Retreat to the royal county
Wafre Lodge – an exclusive new development in the thriving town of Ashbourne, Co Meath – has everything today’s buyers are looking for
AN exclusive new development by the Mullen family in Ashbourne, Co Meath, Wafre Lodge will attract buyers looking for above-average privacy as well as easy access to all amenities. Comprising just 20 four and five-bed detached houses, Wafre Lodge had a successful launch at the start of the summer which saw 50% of its homes go sale agreed. Now the remaining 10 homes are to be released to the market in the coming weeks, with completions expected in 2018.
Conveniently located on the Dublin Road on the south side of Ashbourne, the scheme is a mere 500m from an array of retail and culinary delights in the thriving town. Approximately 22km from Dublin, this development is very well connected to the city centre, Dublin Airport and Navan via Bus Eireann, with the 103, 105 and 109A routes providing regular services. The nearest bus stops are within 400m walk of Wafre Lodge. There is also excellent road infrastructure via the M2 motorway, with fast and convenient access to Dublin airport, the M50 and in turn all national routes.
Ashbourne combines this ease of access to Dublin with a wide range of recreational facilities. The town has two education campuses, comprising five primary and two post-primary schools, all within walking distance of Wafre Lodge. Ashbourne is also fast becoming the gourmet capital of Meath, with award-winning restaurants including the Snailbox, Cinnamon Garden, Eatzen, Massimo’s, La Bucca and Fifty50.
