Rathnally House, Rathnally, Trim, Co. Meath

Rathnally House a stately Georgian Residence on c. 26 Acres located on the scenic banks of the River Boyne in Trim.

In the early 1700\'s the Hon. Thomas Carter a prominent public figure with the prestigious appointment of Master of the Rolls acquired lands at Rathnally and in 1730 engaged architect Edward Lovett Pearce to design a suitable residence on a carefully selected elevated site on the bank of the River Boyne.

Pearce was an associate of renowned architect James Gandon and he subsequently designed a number of public buildings including the House of Parliament on College Green.

His brief for Rathnally House was to maximise the lovely river views from the site.

Uniquely Rathnally House has only once before been offered for sale.

In 1760 on the marriage of Thomas Carter\'s daughter, the property transferred to the Thompson family and continued for more than 200 years through Thompson generations until it was purchased by the present Vendors in 1977.

Rathnally House is just 300m off the main Trim/Navan Road, 3km from Trim and 9km from Navan with excellent access to M3 motorway leaving Blanchardstown accessible within 25 minutes and Dublin City & Airport within 40 minutes.
