Description
FOR SALE 1 & 2 Cushlaun, Ballinagare, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon Standing on a substantial site extending to approximately 2.42 acres, this unique property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire two detached dwellings together with extensive grounds in a peaceful countryside setting just outside Ballinagare Village. The sale comprises a well-maintained four-bedroom semi detached family home together with a substantial second detached dwelling constructed in approximately 2005 and awaiting completion. Combined with the generous landholding, the property presents enormous potential for owner occupiers, extended families, multi-generational living, hobby farming, equestrian use or those seeking a property with future development potential, subject to the necessary planning permission. Occupying an attractive rural setting, the property enjoys the tranquillity of country living while remaining within easy reach of Ballinagare Village and the larger centres of Castlerea, Frenchpark and Boyle. Ireland West Airport Knock is also within comfortable commuting distance, while the surrounding area offers an excellent range of schools, shops, sporting facilities and everyday amenities.

The accommodation has been well maintained and provides bright, comfortable family living with the benefit of oil-fired central heating, double glazed windows and mature gardens surrounding the property. Accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance Hall Sitting Room Kitchen/Dining Room Utility Room Bathroom Four Bedrooms The house is ready for immediate occupation and offers an ideal family home in a peaceful yet convenient location. House No. 2 – Outstanding Potential Standing adjacent to the principal residence is a second detached dwelling, constructed in approximately 2005, the property remains unfinished internally, providing the successful purchaser with a rare opportunity to complete the dwelling entirely to their own taste, layout and specification. Whether required as accommodation for extended family members, a second family home, guest accommodation or an investment opportunity (subject to any necessary consents), this second dwelling represents a significant additional asset and greatly enhances the appeal and value of the overall property. Importantly, the property has remained unoccupied since construction and may qualify for assistance under the Government's Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant Scheme, subject to the purchaser satisfying all qualifying criteria and obtaining approval from the relevant local authority. Depending upon the circumstances of an application and the condition of the property, grants of up to €50,000/€70,000 may be available under the scheme. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves regarding eligibility by making their own enquiries with Roscommon County Council and the relevant grant authority prior to entering into any commitment. For purchasers considering completing the second dwelling, this represents an exciting opportunity to potentially offset part of the refurbishment costs, subject entirely to approval under the terms of the scheme. Lands & Future Potential The property extends to approximately 2.42 acres, providing excellent privacy, generous outdoor space and exceptional flexibility for a wide range of uses. The lands offer obvious lifestyle appeal for those wishing to enjoy country living with room to expand, while also lending themselves to hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, livestock or recreational use. Furthermore, the size and configuration of the holding may present future development opportunities, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. Properties combining two detached dwellings with a landholding of this nature are seldom offered to the market, making this a particularly attractive proposition for purchasers seeking both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential.
