SOLICITOR WITH CARRIAGE OF SALE Mr Kevin Martin Malone & Martin Market Street, Trim, Co Meath Tel: 046 9431256 Cherrytree is a beautiful Parnellite stone characterful cottage built in 1880. In recent years, this unique home has been extensively but sympathetically refurbished and retrofitted. Moreover, it has been nurtured by its current exacting owner. Extensive electrical, plumbing, heating and insulation upgrades were undertaken, together with the fitting of an Oak painted kitchen, flooring, and fully tiled bathroom with rainfall shower, this property has been transformed into the comfortable and elegant home that it is today, totally conducive with modern day living. Add to that, planning permission has recently been obtained to extend the residence, notwithstanding that for most, this gem is perfect as it is. This beautiful semi-detached cottage residence sits on just over a quarter of an acre of grounds and gardens, with the rear garden predominately laid under lawn with a fabulous Cherry tree at its centre. There is a Loghouse style home office sited there too, suitable for a multitude of uses. To the front, in the main, is of pebble surface, providing for ample parking for residents and their guests. LOCATION Set in the heart of the Boyne Valley, amongst rolling countryside, Cherrytree Cottage is located some 5km, as the crow flies, west of the Hill of Tara, the ancient ceremonial and burial site and seat of the High Kings of Ireland that also features in Irish mythology. Just one kilometre or so from Cherrytree Cottage is Oberstown Cross Roads with Swans public house and shop. A little further up one will find both St Colmcille’s primary school and church (RC). Nearby you will also find Fox’s Castle Lounge and ‘Mrs O’s’ – J. O’Connell’s iconic public house and horse stables featured in the Guinness ‘White Christmas’ advertisement. Cherrytree Cottage fronts the L1005, a road which links the N2 to the R147 (Navan/Dunshaughlin Road), both about four minutes drive, allowing easy connection with the M2 and M3 motorways respectively. The town of Navan is some 14km distant while the expanding centres of Dunshaughlin, Ratoath and Ashbourne are 8.5km, 11km and 14km distant respectively. These urban centres provide for an extensive range of shopping facilities, restaurants, pubs, cinemas, business services and much more. Blanchardstown Centre is 25 minutes drive and is also serviced by the R147 bus routes. The location is popular with commuters offering an easy commute to Dublin City and Airport. There is a local bus network servicing the locality as well as an extensive commuter service along the R147. In addition, a commuter train service (park and ride) at Dunboyne is a twenty minute or so drive from the property. The locality is served by national schools including those at Skyrne (1.8km) and Rathfeigh (2.2km). There is an excellent choice of post primary schools too including those at Dunshaughlin, Ratoath and Navan. The area is very well catered for in terms of recreational and sporting facilities with an extensive range of sport codes accommodated. Gaelic football, hurling, soccer and rugby are particularly well facilitated locally. The golf enthusiast will be impressed by fantastic courses within a few minutes drive including the famous Jack Nicklaus designed course at Killeen Castle, Royal Tara Golf Club and Black Bush Golf Club. Rathfeigh Pitch and Putt is also within walking distance. Race-goers will be spoilt too with Navan Racecourse and Fairyhouse close by.
