Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant call of a songbird, as the morning sun filters through the lush greenery surrounding your very own Irish cottage. Nestled in the serene rural setting of Ballyowen, Ballacolla, Co. Laois, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers a unique opportunity to craft a bespoke country retreat, perfectly tailored to your vision.
A Canvas for Your Dream Home
Set on a generous one-acre plot, this single-storey detached cottage is a blank canvas awaiting your creative touch. With a floor area of approximately 77 square meters, the property comprises five rooms, including two cozy bedrooms and a bathroom. While the cottage requires significant refurbishment, it presents an exciting prospect for those eager to design a personalized haven in the heart of Ireland.
Embrace the Potential
The property's eligibility for Ireland’s Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, offering up to €70,000 for qualifying buyers, makes this an even more enticing opportunity. Additionally, potential supports from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) could further enhance the property's value, subject to planning permission.
A Rural Lifestyle with Modern Conveniences
Despite its peaceful location, the cottage is conveniently positioned beside a public road, ensuring easy access to nearby amenities. The quaint village of Ballacolla, with its national school and church, is just a mile away, making it ideal for families seeking a quiet yet connected lifestyle.
