4 of a kind: Fixer-uppers with plenty of potential
From a farmhouse on 124 acres in Kerry to a neat cottage in Clare.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING for a challenge and aren’t afraid of some manual labour, one of these four fixer-uppers could be for you.
This week we’re looking at homes around the country that have great potential, but are realistically in need of complete renovation. From a farmhouse on 124 acres to a neat cottage in Clare, take a look at our fixer-upper finds…
Sneem, Co Kerry – €300,000
Located on 124 acres, this one-bed farmhouse is not for the faint-hearted. Dating back to the 1800s, the property was renovated and extended in 2008, and is now in need of repair. The lands extend up to the summit of Knocknafreaghane Mountain, and include outbuildings and a large pond.
Bohyodaun, Co Clare – AMV €65,000
A one-bed, one-bath property, this quaint cottage could be the ideal countryside escape. Standing on four acres, the house is in fair condition throughout. The accommodation comprises a sitting room with a fireplace, a kitchen, one bedroom and a small bathroom. Ennis is a 35-minute drive away.
Ballyorril, Co Wexford – €149,000
Measuring 570 sq ft, this two storey detached cottage requires extensive renovation, but could become a comfortable family home or holiday residence. It is located on a site of 0.6 acres, which includes mature trees, woodland areas and original stone wall borders. Enniscorthy town is a convenient five-minute drive away.
Ballintotis, Co Cork – €179,500
Situated on 0.6 acres, this three-bed cottage is ready to be completely refurbished. The current accommodation comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room and three bedrooms. There’s a small garden to the front, while the site features a selection of mature trees. A primary school is located within walking distance, while Midleton is a 10-minute drive away.
