Description
Leinster Property Consultants are delighted to present this charming traditional cottage residence at Rathbrist, Tallanstown, Dundalk, Co. Louth, A91 KR90 to the market, offering a wonderful opportunity to create a bespoke home in a peaceful yet highly accessible rural setting. Extending to approximately 126 sq.m., this property dates back to circa 1895 and has remained vacant for a number of years, making it a strong candidate for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to approval. While requiring significant upgrading, the property retains elements of its original character and offers excellent potential for transformation into a warm and inviting family home. The property is set on a site with surrounding garden areas that offer excellent scope for landscaping, outdoor living space or potential extension subject to the necessary planning permission. The grounds provide a private and tranquil setting, ideal for those seeking space and the opportunity to enhance and develop both the house and gardens over time. Rathbrist enjoys an attractive countryside setting just minutes from Tallanstown village, offering a balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Tallanstown provides a range of local amenities including a primary school, shop, church, GAA facilities and community services, while Dundalk town is within easy reach and offers a full range of retail, educational and recreational facilities. The location benefits from excellent connectivity, with Dundalk approximately 10 to 15 minutes away and convenient access to the M1 motorway, making commuting to Dublin, Belfast and surrounding areas straightforward. This is an ideal setting for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without compromising on accessibility. The accommodation extends to approximately 126 sq.m. and currently comprises an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and two ground floor bedrooms, together with two additional rooms at first floor level within the roof space. These first floor areas are currently laid out as rooms in the roof and may not comply with current planning or building regulation requirements for habitable accommodation. The property, which has been vacant for several years, requires refurbishment throughout but benefits from double glaze pvc windows, renovated bathroom, partial rewiring and heating works carried out circa 2018. There is an existing septic tank on site and the property has a BER rating of E1. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home with genuine character and create a residence tailored to individual requirements, with the added benefit of potential grant support subject to qualification. The above particulars are issued by Leinster Property Consultants on the understanding that all negotiations are conducted through them. While every care has been taken in preparing these details, they do not constitute any part of an offer or contract. All measurements are approximate and photographs are for guidance purposes only. Interested parties are advised to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the information provided and to undertake their own due diligence in respect of grants, planning and services.
