IF YOU’RE LOOKING to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Knockavery Lodge in Athboy, Co Meath might be worth adding to your must-see list.

A four-bed property, the original stone cottage at Knockavery Lodge was built in 1920, with two extensions expanding the space to a total of 2,098 sq ft. Sitting on 0.64 acres of tranquil grounds, Knockavery Lodge is just a five-minute drive from Athboy town. 

Despite being updated over the years, the property still boasts much of its original charm. A hardwood stable door opens to the front hall, where a stone wall and sash windows from the original cottage make a lasting first impression.
