About the property
Just on the market is this one off gem of a property.
Nestled in the heart of one of the most picturesque parts of Drogheda but only 5 minutes walk to the town centre.
This charming 2 bedroomed double-fronted property was built by William Cairnes, owner of Cairnes Brewery around 1890 to house his brewery workers. The current owner has beautifully and tastefully restored the interior reception room, dining room, shower room, kitchen and both bedrooms Outside, a gated walled courtyard and flagged patio seating area in the back garden provides a private haven and the lawned, gated & walled front garden looks out onto an untouched treeline and green landscape beyond. The property faces East and avails of sun all day, front in the morning and rear in the evening.
The property benefits from new double-glazed sash windows, in keeping with the age of the house and painted wooden plantation window shutters finish the look.
Along with neighbouring houses, the front porch has a Preservation Order in place and with the permission of Louth County Council, the owner had professional restoration works carried out to restore it to it’s former glory.
Both bedrooms boast original floorboards as does the central staircase of the property.
The shower room was recently upgraded with flagstone floor tiles, panelling, an electric shower and white subway tiles.
The back roof was completely removed last winter and a weather proofed pitched roof was installed with all new fascia and guttering.
Also recently installed, is a combi boiler heating system, with radiators in every room in the house and providing instant hot water. The house also benefits from burglar, smoke & carbon monoxide alarms, making it ready to rent, if so wished.
There is on road parking in front the property with only residents accessing the cul de sac road.
This is a must see, turnkey property, for anyone wishing to buy a fully modernised slice of local heritage and live in a quiet friendly community in the heart of a busy town.
