The building contains six properties – and one of them is currently up for sale.
ON THE MARKET for a sweet €139,950, this two-bed townhouse comes to the market in walk-in condition.
Located in Athboy, Co Meath, the property is part of a small development of six units in a former engine house, which dates back to the 1870s. Conveniently, all contents, with the exception of bedroom furniture, are included in the sale.
The entrance porch opens to the sitting room, while there’s a guest bathroom and under stairs storage in the hallway which is accessed from here.
The kitchen and dining room is a light-filled space and features fitted maple Shaker-style wall and floor units tiled floors. An electric hob and oven, washing machine, dryer and fridge/freezer are included.
A staircase with pine banisters leads to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. The master bedroom is located to the front of the property and features built-in wardrobes, tongue and groove flooring and an attractive arched window. The second bedroom is situated to the rear of the property and features the same, as well as a built-in dressing table and shelf.
Positioned just off Trim Road, the accommodation is just a stone’s throw from Athboy town and all of its amenities, including sports clubs, shops, bars and restaurants. There’s also three primary schools and two secondary schools within a 10-minute drive of the property.
A bus service to Dublin runs from Athboy town, making for a 90-minute journey to the heart of the capital, while the drive by car will take about an hour. Closer by, Navan town is a 20-minute drive away, and Trim is a 15-minute drive away.
