A HOLLYWOOD scriptwriter's "charming" three-bed gate lodge an hour from Dublin city has hit the market. Located in Marlay in Grangebellew, Co. Louth this property sits in a "tranquil and private" setting beside a stream.
This property is steeped in history and the preservation of some original style features give this house a unique edge. The two-story house was once part of the Rokeby Hall estate and it's believed the ground floor was built in 1780 and the second floor in 1820. Hollywood script writer Brock Norman Brock bought the property in 2011 as a writing retreat as his then wife was from the area.
He is best known for writing scripts for films such as Bronson starring Tom Hardy and The Mustang. The writer's newest project will be filmed in Ireland next year, not far from the listed property. An international cast is expected to play in the crime and horror thriller.
He has recently taken up a position as a professor of film at the University of Nevada. He has now put the property up for sale with an asking price of €350,000. The three bedroom one bathroom house sits a 50 minute drive from Dublin city.
The house is also only a 15 minute drive from Drogheda and a 28 minute drive from blue flag beaches . On the ground floor of this property sits the large sitting room. The sitting room features exposed wooden ceiling beams and a red brick surround stove.
A ladder also sits to one side of the room and leads to a large common use room upstairs. A stunning open plan kitche.
