Forge a new lifestyle at luxurious Forgefield House in south Kildare

A beautiful four-bedroom house in the south of Kildare is still on the property market.

Located directly across the road from the well-known Kilkea Castle, this beautiful Victorian house features a stunning conservatory, cast iron and marble fireplaces, and a fabulous exterior that blends into the look of the nearby castle.

The property is being sold through Sotheby's International Realty, and the guide price is listed as €950,000.

The site for this project was a paddock which at one time belonged to the Kilkea smithy, thus inspiring the name Forgefield House.

The other buildings in the centre of Kilkea village are constructed from limestone and were built in the Victorian period.

The main properties of this period within sight of Forgefield House are the Old School House, the Rectory, the Castle Gate Lodge, and the Forge.

Despite being built in 2006, the house retains a wonderfully charismatic feel yet manages to mix the old with the new by introducing many modern features. The superb views stretch towards Killeshin Hills with vast acres of lush greenness in between.

Outbuildings include a studio, a two storey garage and a plant room. The studio is an ideal space for an artist/musicians/classes or even as a children's playhouse.

An exquisite driveway gives a perfect first impression of the property, and the most noticeable aspect upon opening the front door is the curved timber staircase. The property features a reception hall, a library and a kitchen/sunroom.

A chandelier makes a stunning centrepiece for the house and the gallery is amply lit by light from the airy bedrooms and the terrace leading off the master bedroom. All four bedrooms have spacious ensuites and offer ample storage space.
