2 Bedroom Cottage of c. 37 sqm on a large site of c. 1.23 acre with development potential on the edge of Longford Town.
The cottage would have been originally built in the 1920’s. The property was upgraded in the past and has drylined walls, double glazed windows, oil fired heating and a low maintenance pebble dash exterior finish.
This property has been vacant for sometime (in excess of two years) and would qualify for the vacant property grants under the ‘Croi Conaithe’ scheme.
There is a central living room area with an open fireplace and off this is a small kitchen with some built in units. There are two small bedrooms and a small shower room.
The cottage is surrounded by mature hedges a small garden and a stone driveway. There is a small boiler house shed attached to the house.
The lands:
The house is on a site of 0.5 hectares (c. 1.23 acres) and is contained in folio LD12497. The cottage occupies a small plot in the corner of the site, the remaining site is in a paddock with a separate access from the Drumlish road. There is over 70 meters frontage onto the Drumlish road (excluding the cottage).
There previously was expired planning permission to build a bungalow on the remaining lands. While the lands are not currently zoned for development they are adjoining zoned lands and it is likely that planning for at least one house, but more likely a higher density, could be achieved.
Location:
Situated along the popular Drumlish Road, this house has the advantage of convenience to Longford Town centre, nearby shops and the N4 Dublin - Sligo Road.
The area has many surrounding amenities such as the local tennis club, Pearse Park GAA grounds, Longford Rugby Club, the Mall sports & River park, all within walking distance. A local fuel station & shop is just 500 meters away. The N4 Axis Retail park with coffee shop and major retail brands is just 10 mins walk.
