Bert House, Kilberry, Athy, Co Kildare €3.5 million
This seventeen-bedroom country house was restored and renovated as a hotel by its current owners, but could be returned to function as a private home.

Just over two miles from Athy, the rooms retain many original features with fine plasterwork ceilings, mahogany doors, and a period staircase and sash windows.

A tree-lined avenue leads to the house, which is on the banks of the river Barrow and has an ornamental fountain in the grounds. In the heart of horse country, the house is within striking distance of Naas, Punchestown and the Curragh for racegoers. At 1,858 square metres, it also includes staff offices, a dry store and a fitness suite with spa, sauna and steam room.
