Property Description

A rare gem is one word that could be used to describe this unique offering by DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents at Rusheeny, Oughterard. Enjoying a most enviable secluded site with 360 degree views of wonderful Connemara landscape, this cottage will leave a lasting impression on any viewer that comes through its gate. Located at the end of a short bog road, the property on a raised plot of land facing east with an incredible west facing rear aspect in the path of the setting sun offers tremendous opportunity for those looking for a cottage with endless possibilities. Located only a short distance to Oughterard village with its excellent amenities, this is certainly a property that offers the best of all worlds. The plot extending to 0.14 Ha (0.35 acres) is fully enclosed by a natural field wall with the garden areas laid to grass. The site is an excellent dry plot of raised land which lends itself to the creation of lovely gardens to complement the cottage and its surrounding landscape. The accommodation of the dwelling consists of a combined kitchen / dining / living area with traditional open fireplace with fireside hobs, two ground floor bedrooms, shower room and rear hall. There are two further rooms upstairs one of which is a bedroom and the second is a storage / lounge area. The property may qualify for the 'Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant' of up to €70,000, as well as for 'Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) Grants' to improve energy efficiency (subject to eligibility and conditions). Retention planning permission has been granted for the upgrading of the onsite wastewater treatment system together with all associated ancillary works. The property is for sale by Private Treaty and to avoid disappointment early viewing is strongly recommended. To book your viewing time contact DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents on 091 866708.
