Description
Some properties are all about what they are today. Others are about what they could become. One purchase. Endless possibilities. Buy the Cottage, the Land, or Both. Set within approximately 0.5 acres in the heart of Williamstown, this traditional derelict cottage offers buyers the opportunity to create something special while taking advantage of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant and Derelict Property Grant (subject to meeting the scheme criteria). The site extends to approximately 0.5 acres, as outlined on the Tailte Éireann map, giving ample room for parking, gardens, outdoor living or future landscaping while still retaining the character of the original cottage. One of the biggest advantages is what`s already available. Mains water and mains sewerage run along the public road, making future development considerably more straightforward than many rural renovation projects. There may be scope to extend the existing cottage, subject to planning permission. Buyers may also be able to avail of exempted development provisions allowing for a rear extension of up to 40 sq. m, where applicable. For those looking for even more space, there is also the option to purchase the surrounding c. 4.16 acres, creating a holding of approximately 4.66 acres in total. Whether you`re dreaming of keeping a few animals, creating paddocks, growing your own produce or simply enjoying additional privacy, the opportunity is there. The cottage has its own established entrance. If the additional lands are purchased separately, the purchaser would simply create their own entrance from the extensive road frontage (subject to any necessary consents). Williamstown itself continues to grow in popularity, with everyday amenities, schools, shops and sporting facilities all within walking distance, while larger towns including Castlerea, Glenamaddy, Ballyhaunis and Tuam are all within comfortable commuting distance. Whether you`re searching for your next renovation project, your forever home, a countryside escape or an investment with plenty of future possibilities, this is a property that`s full of potential from the very beginning.
