Property Description

Leinster Property Consultants are delighted to present Woodlands, Smarmore, Ardee, Co. Louth, A92 A781 to the market, an exceptional detached family residence occupying a beautifully maintained site extending to approximately 0.54 acres in one of County Louth's most sought after rural locations.

Originally constructed in 1992 and substantially extended in 2015, this impressive family home extends to approximately 166 sq.m. and has been thoughtfully upgraded and maintained to an exceptional standard throughout. Combining spacious accommodation, excellent energy efficiency and outstanding outdoor space, this is a property that offers the perfect balance of countryside living and modern convenience.

Approached through an attractive entrance with extensive parking and mature landscaped grounds, the property immediately conveys a sense of quality and privacy. The gardens surrounding the home have been meticulously maintained and provide a wonderful setting for family life, while the elevated patio and gazebo area create an exceptional outdoor entertaining space overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Internally, the home is bright, spacious and beautifully presented throughout. The heart of the property is the magnificent open plan kitchen, dining and living area which has been designed with modern family living in mind. Featuring quality fitted cabinetry, elegant marble worktops, a central island and integrated appliances, the kitchen offers both practicality and style. Large glazed doors flood the space with natural light and provide direct access to the patio and gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The living area is warm and inviting, centred around a solid fuel stove that provides both comfort and character. A second solid fuel stove further enhances the property's appeal and contributes to its excellent energy performance. The home benefits from dual zone oil fired central heating served by an oil condensing boiler, while the impressive B2 BER rating is supported by triple glazed windows installed in 2015, cavity wall insulation, 300mm attic insulation and eight solar panels with battery storage. The property also benefits from an insulated hot water cylinder, power showers, a new shower pump installed in 2024 and approximately 670 litres of annual oil consumption, demonstrating the efficiency of the home.

The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout, with spacious bedrooms, well appointed bathrooms and excellent storage. Every room reflects the care and attention that has been invested in the property by its current owners, creating a family home ready for immediate occupation.

One of the standout features of Woodlands is the substantial detached workshop (44.2m) and garage (38.1m) extending to approximately 97.48 sq.m. This highly versatile building offers enormous potential for a wide variety of uses and benefits from two phase power, stove heating, an industrial remote controlled roller door and wiring for a backup generator. Whether utilised as a workshop, storage facility, business premises, hobby space or future project, it represents a significant asset that will appeal to a wide range of purchasers.

The outdoor space is equally impressive, with completely private, south facing extensive lawns, mature planting, Elite fencing, an outside tap and a large low maintenance patio area designed for entertaining. The attractive gazebo provides a wonderful setting for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the steel patio furniture is included within the sale, allowing purchasers to immediately enjoy this wonderful outdoor setting.

Additional features include a security alarm system, five CCTV cameras, mains water supply, septic tank, partially floored attic storage and retention planning permission for both the substantial extension and detached garage, providing additional peace of mind for prospective purchasers.

Smarmore is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential locations in the Ardee area, offering a peaceful countryside setting while remaining exceptionally convenient to a wide range of amenities. Ardee town is approximately 5 kilometres away and provides excellent schools, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, sporting facilities and everyday services. Dundalk is easily accessible while the nearby M1 motorway provides excellent connectivity to both Dublin and Belfast. Dublin Airport is approximately 55 minutes away, Dublin City Centre can be reached in approximately one hour and Belfast City Centre is accessible in approximately one hour and fifteen minutes, making this an ideal location for commuters seeking the benefits of country living without sacrificing accessibility.

Further enhancing the appeal of this impressive home are the numerous upgrades completed by the current owners, including cavity wall insulation installed in 2015, triple glazed windows, eight solar panels with battery storage, wiring for a backup generator and retention planning permission for both the extension and detached garage. The property is connected to mains water and serviced by a septic tank, while the detached workshop offers a level of flexibility and functionality rarely found in residential properties.
