000.   Kate O’Shea Auctioneers is delighted to present as it enters the market "Spinning Wheel Cottage”, Bracknagh, Rathangan, Co Kildare.   The cottage was originally built in the 1700’s and listed on land registry maps as “The Spinning Wheel” during the occupation and later as “An Tuirne” the Irish for spinning wheel.   This historic property is full of local history and it has remained in the same family until the late 1990s, and during its long history the cottage was previously a rambling house and a meeting point for locals to play cards and a traditional music, and also a shop.   Inside the cottage is exceptionally spacious with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (including 2 en suites), two large reception rooms with a charming stove in the main reception room, a bright entrance hall, a kitchen, as well as a dining room.
