Cottage of c. 40 sqm on a site of c. 0.56 acres with full planning permission to extend to a larger 3 bedroom home, taking advantage of vacant home grants.

There is currently a living area with a solid fuel stove and there is currently an oil fired central heating system. The house has been vacant for some time and is in need of complete refurbishment and extension.

Planning permission was granted under ref: PL 2388 to re-construct and extend the dwelling house by c. 80 sqm to upgrade existing septic tank with a new sewerage system and a treatment plant and to provide new entrance to the side road. The cottage is stone built and the owners were going to expose this to add some additional character.

The new ‘Croi Conaithe’ Vacant Property refurbishment grants offers funding to help you renovate vacant and derelict properties. You can get up to a maximum of €70,000 if the property is derelict. The current owners have completed the grant application process for this property which has been approved.


Outside:
The cottage is on a corner site of 0.56 acres. The house currently fronts onto the Longford - Ballinalee Road. As part of the planning permission granted there is to be a new entrance onto the side road that runs along the site. The house when extended was going reorientated to front out onto this laneway and the south westly aspect of the site.


Location:
The house is ideally located between Ballinalee Village c. 3 km, and 8 km north east of Longford Town. It is a popular residential area with Ennybegs school and Killoe’s GAA grounds both just 2 km away.
