CLOSE TO KILCOCK in Co Kildare, Ferrans Lock is where architectural prowess meets serene countryside living. A four-bed home that was originally designed by Duncan Stewart, it spans an impressive 165 m and stands on half an acre.
Merging aesthetics with functionality, inside, you’re greeted by a central glazed entrance hall that’s filled with natural light and sets the tone for the rest of the house.
This house is divided into two distinct wings that cater to specific needs. The living wing features a modern kitchen and a living and dining space. Keen cooks are sure to make use of the 5-ring gas hob, pretty marble countertops, and integrated appliances, while the distinctive sloped ceiling and semi-solid floors in the living area provide plenty of space for hosting guests and everyday family time.
There is also a snug that is home to a solid fuel burning stove. No doubt it would make a great space for more casual evenings in, but for those who work from home, it could also be a handy office.
The sleeping wing of the house has four double bedrooms, three of which have en suite bathrooms. That leaves the family bathroom, which has been recently renovated, to the fourth room.
Outside, there is plenty of scenery and gardens to soak up. The pretty patio is cleverly positioned to take in the countryside views. The house is surrounded by lush lawns and beautifully manicured gardens. There is also a double garage with loft storage space, adding a practical touch and more storage.
It would be easy to think that Ferrans Lock is in the depths of the countryside, yet it’s well-connected. The house is just a short drive away from Kilcock and a mere 15 minutes from Maynooth. Major motorways can be easily accessed by those who might need to work in Dublin. The house is also close to a number of public transport options, including train stations in Enfield and Kilcock. And for anyone who wants to keep active, the Royal Canal Greenway is a haven for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
