நிறைய 20002031, 76 Castletown Manor, Athboy, Co Meath C15 RX4W

Perfectly pitched on the front row of Castletown Manor, No. 76 essentially incorporates a characterful, yet modern, A-rated Georgian style detached four-bedroom family home that extends to a generous c. 2,000 sq.ft. in floor area. While many dream of owning a period property, following delving they soon realise, that the cost of renovating, restoring and retrofitting along with ongoing maintenance, is cost prohibitive. No. 76 offers a wholesome alternative in terms of style, and both cost and energy efficiencies.

After entering though the welcoming entrance foyer of this highly energy-efficient and comfortable home, there are doors off, to the left and right, leading to the living room and sitting room respectively. A door ahead leads to the expansive kitchen cum dining room, which has double internal doors that link to living room, and exterior French doors flanked by glazed units make for an incredibly bright primary space, made all the brighter by its southeasterly aspect. Beyond the kitchen is a versatile utility room , with exterior door leading to rear garden, and an internal door which leads to a guest WC, conveniently located on the ground floor. Meanwhile on the first floor sit four double bedrooms , with the largest having an ensuite, while the others share the large family bathroom. A spacious landing with hotpress storage off, separate the rooms and ensures privacy and space.

Castletown Manor is one of the more recently completed developments by reputable local builder Hora Homes. Over the years, the Hora name has grown synonymous with quality residential developments having completed various other housing projects at locations including Donabate, Dunshaughlin, Trim and elsewhere within Athboy.

Seeing`s believing, and so an early visit and viewing is both recommended and welcomed.

LOCATION
Set within walking distance, on the fringe of Athboy, is Castletown Manor, a newly developed residential neighbourhood. No. 76 is perfectly positioned on the front row. It has a lovely southeasterly rear aspect and is nicely set back from, and overlooking, the Ballivor Road. Connection with the N51 (Drogheda/Slane/Navan/Delvin route) is really convenient, after a mere 400 meters or so. Athboy is a popular location with Dublin city (and environs) commuters for many reasons, not least its convenience to the M3, only 13 km (Junction 9 Navan North).

A small but vibrant town set within the Boyne Valley, Athboy with its great sense of community, boasts a wealth of shopping outlet, facilities, clubs and amenities to cater for its resident population. These include both primary and post-primary schools, as well as Athboy Childcare Centre (3 months to 12 years) along with an afterschool club; supermarkets; pharmacies; credit union; various unique hostelries; tennis and basketball courts; a public library; and GAA, rugby and soccer pitches together with an array of community and recreational groups. Local hospitality can be enjoyed at The Darnley Lodge Hotel, a popular spot for dining and events. The Fair Green, encompassing six-and-a-half acres and where locals traded livestock for centuries, now stands transformed into a beautiful parkland amenity with pathways and public benches.

The local Gaeltacht area of Rathcairn is located only 5 km from Athboy. There, there is a full-day creche service together with both primary and secondary schools, both teaching through the medium of the Irish language, together with a shop, pub, village hall and church.

Athboy on the N51 is located 16 km west of the county town of Navan, which provides an expanded range of facilities. Offering alternative shopping and recreational facilities, the nearby heritage towns of Trim and Kells lie 11 km and 13 km distant respectively. Dublin lies just 55 km to the southeast. Conveniently, the M50 (Junction 6) and the Blanchardstown Centre, can be reached after a 38-minute drive or so primarily along the M3. Commuters can also exploit an economical route via the upgraded R154 (Dublin (Blackbull)/Athboy Road) and an untolled portion of the M3 motorway. Additionally, Bus Eireann runs an excellent commuter bus service (Route 111) to Dublin City Centre, with a stop in the town centre.

There is lots to do in or about Athboy including annual festivals namely, The Blue Jean Country Queen Festival, held over each June bank holiday weekend, and the Púca Festival, an immersive Halloween festival, with the local Hill of Ward featuring heavily as a setting. Tlachtga, now known as the Hill of Ward, is an important prehistoric site near the town having views towards the other important hills of Meath, including Tara, Loughcrew and the Hill of Lloyd, all too worthy of a visit. The nearby Girley Bog Walk is ideal for a simple trek, with or without dogs. In nearby Trim, King John`s Castle, a most majestic sight, is the largest existing Norman Castle in Europe. There one can enjoy the Slí na Sláinte walking trail which starts at the Castle on the Boyne, routes along the Porchfields passing by the monuments at Newtown, returning along the Dublin road and capturing magnificent sights and views of other landmarks along the way. In the opposite direction towards Westmeath, undiscovered by many, is Mullaghmeen Forest, Europe`s largest planted Beech forest, and then there is the picturesque village of Fore, with its magical Abbey and associated seven wonders, together with its nearby addition, Fore Distillery, which turns out rum and poitín. Other high-profile attractions include Slane Castle; Brú na Bóinne including Newgrange; Slieve Na Calliagh (Meath`s highest point at 276 meters); Bective Abbey; Battle of the Boyne visitor centre; seaside at Bettystown; horse racing at Navan and Bellewstown; golf at Headfort (including a championship course), Royal Tara and at Killeen Castle amongst other great courses; and hunting with the Meath`s together with various water and fishing-based activities on the Boyne and Blackwater Rivers. The Yellow Ford and Stonyford Rivers along with several smaller nearby lakes offer more local fishing and water-based options. The Summer mecca that is Lough Lene is not too far either and neither is the Royal Canal at the Hill of Down. Its associated Greenway spans some 130 km, starts in Maynooth and finishes up in Clondra, Co Longford, transversing both Meath and Westmeath. Another headlining local attraction is Causey Farm which offers Farmaphobia, Ireland`s biggest Halloween scare attraction; Christmas Experience; Summer Camp; Farm Experience; Ablefest and Dogitude, a festival for dogs and dog lovers!
