Description

Set on a substantial site of c. 1.69 acres, this traditional 3-bedroom cottage comes to the market with huge potential for anyone looking for a restoration project in a quiet rural setting. Properties like this are becoming harder to find, a cottage with its own private driveway, generous grounds, existing services connected and useful outbuildings already in place. While the house is in derelict condition and requires full refurbishment, the basics are here for somebody with vision to create a superb countryside home. The accommodation currently comprises a front porch, reception hallway, kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms and a main bathroom. One of the standout features of this property is the size of the site itself. Extending to approximately 1.69 acres, the grounds offer excellent space and privacy with plenty of room for extensions, gardens, hobby farming or outdoor living areas, subject to the necessary permissions. The mature surrounding trees add to the sheltered and private feel of the property. Adding further value is the 2-bay open shed, ideal for storage, workshop use, machinery, livestock or future conversion possibilities. The property also benefits from an existing septic tank together with water and electricity connections already in place, which can make refurbishment works more straightforward. The property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant and Derelict Property Grant, along with SEAI energy upgrade grants, all subject to eligibility and approval. This could represent a significant opportunity for buyers looking to restore a traditional home with financial assistance available. Despite its peaceful setting, the location is very convenient. Kilkerrin, Glenamaddy, Mountbellew and Ballymoe are all within easy reach, while Tuam, Roscommon Town and Galway City are accessible for commuting. This is an ideal spot for anyone seeking country living without being isolated. Whether you are looking for a full renovation project, a country retreat, or a property with space and future potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a cottage on a site of this scale in a strong location.
