The property is within easy access of the M7 at Junction 9A, which provides speedy access to Dublin City.

The property is also within a short distance of choice Golf Clubs including The K Club, Palmerstown House, Castlewarden Golf & Country Club, Killeen Castle and the neighbouring Millicent Golf and Country Club and benefits from the “extensive” range of amenities and transport services that Sallins, Clane and nearby Naas have to offer.
