Traditional Detached 3-Bedroom 1-Bath Cottage set on a 1.062 acre site close to Ballylongford

Horgan Properties are delighted to present this charming detached 3-bedroom 1-bathroom cottage, ideally situated along the R552, just a short distance from Ballylongford village. Set on a generous 1.06-acre site contained within Folio KY30518. Surrounded by mature trees, it offers exceptional privacy and enjoys a peaceful rural setting. The accommodation comprises a bright and spacious recently renovated kitchen/dining room extension, a comfortable living room with solid fuel stove, three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), and a family bathroom.

Originally constructed in the 1950s using cavity block construction, this cottage has been extended and upgraded in recent years. The external walls have been insulated, while an oil-condensing boiler provides efficient central heating throughout the home. PVC double-glazed windows further enhance comfort and energy efficiency. Combining the charm of a traditional cottage with the benefits of modern upgrades, the property offers comfortable living in a peaceful rural setting. There is also excellent potential for further refurbishment and energy upgrades with the assistance of available SEAI retrofit grants.

The property benefits from mains water and an on-site septic tank. Externally, a large gravel driveway to the front, providing easy access and plenty of parking, making it ideal for families, or those requiring space for multiple vehicles. To the rear, a concrete yard offers additional practical outdoor space. There is a large open machinery shed incorporating a secure workshop to the rear and useful loft storage overhead, and also a timber-framed drying shed/utility. The extensive site is mature with hedging and trees, along with gardens and a seating area. There is also a fish pond with goldfish and Japanese carp. The large amount of outdoor space allows plenty of scope for gardening, recreation, hobby farming, or simply enjoying country living. There is a spacious machinery shed and workshop, and a timber-framed shed, all offering excellent storage and workspace options for a number of uses.

This property is conveniently located along the R552, just 2km from the village of Ballylongford and its amenities. The heritage town of Listowel is approximately a 10-minute drive to the south, while Tarbert is located just 10 minutes to the north, providing easy access to additional services, schools, shops, and transport links. Tarbert offers ferry access across the Shannon to Clare, while the N69 provides access to Limerick. This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional country home on a generous site and would suit a variety of purchasers. Viewing is advised through sole selling agent Horgan Properties.



Travelling from Listowel on the R552 towards Ballylongford, continue for approximately 10 km. Pass the sign for Graffa/Ballyline and the property is located approximately 200 meters ahead on the right.
