LANDMARK NAAS PROPERTY ON THE BANKS OF THE CANAL
The
Gasworks in Naas dates back to 1865 when the barges from Dublin delivered coal
to the site which in turn supplied heating and lighting to the town. This was originally the Managers House which
was extensively renovated and extended in 1998.
The chimney which is still in place offers an attractive feature and
historical interest of a time long past but an important part of Naas history.
This
charming property comprises a single storey and two storey residence containing
c.242 sq. m. (c.2,600 sq. ft.) presented in excellent condition throughout
standing on c. 1 Acre overlooking the canal.
Approached through an electric gate to a gravel forecourt with stone
pillars and gates leading to a rear yard and large garden enclosed by
trees. The gasworks is only a short walk
from the town centre with restaurants, schools, churches, pubs, banks, shopping
but has the tranquillity adjacent to the canal, ideal for leisurely walks.
Commuters
have the benefit of the bus route, Motorway and a regular rail service from
Sallins direct to the city centre.
On
entering the house you have a hall with pine floor leading into a large open
plan kitchen/livingroom with brick centre chimney with solid fuel stove on one
site and Rayburn 2 oven oil fired cooker on the other with pine fitted kitchen
units, gas hob, electric oven, Belfast style sink, integrated dishwasher,
vaulted ceilings and French doors to rear garden. Off the kitchen/livingroom is an office with
