The House
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, in a rural setting, this homestead is ideal for children or the retired, as the surrounding area is safe, peaceful and quiet.
The bungalow is approximately 27 years old, and has three bedrooms, two double bedrooms, plus one larger bedroom with a newly built en-suite bathroom. It has a large bright sitting room with a cast iron stove, facing onto the front garden, with views of the surrounding countryside. It has all services connected.
The dining area and kitchen are integrated, and this area catches the sun from midday right through until late evening. Light, bright and airy, the living areas are spacious and well proportioned.
The windows are PVC double-glazed and the loft space is well insulated, and the entire house is warmed by an oil fired central heating system. The original roof tiles have been newly and completely replaced.
The Gardens
Both front and rear gardens are mature, containing well established fruit trees, and the home is bordered by native trees and hedges, giving it a cosy, sheltered feeling.
The property covers approx. 1.3 acres of ground, with valuable potential for further development, such as building sites etc. The well-fenced vegetable garden to the rear of the holding is ideally suited for the homeowner who likes to be self sufficient and grow fruit and vegetables. The vegetable garden grows potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, peas, beans and many other such produce. There is sufficient grazing to keep some farm animals such as sheep, goats etc.
A polythene tunnel and glasshouse provides the family with homegrown tomatoes and many other sources of food, as well as providing for the germination of seedlings and the growing-on of bedding plants for the flower garden, borders and hanging baskets.
Outhouses and Storage Areas
The property has several recently built outbuildings that are suitable for many uses, and are currently used as workshops, toolsheds and storage, and not least as commercial kennels with excellent housing for sixteen to twenty adult dogs. All outhouses and storage areas are well lit and freshly painted.
Leisure and Shopping
The property is within walking distance of fishing lakes, and is approximately ten to twelve miles from the river Shannon, depending on which part of the river you visit. There are many fishing lakes in the area, along with a choice of good golf courses.
Leisure and historic areas such as Lough Key Forest Park, Carrowkeel Megalithich Tombs and many other places of interest are within easy reach, as is the famous Strokestown House, which is a ten minute car journey away.
The property is close to the towns of Elphin, Boyle, Strokestown, not forgetting the busy and modern market town of Carrick-on-Shannon, with its large and well developed boating complex, where cruisers, both large and small, can be easily hired. The historical towns of Longford and Roscommon are approximately twenty minutes drive from the property. Athlone is 60 kilometers away, and Galway 110.
