3 room cottage in sylvan setting with planning permission to extend at the rear

Situated near the charming towns of Ballinamore and village of Aughnasheelan, this rustic cottage offers a rare opportunity for those seeking tranquillity, character, and the potential to craft their ideal country residence. Set on a generous one-acre plot, the cottage provides ample space and privacy, enhanced by a mature landscape of lush greenery and a tree-lined driveway leading up to the home. With frontage to a public road, the property combines convenience with a secluded setting, as it’s positioned away from the road to ensure maximum privacy.

This property is more than a cottage; it's an opportunity for transformation. Planning approval was granted in March 2024 for a 39-square-meter extension, setting the stage for a beautiful, expanded two-bedroom residence that will make the most of the site's natural beauty and ideal orientation. For prospective buyers, the cottage's vacancy status (unoccupied for two years or more) opens eligibility for the Vacant Properties Refurbishment Grant. Qualifying applicants can receive up to €50,000 for general refurbishment and an additional €20,000 for structural repairs if necessary. These grants come on top of the energy improvement grants available through SEAI, making the cottage an excellent candidate for those looking to invest in an efficient, comfortable home. Along with the benefits of seclusion, the location offers a close-knit community and convenient access to amenities in Ballinamore and Drumshanbo. These nearby towns provide essential services, shopping, and a welcoming local atmosphere, making this property a perfect blend of countryside charm and accessible living. Whether you're seeking a serene rural escape, planning to renovate, or even considering building a bespoke home, this property has all the foundations for an inspiring rural lifestyle.
