Nestled amidst the rolling hills of County Mayo, a short stone's throw from the bustling yet charming towns of Ballyhaunis and Knock, we unveil an inviting opportunity for visionary homeowners and savvy investors alike. Set in the picturesque locale of Larganboy, this two-bedroom bungalow, awaiting a loving renovation, stands as a testament to potential and possibility—a true canvas for creating a unique country haven.
Perched on a generous plot of nearly 0.8 acres, this property offers more than meets the eye for those with a passion for crafting their bespoke living space. Although the cottage is currently in a state that requires a comprehensive makeover, this is the perfect setup for those perhaps looking to put their architectural ambitions to the test. Imagine, if you will, the vibrant and lively homestead this fixer-upper could become once you've imbued it with your own style and flair.
The cottage's existing footprint comprises two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom—offering a skeletal structure from which you can design whatever your heart desires.
