For Sale
James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to present Maryfield, Habsborough, Ballinea, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, N91 C3C7 (in one or more lots).
This impressive, detached family residence, extending to approximately 2,432 sq. ft. (226 sq. m), enjoys a superb, elevated setting with breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Approached via mature, beautifully landscaped gardens, the property is enveloped by a rich variety of flowering plants, shrubs, and established trees, including striking cherry blossoms that provide a spectacular seasonal display and enhance the home’s sense of peace tranquillity and seclusion.
Internally, the property is thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and natural light, creating a bright, airy, and welcoming atmosphere throughout. A spacious open-plan entrance hallway sets the tone on arrival, gently leading to an elegant sitting room centred around a charming antique fireplace, perfect for relaxed evenings or entertaining guests.
At the heart of the home lies an exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with bespoke country-style cabinetry and finished to a high standard. A dramatic double-height window forms a stunning focal point, flooding the space with natural light and framing the surrounding landscape. This area seamlessly connects to a cosy adjoining living room, creating an ideal layout for modern family living. A well-appointed utility room and additional storage are conveniently located just off the kitchen.
A standout feature of the property is the beautiful conservatory, accessed from the main hallway. This light-filled space acts as a year-round sunroom, offering uninterrupted views of the gardens and providing a peaceful retreat for relaxation in every season.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a private ensuite bathroom, while a second bedroom also enjoys its own ensuite. One of the bedrooms is currently configured as a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room but can easily be reinstated as a full bedroom if desired. All rooms feature ample built-in storage, and a large, well-appointed family bathroom completes the upper level.

Further enhancing the property’s versatility is a converted garage, now providing a self-contained unit extending to approximately 647 sq. ft. (60 sq. m). This space is ideal for extended family, guest accommodation, or potential rental income. In addition, a substantial two-storey domestic garage/store offers excellent storage capacity and presents clear potential for further conversion into additional living space, a home office, or studio.
The grounds extend to approximately 2.38 hectares (c. 6 acres) and are laid out in well-maintained permanent pasture. The land is elevated, naturally free-draining, and of excellent quality, making it particularly suitable for grazing, hobby farming, or equestrian use. The uninterrupted countryside views further enhance both the practicality and scenic appeal of the holding.
Combining generous accommodation, exceptional outdoor space, and remarkable flexibility, this outstanding property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle without compromising on convenience, with local amenities and transport links within easy reach.
