The family that moves into Killarden in Walterstown, Dunboyne, Co Meath will be able to feast on their own produce from an orchard and a large fruit and vegetable garden.

Good-lifers won’t want to take up selling agent Sherry FitzGerald Lewis Beirne’s suggestion that they could turn the orchard with plums, apples and greengages into a tennis court. The 0.9-acre grounds include a large shed, left, and a greenhouse that has a grapevine.

There’s a house of course too – the extended 223sq m (2,400sq ft) bungalow has five bedrooms, livingroom, family room and kitchen with a wood burning stove. It also has a patio where you can survey the gardens where you grow your own. |it’s 2.5 miles from Dunboyne and Leixlip.
