Detached house for Sale in Ardee, Louth

Nestled in a beautiful rolling countryside setting, this majestic residential property perfectly combines its characterful olde-worlde charm, from the original stone cottage, with a contemporary light-filled architect designed extension thus transforming it into a beautiful comfortable and modern family home. Having well-established landscaped private gardens, both the house and its studio / summerhouse set at the bottom of the garden, seamlessly blend into the half-acre site and its country setting.

From the front this appears to be a pretty cottage set behind rambling rose plants, but back some years ago, it was expertly and sensitively extended to create a four-bedroom 175 sq. metre house, treble its original size. The cottage was tastefully and wholesomely refurbished while retaining many of its original features with the stone cut and red brick exposed to cleverly integrate with the new extended home.

The expansive and central kitchen and dining area is naturally lit by a wall of glass and from here French doors open to the large, sunny landscaped gardens. Features of the kitchen and dining room include bespoke hand-crafted kitchen cabinetry with an island unit, and a vaulted ceiling. Its work space is supplemented by a utility room with its own door to the outside. Reception spaces include a living room with a feature brick fireplace, fitted with stove, stone walls and pitch pine floor, as well as a study / home office and welcoming hall. There are four double bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, all located on the one level.

LOCATION
While set in rolling countryside, this property is strategically located approx. 1km or so from the N2, ten minutes drive north-west of the busy town of Ardee (on N52 Dundalk/Limerick Road) and fifteen minutes drive from the M1 motorway ensuring ease of access to locations like Dublin, Drogheda, Dundalk and Belfast. Its location will prove ideal for those who may need to travel in the north-east, east-midlands or northeast-southwest directions.

More locally Ardee and Carrickmacross are bustling towns that offer a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and services. Tallanstown primary school is the popular choice locally and for secondary schools there are a multitude of campuses serving the area including establishments at Ardee, Carrickmacross, Dundalk and Drogheda. There are GAA clubs in the locality and with Ardee RFC and two soccer clubs in the town, Ardee Celtic FC and Square United, footie fanatics are spoiled for choice. Golfers will be impressed here too with a choice of courses locally including Nuremore, Ardee Golf Club, Mannan Castle Golf Club, Headfort Golf Club at Kells and County Louth Golf Club at beautiful Baltray. This is but a short list, there`s much else to see and do locally, why not come on down and explore for yourself?

Add to that, since last November, trains now depart every hour from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Grand Central Station, fifteen times a day, Monday to Saturday, from 6am and 8 times a day on Sundays.
