Between the latter and the rear of the residence, there is a relatively large concrete surfaced apron. All said, there is significant circulation and car-parking space. The site is otherwise generally beautifully enclosed primarily by Beech hedging and has lawned areas to both the front and rear of the residence.

This detached building could make a fantastic additional living unit, for children or particularly for older family given that it is laid exclusively across a ground floor. Aside from that, it could make a great large home-office or gym, or with consents, as consulting rooms or treatment rooms, among other potential uses. LOCATION The location here while set in the countryside, in a cul-de-sac, is highly convenient given that Kildalkey village is 1km and the town of Trim is closeby, as is Athboy. The village of Kildalkey, with Trim a further 9km, provides for convenience shop, public house, award-winning café - Bácús, a very fine landmark cut stone church, GAA club famous for its hurling, and most importantly, an extensive national school campus. Locally there are secondary school, as well as primary school, campuses at Athboy and Trim. Moreover, the Rathcairn Gaeltacht is some 10km distant, where there are both primary and secondary schools offering learning through the medium of the Irish language. Athboy, some 7.5km, is a well-established, expanding and bustling small town that provides for all the essential services to include many shopping, educational (early childcare, primary and post-primary educational campuses), hospitality, including the Darnley Lodge Hotel, and sporting (includes Rugby club) as well as employment, recreational and ecclesiastical facilities, both within the town and in the surrounding hinterland. There is lots to do in or about Athboy including annual festivals namely, The Blue Jean Country Queen Festival, held over each June bank holiday weekend, and the Púca Festival, an immersive Halloween festival, with the local Hill of Ward featuring heavily as a setting. Tlachtga, now known as the Hill of Ward, is an important prehistoric site near the town having views towards the other important hills of Meath, including Tara, Loughcrew (near Oldcastle) and Lloyd (home to Ireland`s only inland lighthouse near Kells), that are all worthy of a visit too. The nearby Girley Bog Walk is ideal for a simple trek, with or without dogs. Nearby Causey Farm is a headline attraction. Thrills there include Farmaphobia, Ireland`s biggest Halloween scare attraction; Christmas Experience; Summer Camp; Farm Experience; Ablefest and Dogitude. Home to Ireland`s oldest bridge, in operation since 1393, the heritage town of Trim, needs little introduction. Set along the River Boyne and steeped in history, Trim is a picture-perfect town located 28 miles north-west of Dublin. Trim Castle, a most majestic sight in the centre of this pretty town, is the largest existing Norman Castle in Europe. One can enjoy the Slí na Sláinte walking trail which starts at the Castle on the River Boyne, routes along the Porchfields passing by the monuments at Newtown, returning along the Dublin Road and capturing magnificent sights and views of other landmarks along the way. Trim offers a vast array of shopping and educational facilities with excellent pre-school, primary and secondary school campuses. It has an abundance of hostelries including hotels, character pubs, fine restaurants and cafés for all tastes. It is big on recreation and sport too with fantastic golf, soccer and GAA clubs and associated facilities, including Aura Trim Leisure Centre. It is home to County Meath Golf Club and South Meath Golf Club, as well as Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa and Golf resort. Other golf courses locally include Royal Tara, Summerhill, Rathcore, Killeen Castle, Black Bush and Headfort at Kells, amongst others. The Royal Canal is another important local recreational amenity. Its associated Greenway spans some 130 km, starts in Maynooth, Co Kildare and finishes up in Clondra, Co Longford, transversing both Counties Meath and Westmeath. It is ideal for a leisurely walk, an energetic jog or run, or indeed a bike ride.
