Seven restored homes in courtyard setting
Headstown, at Castletown, Navan, is a selection of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes within an individual landscaped courtyard setting. This refurbished 18th century courtyard was built in the 1770s by Lieutenant-Colonel Gerrard and is regarded as a prime example of a Georgian cut stone courtyard. It was built to serve as staff quarters for the main house of which construction started the following year. However, Lieutenant-Colonel Gerrard then had a change of plan and built Gibbstown House. The courtyard is a unique group of houses that have now been completely refurbished. The courtyard consists of seven unique houses and is situated in the heart of County Meath"s rolling landscape. Access is by a long avenue with electric gates leading into the landscaped inner courtyard, with spacious, private gardens to the rear. The curtilage has been sympathetically landscaped in a tasteful period style that can be easily maintained. Extremely private yet ideally located just off the N52 with links to the M1 and the planned M3 interchange nearby, it is highly accessible to Dublin, Belfast and the airport. The houses have been refurbished to a very high specification with prices from €200,000. Features of Headstown are traditional hand-painted kitchens equipped with Smeg range cookers, Fischer Paykell dishwasher, Smeg fridge-freezers and integrated washing machines, complete with granite countertops, timber sash windows, bathrooms finished to a superior level of quality with Grohe taps and Gustavsberg sanitary ware. There are French doors leading onto sandstone patios and private garden, solid timber floors, architectural detail, Portuguese limestone fireplaces, underfloor heating, alarms, broadband and intercom.
