Description
Waterfront Georgian home on about 9 acres
Approached through wrought iron gates and along a sweeping tree-lined avenue passing grass paddocks on either side, Bayview House (c.1860) is a beautiful three bay Georgian home extending to approximately 3,200 sq. ft, positioned to take full advantage of its elevated outlook over the Boyne Estuary. The property also comprises a substantial stable yard, millhouse and outbuildings.
Accommodation
The proportions on the ground floor are generous and well-considered and briefly comprise a dual aspect dining and drawing rooms, a cosy sitting room, a kitchen / dining space with access to a garden terrace, utility room and a guest WC providing a versatile layout that adapts naturally to both everyday family living and more formal entertaining. The rear hallway has access to a private courtyard with adjoining two storey mews that is currently used for storage but could be converted subject to the necessary permissions.
Upstairs, each of the 5 bedrooms, master en suite, are light filled and spacious with either a countryside or water view from each window. Also on this level, beside the family bathroom, is a multi-functional room that could be enjoyed as a playroom or indeed a home office it also has a direct access to the garden level.
Bayview House is a property of real substance and character, offering incoming purchasers a platform on which to create something lasting. The architectural form of the house is enhanced by the many original features. Whether the ambition is a private family estate, an equestrian property, or a residence with meaningful potential to develop the ancillary buildings, the scale and quality of what is here provides an unusually strong foundation. Opportunities of this breadth — combining acreage, water views, outbuildings, and a period home of this calibre — are seldom available on the open market in County Meath.
Outbuildings and Yard
Beyond the main house, the property reveals a remarkably complete ensemble of ancillary buildings (4,600 sq ft in total). A cobble lock courtyard is flanked by a coach house, hayshed, and numerous stone-built stables and stores reflect the historic working nature of the estate.
A two-storey old mill building (1,087 sq ft), currently in need of restoration, adds further scope for those seeking additional accommodation or a project to make their own. Five stables serve the equestrian interest of the site, rounding out an offering that is rarely found at this scale and in this setting.
The Land
The 9 acres at Bayview House are arranged to maximise the relationship between house, garden, and countryside. Landscaped gardens surrounded by mature native trees, have idyllic pathways connecting the front and rear gardens which embrace the principal residence. In the rear garden, a herbaceous border leads to a terrace positioned to draw the eye directly towards the water — a view that shifts with the light and the tide throughout the day.
The sheltered paddocks, defined by established boundaries, are well-suited to horses and the overall setting carries a sense of seclusion that belies the property's genuine accessibility to Dublin and the wider north-east region.
