Description
A traditional cottage set within the countryside of Ballinacor, Greenane, Co. Wicklow, offering an excellent opportunity for restoration under the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. Requiring modernisation throughout, the property retains its original character and charm, with scope to create a warm and comfortable home tailored to individual taste. Having been unoccupied for an extended period, the cottage is understood to meet key criteria for the grant—typically requiring properties to have been vacant for at least two years and built prior to 2008 . This presents a unique chance for buyers to secure a rural retreat while benefiting from financial support towards refurbishment. Set on a generous site of C.0.21 hectares / circa 0.51 acre and surrounded by natural beauty, the property combines privacy with potential, making it an ideal project for those seeking to revive a traditional Wicklow home. Dating back to the 1700s, rich in history and character, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Constructed with traditional stone walls and natural materials, the property showcases timeless craftsmanship, with features such as deep-set windows, exposed beams and slate flooring. Accomdation includes • Porch: 2.125m x 2.280m • Sitting room area: 4.311m x 3.233m • Kitchen: 4.229m x 2.903m • Bedroom One: 2.318m x 3.066m • Main Bathroom: 1.808m x 2.193m First floor • Bedroom Two: 2.568m x 3.080m • Sitting Room/Lounge area: 4.932m x 4.507m • Bedroom Three: 3.275m x 4.262m An own-door annex attached to the home brings a mix of practical and lifestyle benefits, especially in rural settings like Wicklow or older stone properties where space and flexibility matter. Annex Area: 5.137m x 4.276m An additional old stone building with a galvanised sheeted roof is located on the site, it has a distinctly practical, weather-worn character.
