Nestled on an idyllic c.10-acre site in the peaceful townland of Baltrasna, Oldcastle, Co. Meath, this magnificent detached sandstone residence over 3,300 sq.f in size presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding country home in one of County Meath's most scenic locations.
Set beneath the historic Loughcrew Hills and within close proximity to the renowned Loughcrew Estate, this picturesque property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside while offering complete peace, privacy and an exceptional quality of life.
From the moment you step through the front door, the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail are immediately evident. A striking entrance hall welcomes you with beautiful red brick feature walls, solid tongue-and-groove oak flooring and an impressive solid timber staircase, creating a warm and elegant first impression.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, thoughtfully designed for modern family living and effortless entertaining. The bespoke solid in-frame oak kitchen is beautifully appointed with an impressive freestanding island, matching dresser, integrated appliances and a classic Belling range cooker. A spacious walk-in pantry provides additional storage and appliance space, while exposed solid timber beams add warmth and character, perfectly complementing the country style of this exceptional kitchen.
The adjoining dining and living area offers generous proportions for family gatherings and special occasions, centred around a beautiful red brick feature fireplace complete with a Dovre stove, creating a cosy focal point throughout the seasons.
Flowing seamlessly from the main living space is a bright and inviting sunroom, where large picture windows frame the spectacular garden and countryside views. Double doors open onto a beautifully paved Indian sandstone patio, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
An additional living room provides further versatile accommodation, featuring another attractive red brick fireplace with a Stanley stove, offering a cosy retreat for quieter evenings.
The spacious master suite enjoys its own private ensuite and a charming Juliet balcony, allowing you to wake each morning to uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Upstairs three further generously sized bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, two of which benefit from their own ensuites, while a family bathroom and separate storage room complete the floor, making this home ideal for growing families or those who enjoy hosting guests.
The grounds surrounding the property are every bit as impressive as the residence itself. Beautifully landscaped mature gardens feature a stunning man-made natural pond teeming with aquatic life, creating a peaceful focal point that attracts an abundance of birds and wildlife. A mature orchard boasts apple, pear, plum and gooseberry trees, providing both seasonal beauty and an array of homegrown produce throughout the year.
The gardens are further enhanced by an abundance of colourful flowering plants and established herbaceous borders, ensuring vibrant displays from spring through to autumn. Mature climbing roses gracefully adorn walls and structures, adding character, fragrance and timeless charm to the outdoor spaces. Carefully designed planting throughout the grounds creates a wonderful sense of privacy while offering a succession of colour and texture across the seasons.
A spacious patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining family and friends, or simply relaxing while taking in the tranquil surroundings and picturesque garden views. Combining beautifully maintained lawns, mature planting and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces, the grounds provide an exceptional setting that complements the quality and character of the residence itself.
The impressive entrance is approached through electric gates with natural stone piers and decorative railings, leading to a sweeping tree-lined driveway bordered by mature Red Oak, Beech and Copper Beech trees, setting the tone for this remarkable home.
Beneath the residence is a substantial basement and garage incorporating a stainless steel sink, hot water system and extensive storage space, providing excellent practicality for everyday living.
A further standout feature is the substantial detached sandstone workshop / garage extending to approximately 1,270 sq. ft. over two floors. Finished to complement the main residence and accessed via its own timber gate with metal frame, the building features roller doors and offers endless potential for a workshop, home business, crafts, hobbies, additional storage or a variety of other uses, subject to any necessary consents.
