Description
Welcome to Horath Cross on which this quaint characterful property is set with the backdrop of lush green pasture lands. Interestingly, this property was once home to Horath School and Schoolmaster's House. Set in the unspoilt rolling countryside of North Meath, this unique residential property sits on a relatively compact site and essentially comprises a detached country cottage with useful adjoining out-houses. The dwelling itself requires an overhaul vis-à-vis renovation and refurbishment in order to increase the accommodation to a level of comfort generally expected nowadays. The dwelling briefly comprises two-bedrooms along with the other typical accommodation for a house of its time and style including front hall, living room, kitchen, scullery and bathroom. Adjoining the L-shaped residence, two useful adjoining out-buildings provide for a U-shape arrangement of buildings on the site.
The site is mainly delineated by hedging, shrubs and trees and otherwise a masonry wall along the roadside with independent piered and gated vehicular and pedestrian entrances. A concrete driveway provides valuable surfaced car parking. The site is otherwise generally laid under easily managed lawn.
This is an affordable residential proposition which could likely make a wonderful home for first time buyers, those seeking to escape to the country, and indeed, those seeking to downsize for whatever reason. An early viewing is recommended by selling agent, Chris Smith, of Quillsen Estate Agents
