Property Description

A charming property, a much-loved family home and a wonderfully convenient village setting

Cox & Walsh Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market this charming three-bedroom bungalow, superbly positioned on Main Street in the heart of Rooskey, Co Roscommon.

A much-loved family home, the property has been carefully maintained and beautifully presented over the years and is offered to the market in turnkey condition. Combining comfortable living accommodation with substantial gardens, excellent private parking and the considerable added potential of the adjoining former post office premises, this is a property with far more to offer than first meets the eye.

A fine example of a traditional 1970s-style bungalow, the house retains a warm and welcoming character throughout, with well-proportioned rooms and tasteful decoration reflecting the care that has gone into the home over many years.

Accommodation

The entrance hall provides access to three beautifully presented bedrooms, comprising two generous double bedrooms and one single bedroom, together with the main family bathroom, which includes a bath.

The living accommodation includes a gorgeous dining room, providing an inviting setting for family meals and entertaining, together with a comfortable kitchen-cum-living area and a small conservatory area which provides an additional space to sit and enjoy the garden outlook.

A solid-fuel stove provides a cosy focal point within the sitting room and is complemented by a back boiler, while the property benefits from central heating throughout.

The overall impression is of a home which has been genuinely cared for: comfortable, welcoming and ready for its new owners to move into and enjoy.

Gardens and grounds

Outside, the property continues to impress.

A substantial private driveway to the front provides comfortable off-street parking for approximately five vehicles. At its centre is an attractive landscaped water feature, creating an appealing and distinctive approach to the residence.

To the rear lies an exceptionally generous garden, arranged over upper and lower areas and offering considerable space for gardening, recreation, outdoor dining or family use.

The scale of the grounds is particularly noteworthy given the property’s central village location, offering the space normally associated with a more rural home without sacrificing the convenience of having Rooskey’s amenities on the doorstep.

Former post office and additional potential

A particularly interesting feature of the property is the former post office premises, which provide a substantial amount of additional accommodation separate from the principal living areas of the home.

The former commercial accommodation comprises a large front room leading through to a substantial rear area, with a further large adjoining room and a smaller storage room beyond.

This space presents considerable possibilities for a prospective purchaser. Subject to the necessary permissions and statutory requirements, it could lend itself to renewed commercial use, a substantial home office or studio, incorporation into the existing residence, or conversion to additional independent accommodation such as a granny flat.

The size of the rear garden may also allow a purchaser to investigate further possibilities, including the potential siting of a modular home within the lower garden area, subject in all cases to the relevant planning regulations, exemptions and qualifying criteria.

An excellent Rooskey location

The location is one of the great strengths of this property.

Situated on Main Street, the house is within easy walking distance of many of Rooskey’s principal amenities, with the local church, nursing home, national school and Shannon harbour all immediately convenient to the property.

Rooskey itself is a thriving Shannon-side village with a strong local community and an excellent range of everyday amenities, including its community centre, school, church, shops, petrol station and other local services. Its position on the River Shannon, together with the village harbour, gives Rooskey an attractive waterside character while retaining the practicality of a well-connected village.

The village is located just off the N4 Dublin–Sligo road, providing convenient access towards Carrick-on-Shannon and Longford, as well as the wider national road network.

For rail commuters, Dromod Railway Station is approximately five minutes by car and lies on the Dublin–Sligo InterCity line, providing regular connections towards both Dublin and Sligo.

For anyone seeking the convenience of village living, a generous family home and genuine scope for the future, this is an unusual and particularly appealing opportunity.

Above all, however, this is a much-loved family home. It is a charming property that has been cared for and enjoyed over many years and is now ready for a new owner to make it their own.

Viewing is highly recommended and is strictly by appointment with the sole selling agents, Cox & Walsh Estate Agents.
