CO WESTMEATH: €2M:AS COUNTRY piles go, Sallymount House, Castlepollard, Co Westmeath is a fairly substantial one. A big five-bedroom Georgian house on 32 acres, it also comes with a stone-cut courtyard of eight apartments and its own equestrian facilities.

Fifteen miles from Mullingar, the house has an imposing entrance with cut-stone piers and a hedge-lined avenue that sweeps around to a forecourt at the front of the house. It is well protected from the road by a belt of mature beech trees.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom and on the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a walk-in airing cupboard.
There are eight apartments in the courtyard which comprise four two-bedroom apartments, two one beds and two studios.
The stable yard is some distance from the main house and courtyard.
The original walled garden contains a full sized outdoor arena and viewing pavilion and includes an expansive lawn, surrounded by a stone wall. There are nine paddocks on the grounds.
