Property Description

James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to present this impressive and substantial residence to the market, extending to over 2,800 sq. ft. (262 sq. m) of accommodation over two floors and set on a magnificent site extending to approximately 1.65 acres at Moate, Ballymore, Co. Westmeath, N91 FR82.
Retaining much of its original character and charm, this property presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to renovate and transform the residence to create a truly exceptional family home. The property is approached through original wrought-iron gates and is bounded by an attractive cut-stone boundary wall. The house occupies an elevated position within the site, surrounded by mature trees and established grounds, creating a wonderful sense of privacy, tranquillity and seclusion.
The generous site provides significant space and flexibility, with excellent potential for renovation, reconfiguration and extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Internally, the property is approached through a spacious entrance foyer leading to a bright and welcoming living room, featuring an attractive open-fire surround and large picture window overlooking the gardens. The kitchen is positioned to the end of the hallway and provides access to the separate dining room. There is also a dedicated office/study, while two well-proportioned bedrooms are located on the ground floor, one of which benefits from an ensuite. A WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.
The first floor provides a further four generous bedrooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite, together with a family bathroom.
The property also benefits from a beautiful traditional walled garden and a number of original stone outbuildings. These buildings offer considerable potential and could, subject to planning permission, be converted to additional living accommodation, guest accommodation, a home office, studio or other suitable use. Alternatively, they provide excellent storage and workshop facilities.
A separate entrance provides access to the front of the outbuildings, adding further flexibility to the property and its potential uses. Of particular interest is the property's zoning designation. The lands are zoned 'Established Residential' under the Westmeath County Development Plan 2021–2027, presenting an exciting residential development opportunity, subject to the necessary planning consents. Potential may exist to sensitively incorporate the existing outbuildings into a residential scheme or explore the provision of additional residential units, including terrace-style or mews-type accommodation, subject to planning.
While the property would benefit from modernisation and cosmetic enhancement, it offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial residence with significant character, extensive private grounds, traditional outbuildings and genuine future potential.
Properties of this scale, setting and flexibility are rarely offered to the market and this property is sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers, from those seeking a substantial family home with acreage to buyers looking for a property with longer-term residential development potential.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, scale and enormous potential this unique property has to offer.
