€1.8m Georgian property in Co Louth on 5,200sq/ft

Dowdstown House is a striking Georgian residence set within nine acres of mature gardens, rolling lawns and stone courtyards.

Beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated, the house offers just over 5,200 square feet of elegant, light-filled living space, along with two separate dwellings and an impressive collection of original cut-stone outbuildings.

Inside, the interiors reflect the best of Georgian architecture, with tall sash windows, detailed cornicing, original fireplaces and generous proportions throughout. The current owners have updated the property with care, adding subtle contemporary touches while preserving the building’s character.

At the heart of the home is a large, bright kitchen that opens onto a glass-fronted conservatory running the length of the south-facing side of the house. Overlooking the garden, this space catches the sun throughout the day.

There are four main reception rooms, each with its own character, along with a study or playroom, a well-equipped utility room and several practical back-of-house areas.

Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys garden views from two sides and has a modern en-suite shower room. In total, there are six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including guest rooms in the west wing and a nursery, all arranged across two floors.

The gardens are well established, with mature trees, neat lawns and planting that brings colour throughout the seasons. To the side of the house lies the main courtyard, surrounded by a range of original cut-stone outbuildings.

Once part of the working farm, they remain in very good condition and offer useful space with potential for a variety of future uses.

Two additional homes sit within the grounds, each with its own entrance and garden. The Coach House is a two-bedroom, two-storey conversion with a bright living room and generous layout. Further off lies Dowdstown Cottage, a traditional two-bedroom stone-built home on its own half-acre plot.

While Dowdstown House enjoys a peaceful and private setting, it’s well connected. Ardee is only a few minutes away, and the M1 motorway can be reached in under ten minutes.

This is a well-maintained period property on a substantial and private estate, offering a comfortable home with scope for a range of future possibilities.
