Set on approximately 17.9 hectares (44 acres) of prime agricultural land, this imposing contemporary period-style residence is situated on elevated and private position just minutes from the heritage town of Trim, Co. Meath. Approached through secure electric gates, a long, hedge-lined avenue leads up to the house, unfolding onto a wide gravel driveway that wraps around a formal granite turning circle, planted with specimen shrubs. Mature birch trees and beech hedging provide natural screening and a picturesque backdrop to this elegant countryside setting.
The exterior façade of residence itself combines stone and plaster finishes, enhanced with granite quoins, and is beautifully positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding views while remaining private from neighbouring properties.
The front door opens into a welcoming vestibule, laid in decorative tiled flooring with a feature tile surround. From here, double glass-panelled doors lead into the main entrance hall, which is fitted with elegant tiled flooring and a wide timber staircase. A feature marble fireplace with a stove inset creates a warm focal point on arrival.
To the right of the hall is a light-filled reception room, boasting a dual aspect, double glazed timber sash windows, recessed ceiling detailing, brass light switches, and an open fireplace. Opposite, the main reception room is currently used as a formal living room, also dual aspect, featuring a large stone chimney breast, freestanding stove, and a timber mantle. This room flows into the dining room, where French doors open directly onto the garden.
From the dining room, a set of glazed double doors opens into the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, the centrepiece of the home. This expansive area is perfect for entertaining, with a solid timber kitchen, bespoke cabinetry, stone countertops, and a large centre island, ideal for entertaining. Appliances include a Rangemaster stove, wine fridge, dishwasher, and integrated storage throughout. Off the kitchen is a pantry, fitted with additional cabinetry and shelving, a utility room, guest WC, and a plant room can also be found on the ground floor accommodation. Back in the main entrance hall, a beautifully finished under-stair WC adds further convenience.
The staircase ascends to a spacious landing, where a reading nook or home office is perfectly positioned beneath a large arched sash window that overlooks the approach.
To the left is a large bedroom suite that connects via Jack-and-Jill bathroom to an additional bedroom. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and includes a luxury rain shower and floor-to-ceiling tiling. Another generously sized bedroom lies opposite the landing and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, also finished in contemporary tiling. A fourth bedroom is also accessible from the landing.
Positioned at the rear of the house is the main bedroom, complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub, oversized shower, and bespoke vanity units, as well as a walk-in wardrobe. A further staircase leads to the top floor, which offers excellent potential as a games room, home office, or additional storage space.
YARD & LAND
The lands at the property extend to approximately 16.9 hectares (44 acres) of exceptionally high-quality, well-drained farmland, currently laid out in large, manageable fields under tillage. The fields enjoy excellent access and are bound by mature hedgerows, offering both shelter and privacy, while clearly defining field boundaries. The property is further enhanced by its setting, with some old stone wall remains that add charm and character to the setting. Near the main residence stands a traditional stone outbuilding, offering excellent potential for conversion into outdoor storage or stabling. A larger agricultural shed also lies close to the house, providing further potential for use as stables, machinery storage, or as part of a wider farming operation.
