Attention Kildare commuters! Charming cottage close to M7 has gone on the market

A three-bedroom cottage on the edge of the Curragh Plains in Kildare has come to the market in Athgarvan with an asking price of €245,000.

Malicks Cottage, Ballysax, is being offered for sale by private treaty through agents Tony Donnelly and Leonard Wilson Keenan.

Described as a “charming cottage”, the bungalow is situated just off the M7 at Junction 12 and within walking distance of Athgarvan National School, the local GAA club and pitch and putt facilities. It is also a short drive from both Newbridge and Kildare Town, with access to rail services, Whitewater Shopping Centre and Kildare Village.

The property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room with open fire, kitchen and dining area, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Agents say the home is well presented and benefits from a secure private off-road parking area to the side, along with a block-built shed.

Athgarvan National School, which has more than 300 pupils enrolled, is located approximately 230 metres from the property. Gaescoil Chill Dara and Newbridge Educate Together National School are also within close proximity.

With demand for homes in south Kildare remaining strong due to commuter links and access to amenities, the listing is expected to attract interest from first-time buyers and those seeking a countryside setting close to town.

The estimated stamp duty on the property is €2,450. Viewing is by appointment through the selling agents.
