Detached three-bay single-storey cottage, c.1920, with single-bay single-storey side elevation to north-east having single-bay single-storey box bay window. Reroofed and extended, c.1970, comprising single-bay single-storey flat-roofed return to rear to south-east. Hipped roof. Replacement artificial slate, c.1970. Concrete ridge tiles. Rendered chimney stack. Overhanging timber eaves on brackets. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Flat-roof to return. Bitumen felt. Roughcast walls. Painted. Course to plinth. Square-headed window openings (including to box bay window). Rendered sills (concrete to return). Original timber casement windows. Timber casement windows to return. Diagonal tongue-and-groove timber panelled door. Set back from road in own grounds.
Park Cottage is an attractive, modest-scale house of the early twentieth century, built on a symmetrical plan and which retains much of its original character. The house is picturesquely set in its own grounds and retains early fenestration and a timber panelled door to the original portion. The addition to rear does not detract from the character of the original house. The house is located adjacent to the gateway into Moone Mills and it is possible that the building was originally associated with that industrial complex.

post box151 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick would have called this Moone post box a stubborn little leprechaun with a crown on top. It’s sitting there dead, still wearing its royal badge like it owns the whole abbey wall. Have a sandwich and admire the rust.

Moone Abbey HouseCountry house · 214 yd

Explorer Tom Moone Abbey House has a poet who fell in the ditch nearby and never got up. The view over the River Greese is designed to make you feel spiritually elevated or just very dizzy. Visit, then text me when you’ve stopped crying.

Stone CrossCross, High cross · 279 yd

Explorer Tom Stone Cross in Moone was moved inside because a fox took charge of the garden. It has biblical scenes that look more like a very confused family photo. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

CrossCross, High cross · 281 yd

Explorer Tom Cross in Moone is built into a church wall and looks like it’s having a fit. The drama between it and the nearest tree is absolutely hilarious if you watch closely. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

European Larch843 ydBurtown House and GardensHeritage attraction · 2.4 miEuropean ash2.6 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Kildare was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he forgot his name. The tree doesn't care, it just loves the mystery. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Lorcán Ó TuathailMemorial · 3.8 miInch CastleCastle, tower house · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Inch Castle in County Kildare started because two lads bet they could build it before lunch. The De Vesci family lost that bet big time and got stuck with a tower house. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Ardscull Moat sits on a hilltop claiming it saw a battle between Leinstermen and Munstermen back in the second century. That’s a long time to be waiting for proof. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
