Ardeevin,

Castletown,

Athboy, Co MeathAsking Price €350,000 BER Exempt

Located on the fringe of the popular town of Athboy, Ardeevin comprises an impressive, yet

immensely charming residence of character set amidst mature grounds and gardens

including a rockery that extend to circa 0.9 of an acre together with out-buildings, including

garage, dairy and cowsheds, reminiscent of a goneby era, sited thereon too. Built in 1938

and being in floor area of some 2,500 sq.ft. or thereabouts, Ardeevin incorporates a

detached three-bay two storey house set beneath a hipped slate roof with brick

chimneystacks and having a roughcast rendered exterior. It features magnificent full-height

bay windows flanking a central bay having recessed porch with round-headed concrete

hood and terrazzo threshold. This property is listed forming part of the National Inventory of

Architectural Heritage (NIAH). In addition to the usual ancillary rooms, the residence

essentially provides three well-appointed reception rooms and at first floor level, there are

five bedrooms. Owing to the presence of the full-height bay windows, the drawing room and

the dining room as well as the two principal bedrooms stand out as exceptionally graceful

rooms due to their light-filled proportions and decorative features. While refurbishment and

retrofitting work will likely be a requirement and aspiration of a buyer, the residence

remains in occupation and so it could be a live and work project, allowing a purchaser

sufficient time to rebuild their resources, completing their dream family home within their

own timeline, budget and style.

A small but vibrant town set within the Boyne Valley, Athboy boasts a wealth of shopping

and community facilities, clubs and amenities to cater for its increasing population. These

include both primary and post primary schools as well as creche, supermarkets,

pharmacies, bank, credit union, hotels, hostelries, tennis and basketball courts, a library,

GAA pitches, rugby and soccer pitches together with an array of community and recreational

groups. Athboy on the N51 is located 18km from Navan and within easy commuting

distance of Dublin which lies just 58km to the south-east. The nearby heritage towns of

Trim, with its magnificent ruins of King Johns Castle, and Kells offer further shopping and

recreational facilities both lying 13km distant from the town respectively. This is a popular

location with city commuters with the M3 being only 14.5km away.
