Historic Curragh cottage on market with planning permission to expand

Baden Lodge on the Suncroft Road near Brownstown is a single-storey house dating back to the 1800s and in need of complete renovation.

The property is next door to the Aga Khan’s Sheshoon Stud in the Curragh.

Baden Lodge was put on the market last summer for €150,000.

The new buyers were approved for planning permission in April and have put up the property for sale at auction.

Full unrestricted Planning Permission now exists for renovation of the original cottage and a new extension of 106 sq.m bringing the overall floor area to 187 sq.m. (2,012 sq.ft.) when completed.

In addition to this the Planning Permission includes a much improved site entrance.

The Planning Ref is 17/1334 on Kildare County Council website (online planning section).

Baden Lodge is surrounded by mature timber and an array of flowers and shrubs.

A yard at the back has a hay shed, two lean-to sheds and some other old outbuildings.

The house and yard on .89 acre had an asking price of €150,000 when it was on the market last summer.

A planning application by the new owners has now been approved for the demolition of the existing flat-roof single-storey rear extension and detached stables building.

Also given the green light is the construction of a new (106sqm) single-storey extension to the rear of the existing (81sqm) single storey cottage.

The existing 2 bedroom dwelling will be converted into a 4 bedroom dwelling.

New entrance piers to improve visibility with the public road are also planned.
