Leavalley, Confey,

McDonald Property are delighted to introduce Leavalley, Confey to the market.

This property features a detached residence situated on an exceptional site spanning 0.25 hectares (0.617 acres), designated for residential development (Folio KE5872). The property offers endless possibilities, whether for renovation, extension, or redevelopment (subject to planning permission).
 
Nestled in a picturesque country setting, the property boasts exceptional privacy in an unparalleled location. It's ideally located less than 1km from Confey Train Station, which offers frequent services for convenient commuting. Beyond that, it’s just 1km from River Forest Shopping Centre, 1.9km from Leixlip Village, and 4km from Lucan Village. It offers convenient access to a selection of local schools. Additionally, it is close to major employers and educational institutions, including Intel and Maynooth University.
 
The property is 18km West of the GPO on Dublin City’s O’Connell Street. Other easily accessible locations include Dunboyne (5.6km), Clonee (6.8km), and Clonsilla (7.7km). Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is 8.7km away, Blanchardstown Shopping Centre is 9.7km away, and Dublin Airport is 22.6km away, ensuring strong connectivity to key areas. 

This property offers a rare blend of country tranquillity and urban convenience. It is perfect for families seeking space, professionals needing easy city access, or investors looking for untapped potential.
 
Leavalley’s standout feature is its spacious, well-divided garden, perfect for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and privacy seekers. Birdsong enhances the tranquillity, while tall mature trees, hedging, and other lush greenery provide seclusion. The property also boasts a private fruit garden with four apple trees, offering a delightful opportunity for homegrown produce. A large driveway provides ample parking, a rockery adds charm, and a former sandpit offers potential for a separate patio.
 
The residence, although in need of extensive refurbishment, presents a blank canvas for buyers to create a home tailored to their own style, preferences, and budget. With approximately 151 square meters (1,625 square feet) of accommodation and five bedrooms (one of which can be converted into a living room), there is plenty of scope to reimagine the layout. Recent upgrades, including newly replaced floors in one bedroom and the dining room, as well as a refelted flat roof, improve both comfort and durability. These enhancements help ensure a smoother transition for new owners while reducing immediate renovation needs.
 
For those with development aspirations, Leavalley offers a unique blank canvas. With its generous site, there is the opportunity to demolish the existing dwelling and develop a small number of modern homes (subject to planning permission), thereby maximizing the site’s value and liveability. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to verify the availability and adequacy of necessary services to support any proposed plans.

Further enhancing the site’s potential, the property includes four outbuildings: a former garage/workshop, ex-washhouse, shed, and a tiny ex-pumphouse. The first three require roof repairs and possibly other work, while the ex-pumphouse remains in good condition. These structures offer valuable potential for storage, workspace, or utility use. Outbuildings will not be cleared; any contents or repairs are the buyer’s responsibility.
 
The property is located within an area covered by the Draft Confey Masterplan issued by Kildare County Council. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence:
