Description

Dating back to the early 1900’s, this fantastic cottage has been tastefully renovated to create a wonderful home. The property is accessed off the main Westport to Partry Road via a double gated entrance which leads into the rear of the property and in turn provides ample off-street parking. The cottage which extends to c. 845 sq.ft has maintained many of its original features and was carefully refurbished by the current owners, to instil the ‘cottage’ feel. The main access at the rear welcomes you into an open plan kitchen/dining/living room with high ceilings, a solid fuel stove with back boiler, a beautiful, fitted kitchen with a Corain worktop and tiled timber effect floor. This living space runs from front to rear and is filled with natural light from both aspects and creates a fantastic space to entertain guests. There are two generous bedrooms, one of which has had a recent life-sized doll house added, which creates a wonderful play area. A family bathroom with bath and separate shower completes the accommodation. The property offers great potential with ample space and grounds to extend if required, but ready for immediate occupation. A separate utility space is located adjacent to the rear access and could easily be converted. Of particular note is the detached natural stone building, with main electricity, which sits in close proximity to the main dwelling and offers a fantastic opportunity, to the discerning buyer, to incorporate and create a further c.460 sq.ft of accommodation (subject to PP). As stated the property has undergone complete renovation to include wall insulation, new wiring, new plumbing, new septic tank installed in May 2023, new tiling, floors, sanitary ware, painting and decorating and is a must see to appreciate the finish and further potential to extend. The property is located c.1.5km from the quaint village of Killawalla where there is a church, national school and playschool, Knockrooskey National School is a short drive from the property and the town of Westport just 10km distant. Location: The town of Westport, c.10km distant, has something for everyone and attracts young families, holiday makers and retirees alike with desirable schools, well connected commuter links to Castlebar, Galway and Dublin with the addition of attractive scenery. Westport offers a range of restaurants, public houses, cafes, doctors, dentists and array of convenience and retail shopping. It has become one of Ireland's established tourism centres, with many outstanding features, most notably the beautiful tree lined boulevard known as The Mall, running parallel to the Carrowbeg River. There is much to see and do in and around Westport, from the culture of Westport House & Clew Bay Heritage Centre to cliff jumping into the wild Atlantic and all things in between, such as, soaking in the atmosphere of the bars & restaurants, cycling the Great Western Greenway or tracing the footsteps of our Patron Saint to the top of the Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick. Westport House is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s best loved heritage attractions – and is rightly called the most beautiful house in Ireland.
