Clarke Auctioneers are delighted to bring to market a delightful property with enormous character and endless potential. Kilmartin is a charming semi detached cottage on a stunning site of over 0.5 acres, located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Ashford. This lovely property is situated in the sought after location of Kilmartin, near Coynes Cross, a short drive from Ashford Village and all local amenities. The original cottage comprises; Entrance Hall, Kitchen/Dining Room, Bathroom, Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2/Living Room. The property is in need of complete modernisation and renovation. Several of the neighbours have extended to the side and to the rear and there is ample space to do the same, subject to the relevant planning permission. Windows are double glazed throughout and there are three fireplaces in the property. Please note there is no central heating currently. We believe the house will soon be eligible for the Vacant Property refurbishment Grant as it has not been lived in since June 2023. This grant is for people who are refurbishing properties that have been vacant. There is a grant of up to €50,000 available if you are doing up a property that has been vacant for at least 2 years. https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/housing-grants-and-schemes/local-authority-housing-grants-and-supports/vacant-property-refurbishment-grant/ There is a gravel drive and parking area to the front & side of the house, with parking for several vehicles. The beautiful gardens were lovingly tended over many years and have a series of winding gravel paths with a variety of shrubs, flowerbeds and mature trees.

There is mains water supply and a septic tank which is located within the bounds of the property.
