Price Comparison: What can I buy in Co Meath for under €500,000?

This week, we’re in Trim, Ballivor, Donacarney and Slane.

MEATH IS OFTEN top of the list when it comes to commuter counties. But it’s not just its proximity to Dublin city that makes the county appealing. Affordability and more space are just two more reasons why many are considering houses here.

This week, we’ve found four spacious homes in the Royal County that are all under the €500,000 mark. Two detached, one semi-detached and one terrace, from Slane to Trim, here’s what’s on offer. 

Four-bed, detached, Ballivor – €489,950

This bespoke detached home has as many bathrooms as it has bedrooms, making for a spacious and functional home in the Meath countryside village of Ballivor. Spread across 200 m², it has a cosy B3 energy rating and sits on a mature garden. The property has a modern kitchen by Kube and an oil-fired four-oven AGA cooker along with wood burning stoves in the family room and living room. 

With a bright, spacious layout, including four bedrooms – three of which have en suite bathrooms – space is no issue. Hardwood floors and carpets throughout make it ideal for busy family living. More handy features include electric gates, water softener and a filtration system. The house is located near local amenities and offers great access to commuting routes for anyone who needs to travel to the capital.
