CUTE cottage, rural history, woodland setting . . . what's not to love about this property at Hilltown, Bellewstown, Co Meath? Built in 1874 as an addition to the Hilltown Estate, the Herds Cottage was part of the largest dairy in North Leinster from the 1950s to the 1970s. For enthusiastic DIYers, this could make an interesting renovation project to create a larger home within a picturesque setting. The private woodland grounds of 3/4 of an acre will also appeal to those seeking to design a lush country garden, yet the property is not wholly isolated . . . Bellewstown village is with walking distance, while Drogheda is a ten minute drive away. With the necessary planning permission, the cottage could be extended and outhouses converted to a number of uses.
Accommodation currently comprises the entrance hall with tiled floor; high-ceilinged living room with exposed beams and solid fuel range; kitchen with some base units; two bedrooms with fireplaces and timber floors; and bathroom. Outside is the garage and several outbuildings.
