The Cottage
Fieldstown
Co. Meath
K67 H953

A picture-perfect country cottage together with a prime adjoining site, extending to approx. 0.44 hectares / 1.09 acres overall, ideally positioned between Ashbourne and Swords in one of South Meath’s most accessible rural settings.

The Cottage at Fieldstown is an instantly appealing country residence dating from the 1950’s, full of warmth, charm and future potential. Occupying a beautiful south-facing setting, the property is presented together with an adjoining site.

Extending to approx. 80 sq.m the cottage retains a wonderful sense of character throughout, with a traditional layout centred around the welcoming front entrance. The accommodation offers enormous potential for renovation, extension or redesign, while still maintaining the charm and proportions of the original home.

The adjoining site extends to approx. 0.22 hectares / 0.54 acres and is a significant feature of the property. With excellent road frontage, a sunny south-facing orientation and mature natural boundaries, the site presents obvious future potential for those seeking to create an additional residence or substantial gardens, subject to full planning permission.

Properties offering this combination of cottage charm, development potential and strategic location are exceptionally difficult to find in the current market.

Accommodation
The accommodation is arranged in a traditional cottage style and briefly comprises welcoming entrance hall, bedroom to the left, bedroom to the right, additional bedroom, sitting room, kitchen and rear access.
The sitting room forms the heart of the home and connects naturally through to the kitchen area overlooking the gardens beyond. The layout is simple, practical and filled with character, offering purchasers an ideal canvas to modernise and create a truly special country home.

Grounds & Site
Occupying an overall holding of approx. 0.44 hectares / 1.09 acres, the grounds are a major feature of the property. A tarmac driveway leads to the cottage, while mature hedging and landscaping create a private and established setting.

To the rear, the south-facing gardens enjoy sunlight throughout the day and provide an idyllic outdoor space with uninterrupted countryside surroundings. A detached shed/garage and stable structures further enhance the appeal of the property and offer excellent storage, hobby or equestrian potential.

The adjoining site represents a particularly valuable aspect of the holding. Blank canvas opportunities of this nature in such a well-located area are increasingly rare. Subject to the necessary planning permission, the site offers obvious scope for future development potential in a highly sought-after residential setting.

Ashbourne is about 20 km north of Dublin city centre, and is bypassed by the M2 motorway. In response to the growing population of nearby Dublin, a new scheme of houses was built in Ashbourne. The growth in Ashbourne's population has spurred expansion of local enterprise and retail to cater for the growing populations needs. Many new retail units have been opened in recent years, and Fairyhouse Racecourse is located 10 km away. There is an 18 hole golf course on the outskirts of the town and several sports clubs in the town. A series of shopping streets are currently being built as part of a scheme to give Ashbourne the type of retail centre more in keeping with other towns.
