Tullyard House & 189 acres, Trim, Co Meath

Asking price: €3.85 million

TULLYARD, a Georgian estate just outside Trim, Co Meath, has been put on the market with Sherry FitzGerald. Covering 189 acres, this historic property has an asking price of €3.85 million.

Although the land has traditionally been used for tillage, cattle, sheep and poultry farming, it would be suitable for a stud farm or other equestrian purposes.

The estate dates back to the 1600s and the house was built in 1808.

Standing on 188.7 acres of parkland, tillage and grassland, Tullyard is approached by a tree-lined and post and railed-fenced driveway that meanders through its own parkland before arriving at the house and yard.

The land is set out in one big 188-acre block of about eight fields, one of which is a whopping 70 acres in size. The property is extremely well sheltered by mature trees and natural hedging and the land is said to be of “excellent quality”. Both the house and yard are ideally placed right in the centre of the farm.

Residence

Tullyard House is an elegant Georgian three-bay two-storey house with a large three-storey wing. The primary rooms are spacious and full of light with high ceilings, yet they still retain many of the original features, such as sash windows and shutters, decorative fireplaces, polished wooden floors and a cantilever staircase.

Accommodation includes three large reception rooms, fully fitted beech kitchen with large Aga, pantry, family room, office, laundry room, six bedrooms (two ensuite) and two bathrooms.

The residence is surrounded by beautifully manicured lawns that contain a sun terrace, herbaceous borders, fruit trees and plenty of shrubs and flowers. To add to all this, the property has its own hardcore tennis court and an orchard.

Behind the house is a pristine cut-stone-cobbled courtyard that features a cottage, a coach house, stables, wine cellar, workshop and various store houses. Beyond the courtyard is the farmyard that contains a grain silo, cattle handling facilities, a concrete yard and a number of barns and lean-tos. Water is supplied from a private well and while the property is accessed from a long private entrance, there is no road frontage.
