About this property
The Groom's Cottage Brownstown Kentstown Balrath
Stone Cottage that once was the head groom's house in the old stone stable yard that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth's bloodstock manager. The Cottage has been renovated in a tasteful traditional style. In a rural location but just 35 minutes from Dublin airport. It lies in the Boyne valley midway between the megalithic monuments at Newgrange and Tara, the traditional hall of the Irish High Kings.
The space
The Duke of Wellington's grandmother was born in the main house.
There is oil fired central heating and a wood burning stove. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a cooker, dishwasher and washing machine.
Other things to note
35 minutes from Dublin airport. 6 minutes by car from Ballymagarvey village wedding venue. 10 minutes from the Millhouse wedding venue in Slane and 20 from Tankardstown or Bellinter House. 15 minutes from Tayto Park. 10 miles from Bective Abbey and 15 from Trim Castle which featured in the film "Braveheart". Not far from the "Battle of the Boyne" site and interpretative centre. The local pub, Mrs O's, features in the Christmas ad for Guinness. Popular area for country pursuits, hunting, shooting and fishing. Stabling available for visitors with horses. Surrounded by quiet roads. 35 minutes to Dublin and one hour thirty to Belfast.
