Original Country Cottage With Full Planning Permission
Asking Price: $110,500 USD
What it is: A 200-year-old cottage on a 1.186-acre sit, built to house the herdsmen who tended to the animals for local landlords. It has three rooms upstairs and three downstairs, and comes with planning permission for a large modern extension.
The advantages: The work needed is as cosmetic as it gets in run-down rural abodes. Internally, its bone dry, and you won’t need a trip to the salvage yard as there are plenty of original features: sash windows, doors with heavy duty locks, timber ceilings and staircase, open fireplaces with cast-iron surrounds, crane and pot hooks, stone floor tiles and blue Bangor slates. A few pieces of original furniture are also included. It was deliberately built on am elevated site to give the herdsmen unobstructed views of grazing animals, and the vistas remain. The cottage also has six outbuildings, including a cart house (complete with original cart). Picture it freshened up, opened out with the new extension and restored to 21st-century condition. This cottage was built to last: give it a sympathetic new look and it will repay you with bags of Irish charm.
