Three Cottages on Nine Acres of Land

A very beautiful location surrounded by forestry land with the nearest house almost a mile away. Nine acres of good quality land contains three traditional cottages, one full restored, one partially restored and one derelict. The most recent of the cottages – sixty years old – has been lovingly restored to provide a one bedroom residence with all modern facilities. The original stone walls, fireplace and character have been carefully preserved as have the surrounding gardens. A second cottage dating back two hundred years is currently in use as a studio and has been restored to provide one very large room with picture windows and a very modern bathroom with Jacuzzi whirlpool bath. The original stone walls are exposed inside and out and the fireplace is still in use.

The remainder of the site has been partially landscaped with several garden features under construction. A third cottage is derelict but could be used to support a planning application for a larger residence. The views all round are spectacular with The Ox Mountains, the Nephin range and Croagh Patrick all in the distance.

Peace and tranquillity with two existing residences and great potential for further expansion.

PRICE REGION: € 275,000


COTTAGE 1

 

 

The primary cottage is about sixty years old and has been lovingly restored to provide a bright modern residence that has retained all the charm of the original. The internal stone walls have been left exposed, the fireplace retained and the surrounding walls and landscaping are perfectly matched to the cottage. The picture windows in the living room and bedroom provide spectacular views across the forestry land to Croagh Patrick, the Nephin Mountain range and the Ox Mountains.

LIVING ROOM : 4.67m x 3.49m
A beautiful room with bare stone walls and a feature raised fireplace with timber mantle. The ‘roofed’ ceiling is covered with varnished tongue-and-groove pine. The floor is beech laminate and a picture picture window and door form the bulk of one wall. White PVC doors open to the front and rear.

KITCHEN/DINING ROOM : 2.90m x 2.95m
Accessed directly from the living room this occupies what would have been a bedroom in the original cottage. A good range of stained pine built-in units with integral hob and oven with space for a dishwasher. Beech laminate floor with ample room for a four-seat dining table and two windows.

BEDROOM NO. 1: 4.65m x 2.74m
A very attractively designed room with original stone walls, ‘roofed’ ceiling covered with varnished pine, recessed lighting. Picture window to rear with smaller window to the side, both enjoying excellent views. Beech laminate flooring.

SHOWER ROOM : 3.00m x 1.48m
Accessed from the kitchen and occupying the original third bedroom with tinted W.C. and wash basin, and a shower cubicle with power shower lined with varnished pine. Halogen spotlights and large press.

 


COTTAGE 2


 

This is the older of the two restored cottages, dating back about 200 years. It has been partially completed with a temporary corrugated aluminium roof, electricity, water and heating installed and the windows and doors finished.

Still to be finished are the utility room attached to the front of the house, the end of the cottage to the far side of the fireplace that could be a conservatory, sun room or extension of the stone exterior and the division of the main interior.


MAIN ROOM : 10.9m x 2.90m
The front door opens directly into this magnificent room that runs almost the length of the existing building. The internal stone walls have been left exposed throughout and the ceiling has exposed struts and supports for the corrugated aluminium. One end of the room has a very large fireplace with medieval design grate and the floor has the original stone slabs. The other half has a timber floor, is fitted with a bar and has a pine ceiling installed. Running the length of the room are a series of picture windows overlooking the land towards Croagh Patrick. This room could easily be converted into a bedroom and living room with a small kitchen.

BATHROOM: 2.56m x 2.45m
An excellent room white W.C., wash basin and Jacuzzi bath with whirlpool and underwater lighting. Tiled floor to ceiling, tiled bath surround and tiled floor. Power shower over bath, heated towel rail.

TO BE COMPLETED:
There is a partially finished utility room to the front of the cottage and the room at the far end has only the original stone walls in place. A number of designs could be used with pitched roof, flat roof or all glass, conservatory. The fireplace is intact and a door leads directly into the main room.
