Gaulstown House is an exceptional five-bay Georgian country residence dating from approximately 1830, occupying a magnificent private estate of 38 acres in the heart of County Meath. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, the property combines period grandeur with a beautifully maintained rural setting.
Approached via a tree-lined laneway and two gravelled avenues, one secured by electric gates, the house enjoys complete privacy amongst mature hardwood trees, landscaped gardens, fenced paddocks and woodland. A traditional cut-stone stable yard, complete with six stables, a coach house and barn, further enhances the estate's equestrian appeal.
Extending to approximately 465 sq m (5,005 sq ft), the accommodation is arranged over two principal floors and a basement. An elegant enclosed portico opens into a magnificent entrance hall, leading to beautifully proportioned reception rooms that include a living room, drawing room and formal dining room. Many of the principal spaces enjoy dual-aspect views and retain a wealth of original features including ceiling cornicing, working shutters and attractive fireplaces.
The kitchen is fitted with painted timber cabinetry, stone worktops and an AGA, creating a warm and functional family space. A guest WC, utility room and additional storage rooms are situated within a convenient single-storey extension adjoining the main residence.
A sweeping staircase leads to four generous double bedrooms on the first floor. The principal suite benefits from a dressing room and en suite bathroom, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. On the upper level, attic accommodation includes a fifth bedroom, a recently fitted bathroom and a study/home office.
The basement level enjoys excellent natural light through windows overlooking a dry moat and offers flexible accommodation suitable for a games room, TV room, office space, gym or hobbies. An adjacent courtyard can also be accessed directly from this level.
Outside, impeccably maintained gardens surround the residence, featuring spectacular flower borders, an ornamental pond, mature planting, a tennis court and beautiful woodland walks, creating an outstanding country estate within easy reach of the capital.
