LOT 1: AN IDYLLIC c. 3 ACRE RESIDENTIAL HOLDING WITH COTTAGE AND FARM SHED. *** BEING PART OF A GREATER HOLDING AS DETAILED BELOW. *** Set on c. 11 acres (SM), the offering of this property to the market presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a small country home, ripe for extension or for a replacement dwelling. Set in rural countryside, with magnificent views of Slieve na Calliagh in the Loughcrew Hills, Meath`s highest point, this property will appeal to aspiring small holders, those seeking to extend their current acreage, and those seeking space, privacy, and tranquillity. The subject property essentially comprises a beautifully and idyllically located residential holding with a cottage together with back-to-back lean-to shed sited thereon. The vernacular single storey cottage dwelling, with range cooker, serves as a reminder of a gone by era, when it served as a cosy hearty home. Recently reroofed with corrugated iron sheeting and understood to be originally of thatch, it essentially accommodates two bedrooms, kitchen living room, scullery and bathroom. Given the presence of the cottage, one could potentially remodel and extend, or alternatively seek permission for a replacement dwelling. Either way, this is a unique opportunity for those seeking to develop and customize their very own dream home and small holding. The lands, extending to c. 11 acres (SM) currently under clean grass pasture and laid out primarily across three grassland fields, were most recently grazed by sheep. They are well sheltered, in the main, by mature hedgerow and trees. The transport of livestock for purchase or sale will be a handy errant given that both Delvin and Carnaross livestock marts lie within 15 minutes drive or so from Seraghstown. With its apparent high-quality and lush land, this holding is potentially suited to many alternative agri-enterprises including equestrian, tillage and agri-tourism. Those requiring space will be well enamoured by this property and it presents a unique opportunity for those in search of the good life too. Chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, and donkeys could be on the cards alongside a vegetable garden and a polytunnel too, who knows? Moreover, owing to the availability of an abundance of road frontage attaching to the lots, there is potential for the erection of additional dwelling(s), subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. Viewing is recommended. LOCATION Fronting a typically quiet lane, with its lovely rural feel, this property set in rolling countryside has magnificent views. It is conveniently situated some 4km from the village of Crossakiel and 10km from Drumbarragh (N3/M3 route), while Kells is only a few minutes further. Local villages include Crossakiel, Kilskyre and Clonmellon. Between the three, together with the surrounding hinterland, a good range of local conveniences, necessities and amenities are catered for including sporting facilities and recreational clubs; healthcare; primary schools; local retail; hostelries, churches, hardware and agriculture provisioners and much more. For those into ball sports, there is the local convenience of Kilskyre Hurling Club and Community Activity Centre with a FIFA certified 4G 1 & 2 Star Astro. A fortnightly Saturday farmers market takes place in Clonmellon offering local artisan products. Girley Bog Walk, a beautiful natural amenity, is nearby too. Crossakiel (R154) 4km - Kilskyre 6.5km - Clonmellon (N52) 7km- Athboy 13km Delvin 11km - Carnaross 12km Kells 15km - Trim 24km 30km equidistant both Navan & Mullingar N3 at Drumbarragh 10km M3 at Kells 13.5 km Kells offers an excellent array of shopping outlets, both authentic indigenous and the multiples, including SuperValu and Aldi; educational with preschools, crèches, primary, and secondary schools; recreational; employment and other facilities. It is a popular tourist hub within the Royal County. Local leisure facilities include two award-winning 18-hole golf courses at Headfort, tennis club, swimming pool, and equestrian centres along with a range of other sports clubs and their grounds including soccer, rugby, football, hurling, and handball codes. There is much to do in or about Kells including Hinterland, an annual festival of literature and arts. Aside from the River Blackwater, there are several lakes nearby making the area ideal for those fond of fishing or water sports. Towards Oldcastle, the Loughcrew Hills incorporate a complex of passage tombs, one of Ireland`s most magnificent and abounding archaeological landscapes, ideal for weekend exploration. Deerpark near Virginia on Lough Ramor, provides another similar natural resource. Richard Corrigan`s culinary and hospitality hotspot, Virginia Park Lodge, is adjacent there too. Fore Abbey, with its magnificent seven wonders, and Fore Distillery with visitor centre and coffee shop are also well worth a visit. A little further away is Mullaghmeen Forest, Europe`s largest planted Beech forest - ideal for a trek, with or without dogs. With the M3 adjacent and the N52 (Dundalk/Limerick Road) routing by, Kells is one of the premier satellite locations ideal for those commuting to Dublin and elsewhere through the provinces. Regular buses run along the M3/N3 routing through the town adding to the choice of travel options to Dublin City & Airport and back to Donegal through Cavan. Given its excellent transport links, Kells is popular with Dublin commuters and those who traverse the country for work. Employees from the ICT, E-commerce, and pharma sectors based around Blanchardstown / Damastown as well as ICTs based around Leixlip often choose Kells as a place to call home, citing lifestyle, ease of commuting, and affordability as the rationale for their choice. Such companies include giants like Synopsys, IBM, PayPal, Symantec, eBay, PayPal, Bristol Myers-Squibb, Alexion, Helsinn Birex, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel, with recent additions MSD, near Dunboyne, and Facebook`s data centre at Clonee. For those who wish to immerse themselves in retail therapy, Navan Shopping Centre is about thirty minutes` drive and the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre is a further fifteen minutes or so. LOTTING The vendors reserve the right to dispose of the property in its entirety as a single lot, or in lots as outlined below: Lot 1: c. 3 acre residential holding, primarily set out in one field, including cottage and farm shed.
