FANCY LIVING ON one of Ireland’s historic estates? If so, this three-bed home on Headfort Estate, Co Meath could be for you.
Located just outside Kells, 11 The Lower Courtyard is on the market for €425,000 through Keenan Auctioneers. Headfort is rich in history and dates back to the 1760s, when it was designed by Dublin-based architect George Semple for Sir Thomas Taylour, who went on to become the 1st Earl of Bective.
The property is located in the south-east corner of the courtyard, which is centred around a beautiful fountain. Headfort Demesne offers a spectacular place to call home, with seemingly endless acres of country trails and walks along the River Blackwater and Headfort Golf Club on the grounds.
Not to forget Headfort House, which dates back 300 years and is just a short stroll from No 11. There’s also Headfort School (a private boarding school) and Headfort Montessori School.
Stepping inside, No 11 measures approximately 1,500 sq ft over two floors. The interior is tastefully designed throughout and features a stylish, neutral colour palette.
This is perfectly demonstrated in the sitting room, which is flooded with an abundance of natural light thanks to its south facing aspect. French doors open to a private patio area, making for the perfect spot to unwind on sunny summer evenings.
Back inside, another set of French doors lead to the dining area. This space is separate to the kitchen and has enough room to seat six, meaning you can seat your guests and leave the chaos of the kitchen behind when you’re hosting.
Each available piece of space in the kitchen has been cleverly put to use, with cabinets, counter tops and hanging storage available.
Moving upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, while each room has spacious wardrobe storage.
One of these bedrooms is currently in use as a playroom and steps away from the neutral colour scheme to include eye-catching tartan wallpaper.
Outside Headfort Demesne, Kells town is a convenient five-minute drive away, while Navan town can be reached in less than 20 minutes.
With schools, shops, sports clubs and eateries nearby, 11 The Lower Courtyard offers a picturesque, peaceful place to retreat to each day.
