Historic hunting lodge is a dream abode in Meath – if you have €1.45m to hand

Kingston Lodge, Hayes, Navan, Co Meath €1.45m

Kingston Lodge was built in the early 1800s and retains many original features; the home has been tastefully decorated

You know you’re deep in horse country when the vendor of a property tells you their avenue is, “the length of two to three dressage arenas”.

But then the property in question is Kingston Lodge, former hunting lodge of the Earl of Mayo, and set in the heart of county Meath, where excavations at Newgrange show that horses have been used and valued here since the early Bronze Age.

And the vendor in question is Anne McFarland, vice chair of Dressage Ireland which sent Judy Reynolds to this year’s Olympics in Rio. Judy reached the finals, the first time an Irish dressage rider did so in 50 years.

“Meath land is good,” says Anne of the 18 acres or so that come with her property, “in fact, it’s too good. I get sheep and cows in every summer to graze the grass. Horses are originally desert animals so the grass can be too rich for them. They get too fat and heavy. My three-year-old dressage horse has grown to 18 hands, which is huge for a horse.”

The quality of grassland is important to Anne, who breeds, breaks and rides horses. No doubt it was a factor in deciding to buy Kingston Lodge back in 2002 when she, her husband Anthony and their children were returning home after 12 years in Russia.

“We drew a triangle near Dublin. I was still working in Russia, Denmark and Italy,” says Anne who works in finance, “so being close to the airport was crucial, my parents lived near here and there were good schools. While both Belfast and Dublin Airport are only 40 minutes away.”

Kingston Lodge fell just outside that triange. Built between 1805 and 1825, it is an impressive two-storey house with twin double-fronted bay ends. Since it was originally intended as a hunting lodge, it has no servants’ quarters and very large reception rooms running along the entire front of the house which, surprisingly, is only one room deep.

The double-height hallway has limestone flagstones and an elegant cantilevered staircase running up to the first floor. Painted a bright canary yellow, it showcases a memento of the family’s days in Russia – a large oil painting of the ‘Storming of the Winter Palace’, which is on offer with the house.

Off the hallway runs a long back hall that links all the reception rooms including the drawing room and dining room in both of the four-windowed bays, a study with a wonderful hunting-themed Cedric Aldin frieze and a large comfortable family sitting room. Many of the original period features remain and the dining and drawing rooms both have high ceilings, wooden floors and fine marble fireplaces.

There is also a games room and a large bright kitchen with dining area. Behind this is a generous utility room, a boot room – a necessity where there is a courtyard full of stables and a tack room – and two WCs.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, all generously proportioned, and four bathrooms. For such a grand-looking house, it is remarkably compact.

“It is north-facing, but has lots of windows and so is bright. Out of my bedroom window, I can see across three fields and check all my horses and admire my buzzards sitting on the tree opposite, and from my bathroom at the back of the house I can check my dog is ok.”

The hill behind the house commands views of Loughcrew, the Wicklow Mountains and the Hill of Tara. This latter is significant to Anne as her father is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard there. True to family tradition, he was involved in the horse business, raising Irish and English Oaks winner, Blue Wind. His headstone reads ‘Gone Racing’.

Across the courtyard from the rear of the house, the former coach house has been renovated by the McFarlands into a two-bedroom apartment, currently vacant, but with a potential rent of €850 per month. There is also the option of purchasing the property with a total of 48 acres for €1.95m.

For the McFarlands, now that their three children are grown, it’s time to move on. “We’re not rushing anywhere though,” says Anne, “we have another house just outside Derry where my daughter is running Dunmore Gardens as a wedding venue.” The couple will lend an occasional hand. Naturally, the horses will come too.

For the prospective buyer of a family home, Kingston Lodge is ideal. There are a number of private schools within 45 minutes’ drive, including Headfort Prep School, Clongowes Wood College and King’s Hospital.

Sports fans can tap into Navan Rugby Club and Seneschalstown GAA, Knockharley Cricket Club or the two tennis clubs nearby. Navan is a bustling market town with good shopping and restaurants and there are some fine old-fashioned pubs including the famous Mrs O’s on the Hill of Skryne.

Boltown Hall, County Meath

https://meathhistoryhub.ie/houses-a-d/

Boltown Hall is located at Crossakiel, Kells. The house is two storey over basement with square entrance porch. There are three reception rooms, kitchen, six bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside there are two yards; the original old yard with loose boxes, one of which stabled Manifesto and a newer yard. 

The house was erected about 1875 for Joseph Hoan Dyas. There were two existing buildings on the site which remained in use after the new house was constructed. The house was inherited by Henry Dyas, son of Henry Dyas of Castlepole, Kells.  In 1911 Henry Mortimer Dyas and his family were living at Boltown Hall. He died in 1915. He was owner of Manifesto. Manifesto is regarded as the greatest Grand National Horse of all time having won the Grand National twice and was third 3 times between 1897 and 1903. Harry’s widow was killed in an air raid in England in October 1940. 

The next owner was Mr. Gallagher and then Mr. Farrell. Various families lived in it over the twentieth century.

By Katie McGuinness Mon 7 May 2018

On a bright spring day with the cattle finally – finally! – out in the fields, the rhododendrons in bloom, and Gerry the robot mowing the front lawn, Co Meath is looking its best and nowhere is it more lush than at Boltown Hall, a fine 19th Century country house with 430 sqm of living space on 102 acres located close to the historic town of Kells.

The current owners, Justin Owens and Jackie Cawley and their young family, are moving to Kildare to be closer to their own parents, but one has the sense that if they could simply transplant what they have at Boltown Hall, they would do so in a heartbeat.

“Sometimes we look at each other and say, ‘What is there left to be done? We’ve done it all!'” says Jackie.

Justin, who is the founder of Commtech, which sold to American firm Arrow last year in a deal reported to be worth in the region of €25m, bought the listed property at auction in 2005 for €2.8m. That figure was a considerable increase on the price paid for it in March 1945 when it sold with 185 acres of land for just £4,000.

The couple have since undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment of the house, including rewiring and replumbing and the installation of a new zoned central heating system.

Unlike many period properties in the country, the house feels first and foremost like a warm and comfortable family home, rather than a museum, and is light and bright throughout, thanks to a number of dual aspect rooms and a large skylight on the first floor.

“We use every bit of it,” says Jackie. “There are no ‘good’ rooms other than perhaps the formal dining room, but even that gets plenty of use when we have friends over, as well as at Christmas and Easter. The whole house is designed for convenience.”

The front porch opens on to a high-ceilinged entrance hall. The drawing room to the left has a bay window to the front and a fine fireplace with marble surround, while the dining room to the rear also has a bay window and marble fireplace. To the other side of the entrance hall is a family room.

“This is where we curl up on winter evenings and light the fire,” says Jackie.

The country-style kitchen lies to the back of the house and, as well as the obligatory cream Aga, has a solid wood island. It’s clear that this room is the focus for family life.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a humdinger of a utility room, which also incorporates a boot room, essential in a country home. There are Wellington boots of all sizes, with spares for visitors. Tucked away above is a study, or what Jackie refers to as Justin’s ‘man-cave’, and in the basement there’s another cave – this one for wine. Upstairs, there are six large double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Boltown Hall dates from around 1860, when it was built by Joseph Hone Dyas. It later passed to his son, Harry Dyas, a colourful character with a propensity for the classic vices of gambling, women and drink, who was once described in court as “a man of lax morality”.

Harry Dyas may have been a reprobate, but he was responsible for producing Boltown Hall’s most famous resident, the double Grand National winner, Manifesto, which won at Aintree in 1897 and 1899.

Boltown Hall is still very much geared to equestrian activity, with excellent modern loose boxes, a smart tack room and all ancillary features, including a floodlit sand arena, cross-country course and a horse-walker. Justin hunts with the Taras, and Jackie says that they are happy to give permission for the Meath Hunt to come through their land during the hunting season. For younger riders, there is an active local pony club scene, particularly in the summer months.

In the stable courtyard, which, like all the farm and other outbuildings, is in excellent condition, there is a smart, modern one-bedroom apartment that is currently used by a nanny but could work equally well for other staff.

Boltown Hall is well located in the centre of its land, which ensures privacy, with access points all around the circumference and two main entrances – front and back, both with electric gates – one for the house and one for agricultural use.

Currently, Justin and Jackie keep horses and donkeys, and lease out grazing land to a local farmer, but it will be open to the new owners to consider farming themselves; the land is considered suitable for tillage as well as pasture.

An orchard produces apples, plums and pears, which means plenty of opportunities for crumble.

For families with young children, there is a national school close by in Kilskyre. The commute to the centre of Dublin takes just over an hour.

Thomastown House, Duleek, County Meath 

https://www.businesspost.ie/property/to-the-manor-born-in-beautiful-co-meath-period-home-for-e2-8m/

by Tina-Marie O’Neill June 4, 2022

Thomastown House in Duleek offers a generous 462 square metres of well-presented accommodation and comes with a separate three-bedroom cottage of 109 square metres

The allure of the country manor can never be underestimated, particularly in the aftermath of a series of pandemic-related lockdowns, which highlighted an emphasis on generous living space and easy access to the great outdoors.

Covid-19 has also done away with the need of would-be ruralists to have proximity to large urban areas, as hybrid workplace trends and the potential to work from home have become the norm, meaning the only requirement of a period pile is high speed broadband.

Of the sprinkling of manor houses currently for sale along Ireland’s eastern seaboard, Thomastown House in Duleek, Co Meath is arguably one of the finest and is on the market with Coonan Auctioneers seeking €2.8 million.

While ticking the privacy box – Thomastown House enjoys plenty of its own outdoor space on 65 acres of good quality land – it is also within a 45-minute drive of Dublin city and airport.

The house is in good condition, has a D2 BER and has been tastefully renovated to a high standard while maintaining all of its original features and charm.

According to agent Will Coonan, the property was owned by the Kettlewell family in the 1700s. A reference to Samuel Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland tells of one Evans Kettlewell of Thomastown being a subscriber in 1843. On his death in 1851, the control of the property passed to his cousin Echlin Molyneaux, a Queen’s Counsel and later the County Judge of Meath.

Some 18 years later, in 1869, Molyneaux leased the property to James Everitt, a Justice of the Peace, who had also leased land from the Duke of Bedford nearby.

In 1923, John Lenehan took possession and farmed extensively and successfully. The present owners purchased a somewhat tired Thomastown House and lands in 1996 and immediately undertook an extensive restoration.

Today, the accommodation with the main house includes a drawing room, a formal dining room, a study, a large kitchen/breakfast room, five generous bedrooms, a boot room and an office with access to the gardens.

There are original features such as marble fireplaces, cornicing and a centre rose and yet Thomastown House also subtly includes the modern; a zoned heating system heats the home.

The anticipation builds from the start as a set of electric wrought-iron gates open to a 450 metre long hedge and tree-lined avenue which eventually reveals the grand, creeper-clad residence, which rests centrally within the private estate.

A generous semi-circular gravel driveway gives way to a set of granite steps leading up to the south-facing period property. Its charming period front door with fanlight opens onto a hallway that is exquisitely presented with seven inch solid French pine floors, period cornicing, picture rails, dado rails and a feature archway.

On point with the architectural and design layout of its time, there are two grand reception rooms on either side of the entrance hall, both dual aspect and overlooking the front and sides of the property through shuttered sash windows.

The drawing room to the right interconnects with the adjacent dining room through double doors and both these rooms and the sitting room to the left of the hall have the same solid French pine floors, high corniced ceilings, centre roses, picture rails and handsome marble fireplaces befitting the period rooms. A modern touch in both the sitting room and drawing room fireplaces is that they house more efficient wood-burning stoves.

At the rear of the main reception hall is an inner hallway with a feature pitched glass roof which floods light into the back hallway.

This space gives access to the working area of the main house, including the kitchen, utility room, study, boot room and has access to the basement level.

The traditional country-style kitchen/breakfast room, adjacent to the front sitting room, has been fitted with a good range of solid oak cabinets with dark granite worktops, terracotta-style floor tiles, two Aga ovens, a central island with a double sink and a range of appliances including an electric oven and microwave.

The rear of the kitchen leads to a tiled boot room with side garden access, a guest WC off it with tiled floors, and a rear, generous utility room with tiled floors, plumbing for a washing machine and clothes-drying facilities.

On the other side of the rear hall is a large study, which has tiled floors, a feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove, double height ceilings and french doors opening to a patio area and the rear garden.

The handy basement level is broken down into four separate storage areas with painted floors and it houses the fuse board and electrical/alarm services.

Upstairs on the hall return are two generous double bedrooms with solid timber floors. The first boasts a cast-iron fireplace, the second has two built-in storage areas. A bathroom at this level also has solid timber floors, partial wainscoting, a white suite, including a bath with a separate shower, and a cast-iron fireplace.

There are a further three large double bedrooms at first floor level, including the principal bedroom en suite. Timber floors feature throughout and the rear bedroom has a cast-iron fireplace. The other two overlook the front gardens, the main bedroom boasting built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a full bathroom suite, including a bath and separate shower.

The main bathroom on the first floor return has timber floors, partial wainscoting and a full bath suite, including a bath, bidet and separate shower.

The 109 square metre cottage has an open-plan, fully fitted kitchen with a Rayburn cooker and dual burner, a wood-burning stove in the living area, a plumbed utility room and three first floor bedrooms, including one en suite, along with a bathroom. It has access to mains water, a septic tank and oil-fired central heating.

Outside, within the meticulously kept landscaped gardens there is a courtyard which incorporates a tool shed, six loose boxes and a tack room – perfect for buyers keen on equestrian pursuits.

There’s also a machinery shed extending to almost 80 square metres, a cattle yard made up of two three-bay hay sheds, two four-bay hay sheds, a silage pit and a cattle crush.

Viewing is by prior appointment with agent Will Coonan at 01-6286128.
