SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
Fantastically located is this c. 1.1 acre site with derelict cottage sited thereon being set in rolling countryside among prime residential properties and farmland. Fronting a quite road, known locally as French Lane, with primary school and pre-school facility in the vicinity, there is a lovely rural feel to this property albeit conveniently situated less than 6.5km from the heritage town of Slane and 8km from Meath`s county town of Navan. In terms of location, they probably don`t come better than this.

Given that there is a derelict residence on this site, one could potentially remodel and extend, availing of the various housing support grants available at present. Alternatively, one could seek permission for a replacement dwelling, subject to securing the necessary planning consent. Either way, this is a unique opportunity for those seeking to develop and customise their very own dream home.

Those requiring space will be well enamoured by this property, given its generous site size of c. 1.1 acres or thereabouts being essentially laid out in a single rectangular-shaped grassland block having significant road frontage. Moreover, it presents a unique opportunity for those in search of the good life being ideal for the establishment of a wholesome healthy outdoorsy operation, whatever form that may take, equestrian or otherwise. Chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, cows and donkeys could be on the cards alongside a vegetable garden and a polytunnel too, who knows?

There is arguably nowhere better than the peaceful yet convenient setting here near the much celebrated heritage village of Slane and county town of Navan.

LOCATION
This property is rurally but conveniently set just 1km up the road from Stackallen Primary School and adjoining Acorn Academy Childcare facility for pre-schoolers; some 2km from the characterful landmark licensed premises that is Ryans of Gormanlough; and approximately 1km off the R163 and 1.7km from the N51, at Wiggers Cross.

Slane, some 6.5km by road to the west, is an estate village with fine Georgian houses in a most pleasant area of the Boyne Valley. This hillside village on the left bank of the River Boyne is situated at the junction of the N2 (Dublin/Monaghan Road) and the N51 (Drogheda/Navan Road). Despite being a very ancient and historic settlement, and while retaining its distinctively unique character, Slane provides a modern range of local retail and service enterprises. Several hostelries adorn the village including the Conyngham Arms Hotel, restaurants and public houses. Primary education is provided in the village through St. Patrick`s National School. There is an array of community and recreational groups and facilities in the area. GAA, soccer, horse riding, horse racing, golf, tennis, walking, swimming and canoeing are all available locally or lie within easy driving distance. A short drive, the East Coast offers safe sandy beaches and miles of dunes to bathe and walk. As well as the 5000 year old Newgrange, Ireland`s most important archaeological site, the area is decorated by several ancient buildings and monuments to include Hill of Slane; Slane Castle with whiskey distillery adjacent; The Mill; Ledwidge Cottage Museum; Littlewood Forest; and Newgrange Farm amongst other attractions.

The towns of Navan, Drogheda and Ashbourne are convenient at 8km, 21km and 28km distant respectively. Ease of connection to Dublins M50 is assisted by the close proximity to the M3 at Navan, the M1 at Drogheda and the M2 at Ashbourne further adding to the appeal of the area from a commuters viewpoint. Maybe you should take a visit to experience all the area and greater area has to offer?
