17 Valley Cottages, Patrick Street, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, N91P2K6

Egans are delighted to present 17 Valley Cottages to the open market for sale. This two-bedroom semi-detached property offers a fantastic opportunity for a wide range of buyers, and while it would benefit from modernisation, it holds excellent potential to be transformed into a charming home. Valley Cottages, located on Patrick Street in Mullingar, were constructed around the turn of the twentieth century as part of an early local authority housing scheme developed under the Labourers’ Acts (1883). The development was designed to improve living conditions for working families and represents an important chapter in the social and urban development of the town. The original scheme comprises modest single-storey dwellings, some with attic accommodation, traditionally built with slate roofs, timber sash windows, and rear gardens-reflecting the housing standards of the period focused on healthy living environments. In line with the requirements of the Labourers’ Acts, many of the original homes were set on generous rectangular plots of approximately half an acre. No. 17 Valley Cottages is a single-storey semi-detached dwelling with a later rear extension that provides additional living space. The internal accommodation includes a living room with a solid fuel stove, two bedrooms, kitchen, and WC. The property is connected to mains water and mains sewerage and is heated by a solid fuel stove. A notable feature of the property is the generous rear garden, which may also offer potential for a small additional dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permission. The cottages have been in continuous residential use for over a century and retain much of their original charm and character. Valley Cottages continue to contribute positively to the historic streetscape of Patrick Street and form an important part of Mullingar’s architectural and social heritage. Viewing is highly recommended with Egans.
