This inviting family home with considerable garden space in Co Meath is on the market for €280,000

Warm and bright with plenty of outdoor space, Soldiers Cottage in Co Meath would make for the perfect family home. 

Located just off the Dunderry Road, in Newtownclonbun Co. Meath, Soldiers Cottage can be found on a quiet lane of only six houses. Built in the early 1920s, the property has been lovingly extended and modernised by the same family since 1982.

The hardwood front door opens onto a bright entrance hall with laminate wood flooring. The hallway leads into the dining room, where the same wooden flooring continues. An open fire with mahogany surround and marble insert stands against one wall. Other features include a large bay window which allows plenty of natural sunlight to flood into the room by day. 

Double doors connect to the sitting room, where a second fireplace can be found – this one with a wood-burning Olymberyl multi-fuel stove. Wooden cabinets line the walls providing ample storage space. 

Further inside the house is the kitchen which has a triple A class dishwasher, a Creda built-in electric oven and a four-ring gas hob with a fan over it. Tiles line the floor and have been fitted above the countertop. 

To the rear of the property is a sunroom, with woodgrain double-glazed roof, door and window – the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee in the sun. 

One bedroom can be found on the ground floor, along with the main family bathroom which has a vanity unit and a fitted corner shower with Mira elite quality unit. Carpets have been fitted in both upstairs bedrooms, each of which has built-in wardrobes. 

Standing on a site of approximately 0.250 acres, the house, which was extended by the current owners, also has an extensive outdoor area with plenty of garden space to cultivate home-grown crops or for children to play around in. Elsewhere there is a block-built shed/boiler house and a detached galvanised workshop. Soldiers Cottage is also conveniently located within a five-minute drive of Trim town, where you’ll find myriad shops, restaurants and other facilities. 

Currently on the market for €280,000, you can take a full tour of the property, which is on sale through Sherry FitzGerald Royal, in our gallery below.
