About The Cottage, Fieldstown

Description

A picture-perfect country cottage together with a prime adjoining site, extending to approx. 0.44 hectares / 1.09 acres overall, ideally positioned between Ashbourne and Swords in one of South Meath’s most accessible rural settings. The Cottage at Fieldstown is an instantly appealing country residence dating from the 1950’s, full of warmth, charm and future potential. Occupying a beautiful south-facing setting, the property is presented together with an adjoining site. Extending to approx. 80 sq.m the cottage retains a wonderful sense of character throughout, with a traditional layout centred around the welcoming front entrance. The accommodation offers enormous potential for renovation, extension or redesign, while still maintaining the charm and proportions of the original home. The adjoining site extends to approx. 0.22 hectares / 0.54 acres and is a significant feature of the property. With excellent road frontage, a sunny south-facing orientation and mature natural boundaries, the site presents obvious future potential for those seeking to create an additional residence or substantial gardens, subject to full planning permission. Properties offering this combination of cottage charm, development potential and strategic location are exceptionally difficult to find in the current market. Accommodation The accommodation is arranged in a traditional cottage style and briefly comprises welcoming entrance hall, bedroom to the left, bedroom to the right, additional bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and rear access. The sitting room forms the heart of the home and connects naturally through to the kitchen area overlooking the gardens beyond. The layout is simple, practical and filled with character, offering purchasers an ideal canvas to modernise and create a truly special country home. Grounds & Site Occupying an overall holding of approx. 0.44 hectares / 1.09 acres, the grounds are a major feature of the property. A tarmac driveway leads to the cottage, while mature hedging and landscaping create a private and established setting. To the rear, the south-facing gardens enjoy sunlight throughout the day and provide an idyllic outdoor space with uninterrupted countryside surroundings. A detached shed/garage and stable structures further enhance the appeal of the property and offer excellent storage, hobby or equestrian potential. The adjoining site represents a particularly valuable aspect of the holding. Blank canvas opportunities of this nature in such a well-located area are increasingly rare. Subject to the necessary planning permission, the site offers obvious scope for future development potential in a highly sought-after residential setting. Location Fieldstown offers an exceptional countryside setting in South Meath, combining rural calm with outstanding convenience. Ashbourne and Swords are only minutes away, giving immediate access to shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and commuter routes. Ashbourne Town Centre provides a strong retail and dining mix including Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Aldi and Lidl. Avoca is a mere 10 minute drive away. While the nearby villages of Garristown and Rolestown add to the area’s community feel. Coolquay Lodge, a well known local pub serving excellent food, is minutes down the road. Dublin Airport is approximately 20 minutes from the property, making the location particularly practical for commuters and frequent travellers. The area is recognised for equestrian and outdoor pursuits, with riding schools, country lanes and open countryside all within easy reach. Local sporting amenities include GAA clubs, golf courses, rugby clubs, gyms and a range of walking routes. Access to the M1, M2 and M50 ensures fast connectivity to Dublin City Centre and beyond, while still enjoying the privacy and ease of genuine country living. Special Note The cottage and the adjoining site are held under separate ownerships and are being offered for sale together as one combined holding. Any sale agreed will be subject to the agreement of both owners. Separate Contracts for Sale will issue for each property, with both transactions intended to complete simultaneously.
