Offers in excess of £400,000 are being sought for a large modern family home in the Co Meath village of Slane which is to be sold by private treaty through Drogheda agent Ray White.

Hermitage House is one of three handsome detached homes built about six years ago opposite the local Catholic Church. It is the most spacious of the three with a floor area of 2,235 sq. ft, excluding the double garage.

There are three open plan reception rooms, all elegant and well-proportioned, with wooden floors and an attractive marble fireplace. The sun lounge has a projecting bay with a wall of windows. There is also a separate formal dining room. The fireplaces in the living room and the dining room are piped for gas.

Hermitage House has an exceptionally fine kitchen with an excellent range of Siematic wall and floor units and a central breakfast counter with polished granite top. There is also a comfortable dining area off the kitchen. Overall, the house is in beautiful decorative condition. The main bathroom has a free-standing bath and two windows overlooking the Hill of Slane. The main bedroom also comes with an en suite bathroom. There are four bedrooms in all, but for families needing even more, the design of the attic would fit two more and an en suite bathroom.

Hermitage House is approached through electronically controlled gates. It stands on almost three-quarters of an acre of mature gardens.
