CO MEATH is ever closer to the capital with the completion of the Ashbourne bypass making the journey more of a hop than a long-distance haul. Ratoath retains its village atmosphere yet is an ideal spot for those seeking to combine a country location with city convenience. No 18 Fairyhouse Lodge, with circa 3,200 sq ft and five bedrooms, represents great value at 795,000 compared to what is available for an equivalent figure in the capital, and also when considering this is ready to walk into.
No 18 is a detached house, complete with spacious drive to the front and sheltered, private garden to the rear. There are nice design touches throughout, such as the wallpaper in the hall and saffron paint in the living room. Attractive features include the antique cast-iron fireplace in the living room and the solid hardwood floors.
Accommodation at ground level opens from the hall, leading to the study with built-in storage; fully fitted kitchen; utility room; guest cloakroom; family room (converted from the garage); living room;
and formal dining room opening directly to the sun room. Upstairs are the master bedroom en-suite . . . including a steam room; four further bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) and main bathroom.
