THERE’S A SURPRISE at every turn of this 199 m² home in Co Meath. Surrounded by landscaped gardens, take a little stroll around the .4 of an acre the house sits on and you’ll come across a treehouse and polytunnels – ideal for the kids to play and for any keen gardeners interested in growing their own veg.
But it’s the delightful mix of classic and contemporary styles that make this property unlike many others. The original cottage with its thatched roof, dates back to 1899, while the extension was added over a century later. The two are connected by a flat roofed hallway.
The rooms in the newer part of the build are full of natural light and comprise a living room, open plan kitchen and a living room that has a triple-aspect and a double-height space at one end. Double doors from here lead to the back garden.
Other features include a pellet stove and a condenser boiler for guaranteed cosiness. The BER is a very reasonable C2.
Each bedroom is a double and ensures plenty of space for family or guests. The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom while the other two (currently three) share a family bathroom on the ground floor. The landing on the first floor is a bedroom right now but could make for a handy home office if needed instead.
Outside, there’s a driveway with parking to the front and a lawn beside the original building. The modern patio to the back of the house has a stylish pergola and looks out onto another lawn as well as the polytunnel.
For commuters, Drogheda, that has a train is just fifteen minutes away. The M1 is also close if you need to commute to Dublin regularly.
This character-filled house sits between the villages of Stamullen and Gormanston, so anyone who buys this home will have their pick of schools and sports clubs ensuring a very active family life in the Meath countryside.
Saint Bernadette’s, Stamullen Road, Gormanston, Co Meath is on the market for €545,000 through DNG.
