Property Description

The Old Mill Property, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo
The Old Mill Property is a unique and attractive property situated just a short walk from the village of Ballycastle in North Mayo. Set on an impressive c. 2.8-acre site, the property offers a rare combination of a comfortable family home, extensive grounds and significant potential for further development, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The original house was built circa 1935 and was subsequently extended in the 1990s. The property is in good condition and has benefited from considerable upgrading and modernisation works over the past 10–12 years.

Improvements include rewiring and replumbing, a new oil-fired heating system, and the installation of a new solid-fuel stove with back boiler. The original section of the house has also been insulated and wrapped, improving its energy efficiency and comfort.

The accommodation currently comprises an entrance porch, living room, sitting room, kitchen/dining area, utility room, three bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, main bathroom and guest WC. The sitting room was originally the fourth bedroom and could potentially be reinstated, subject to the buyer's requirements.

Outside, the property benefits from a large shed together with the remains of the historic Old Mill and associated outbuildings. These substantial structures provide an exciting opportunity for the new owner. With extensive renovation and subject to planning permission and any other required consents, they may have potential for use as a workshop, studio, ancillary accommodation or other suitable purposes.

The extensive grounds provide excellent space and privacy and would appeal to a wide variety of purchasers, including those seeking a family home, hobby farm, smallholding, workshop space or a property with scope for future development.

The roof of the house requires some attention and repair, but overall the property has been well maintained and substantially upgraded in recent years.

The wider area offers an exceptional range of outdoor and recreational opportunities, including coastal walks, beaches, fishing, surfing and access to some of North Mayo's most scenic countryside.

A Property Full of Potential

While requiring some further work, particularly to the roof, the property has already benefited from significant investment and upgrading. The combination of the existing house, extensive site and historic Old Mill buildings gives this property considerable scope for those looking for something beyond an ordinary residential property.
