Co Meath: €1.7mA romantic Georgian farmhouse in a beautiful setting in Co Meath has views over the River Blackwater.

Meath estate agents T&J Gavigan expects to make in the region of €1.7 million at auction on October 23rd for Liscartan House.

Located off the N3 along the Kells Road, Liscartan is just five minutes away from Navan town but manages to retain a distinct air of seclusion thanks to six acres of grounds and a private tree-lined avenue.

Views from the house are down to the river and across to Rathaldron Castle. The natural cut-stone façade is just one of the many original 19th century features that remain intact. Fireplaces, fan window over the front door and internal shutters are all original.

The house, which was once the family home of Cardinal Cullen, was updated around 15 years ago and new owners are likely to put their own more modern stamp on the interior as well as installing a new kitchen and bathrooms.

Accommodation includes a drawingroom, diningroom, livingroom and kitchen. Originally there were six bedrooms but now there are three good sized double rooms (one with a walk-in wardrobe) and an office.

To the rear of the house is a courtyard accessed via a dramatic stone arch. There are also two paddock areas, 12 stables and a sand arena.
