IF YOU’RE LOOKING to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Knockavery Lodge in Athboy, Co Meath might be worth adding to your must-see list.
A four-bed property, the original stone cottage at Knockavery Lodge was built in 1920, with two extensions expanding the space to a total of 2,098 sq ft. Sitting on 0.64 acres of tranquil grounds, Knockavery Lodge is just a five-minute drive from Athboy town.
Despite being updated over the years, the property still boasts much of its original charm. A hardwood stable door opens to the front hall, where a stone wall and sash windows from the original cottage make a lasting first impression.
With a dining room, conservatory, sitting room and large kitchen, there’s plenty of space to unwind in peace at Knockavery Lodge.
The dining room enjoys a cast iron stove, slate flooring and original timber ceiling, while the country-style kitchen has been updated to suit the keen home cook, with ample storage and preparation space.
The sitting room, which features double doors leading to the patio, boasts high ceilings, hardwood oak flooring and a cast iron fireplace, making it perfectly-suited for use year-round. To the rear of the property is the light-filled conservatory, with double doors also opening from here to the rear garden.
The four bedrooms are spread throughout the home, with fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom. Two of the bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms. A utility room and family bathroom complete the accommodation. Outside, a block-built shed provides additional storage, while the paved patio areas to the rear are perfectly suited to al fresco dining.
Trim town is just a 20-minute drive from Knockavery Lodge, while the drive to Dublin city centre will take about an hour, meaning residents will never be far from whatever they need.
