A “BEAUTIFUL” country home has hit the Irish market for €2.2million – and it comes with huge perks.
Weston House in Thomastown, Duleek, Co. Meath is selling for €2,250,000.
With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the home spans 693 square metres, making it perfect for a family.
The property has been restored to a high standard, having originally been built in 1827.
It was then enhanced during the Victorian era to become what is now a Victorian or Georgian country estate.
Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by an entrance hallway.
It is complete with 3.5m-high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and elegant oak flooring.
This entrance hall leads to the drawing room, complete with tall sash windows to give a large amount of natural light and south-facing garden views.
The formal dining room, a beautiful addition to the home, extends 7.7m in length and is perfect for entertaining.
The country-style kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances and bespoke cabinetry; double doors lead to the rear garden terrace.
This terrace overlooks the manicured gardens and the private tennis court.
There is a library, complete with American walnut panelling, custom cabinetry, and a restored fireplace.
There are feature fireplaces in the main reception rooms and bedrooms.
There is also a cloakroom, powder room, and a communications room on the ground floor.
In the basement there is a newly fitted cinema, with bespoke paneling and a 2.8m screen.
Besides this there is a gym, a custom-fitted bar, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar, along with two large storage rooms.
At the other end of the basement are a newly fitted bedroom, a shower room, and a laundry room.
On the top floor are the other four bedrooms; one benefits from an ensuite, while two of the others share a family bathroom.
The master suite is a highlight of the house, with his-and-hers dressing rooms and a luxurious bathroom including a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, and separate WC.
COUNTRY FEEL
The estate is behind a tree-lined entrance, with electric gates protecting the site.
There is a large tarmac driveway which leads through a secondary entrance before reaching the house.
The site is elevated and set well back from the road, giving the new owners a country feel while remaining very accessible to a range of amenities.
The stunning gardens are well-maintained, complete with mature shrubs, vibrant flowerbeds, and manicured lawns.
The original walled garden is still intact, offering a peaceful retreat.
The home sits on a whopping 38 acres.
The estate also includes a large stone and red-brick outbuilding dating back to 1837, which can be converted into a range of different things including guest accommodation, event space, or additional facilities.
PRIVATE TENNIS COURT
The original coach house has been recently renovated and has two self-contained one-bedroom apartments, and is surrounded by several smaller outbuildings which could be turned into a number of spaces.
Also to the rear of the home is a private tennis court, an expansive terrace, and a 1km private walking trail through the grounds.
According to the listing, this home is “a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country home of extraordinary quality.”
It is located just two kilometres from the N2 motorway and only 30 minutes from Dublin Airport.
