Nestled along a quiet laneway just off the main street in the charming coastal village of Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare, this enchanting early 1800s semi detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special home in the heart of the Burren.

Full of character and history, the property extends to approximately 54 sq.m. and comprises three rooms, including a central living space that would traditionally have served as the kitchen, dining, and living area, along with two bedrooms. With both front and rear access, the cottage retains its original simplicity and charm while presenting an exciting blank canvas for complete refurbishment and modernisation.

To the rear, the property opens onto a stunning enclosed courtyard, featuring stone boundary walls, a pebbled surface, a garden area, and a useful shed. This private, gated outdoor space offers excellent potential for creating a tranquil retreat or outdoor entertaining area.

This property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant of up to €70,000, along with additional energy upgrade grants, subject to eligibility. There may also be scope to extend the property further under the 40 sq.m. planning exemption (subject to professional advice and compliance with local regulations).

Ideally located in one of County Clare’s most picturesque villages, this unique cottage is within walking distance of Ballyvaughan’s renowned amenities, scenic coastline, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Burren. Whether as a permanent residence, holiday home, or investment project, this is a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of Ireland’s heritage.
