Property Description

REA Seamus Carthy proudly present Eagle Lodge, Convent Road, Roscommon Town to the marketplace. Eagle Lodge is a landmark historic residence occupying a premier, highly central position on Convent Road in the heart of Roscommon Town. Originally constructed c. 1703 and once held by the Earl of Essex, this distinguished property offers an incredibly rare heritage, having been a cherished home within the same family since its purchase by Gerald O?Connor in 1926. Recognising its rich architectural contribution to the fabric of the town, the property is rightfully listed on the Record of Protected Structures (Reference: 03900645). While retaining its timeless Late Victorian character and structural elegance, the residence has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living with substantial extensions completed c. 1960 and 2005. The extensive accommodation spans approximately 250 sq. m. across two floors, beautifully balancing grand entertaining spaces with comfortable family living. A welcoming front porchway leads into a magnificent feature entrance hallway, complete with a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a striking original staircase. The ground floor layout comprises two formal reception rooms, a generous sitting/dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a dedicated utility room, and a family shower room. Upstairs, the property boasts an impressive bedroom footprint, consisting of four spacious double bedrooms (1 ensuite), two single bedrooms, and a large main family bathroom, making it exceptionally well-suited for a large or growing family. Set upon a substantial overall plot of approximately 3,500 sq. m. in a highly central town location, Eagle Lodge is being offered to the market with immense flexibility to suit both private buyers and speculative investors. The property can be purchased in its entirety as a grand, singular town-center estate with extensive private grounds. Alternatively, the property presents a further opportunity through a strategic residential subdivision. Under this option, the main house can be sold on its own private, neatly defined site, while a separate, independent parcel of land is unlocked for residential development, subject to planning permission. This dual-potential profile makes Eagle Lodge one of the most versatile and exciting real estate opportunities to arise in Roscommon Town in recent years.
