Four-bed cottage on sale for €195k & it’s mins from airport with hidden perk

A “CHARMING” cottage has just hit the Irish market for €195,000 – and it’s just minutes from a busy local airport.

The traditional detached ‘nurse’ cottage is situated in the picturesque, rural town of Aughaward in Co Mayo by the River Moy.

The quaint property comes “completely” renovated and in-turn key condition.

The home has a large garden by the rear of the property as well as an orchard to the side which gives the owner “stunning” views of Nephin Mountain and the surrounding area.

And the perks get even better for the future homeowners – as there is a historic stone building beside the cottage.

The recently re-roofed ‘old’ cottage would have been the original home for the property’s owners.

Windows and doors and extensive drainage works have also been carried around so that whoever moves in next can transform the space into whatever they need.

Sherry FitzGerald wrote on Daft.ie: “There is also a stone building adjacent to the cottage, which was the original homestead and would have been vacated sometime in the 1930s when they built the “new” house.

“This old cottage has been cleared out and reroofed. There are new windows and a door and extensive drainage works have been carried out around the cottage.

“This old cottage could be transformed into additional guest accommodation, a studio, or office space.”

The home is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom property – but it boasts a study which can be used as a fourth bedroom.

You enter the pad through a quaint hallway which leads off on either side to the two large bedrooms in the home.

The door in front of the entrance leads to a large, spacious and homely sitting room – which leads off to the study and bedroom on either side.

The living room has tiled flooring and timber panelled walls – with a solid fuel stove and traditional fireplace with a hearth – and plenty of natural light from the front and rear-facing windows.

The study is a bright room with tiled flooring and timber panelled walls with sliding doors which lead to beautiful views of Nephin Mountain.

The spacious and rustic kitchen boasts all the modcons – with a utility room that leads into the property’s contemporary bathroom.

The bathroom is fully tiled and has a double walk-in shower.

There is space on the property for off-street parking for multiple vehicles by the breathtaking gardens.

The cottage is just 8km from Foxford and 11km from Swinford – with West Airport Knock just a 30-minute drive away.

RUSTIC REALNESS

This comes as another quaint cottage has hit the market for €240,000 – and it’s fully renovated.

The detached house with “amazing” views is situated in Glenaskeagh, Ninemilehouse, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary.

This “beautifully” renovated traditional Irish cottage has modern comforts while retaining its rustic charm.

It’s ideal for a family or first time buyers.

The home, measuring 98 m², consists of three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living space and open-plan kitchen-dining area.

The agent said: “This cottage is a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern convenience, making it an ideal home for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty.

“Whether you are looking for a permanent residence or a peaceful weekend retreat, this property is a rare find.”

REGENCY REGALITY

And a massive mansion with major Brigerton vibes landed on the market in Cork.

The Ballinacurra House Estate in Kinsale, Co Cork, is on the market for €4 million.

The 23-acre property features a 15 bedroom house with a floor space of roughly 1,156 m².

The area also has two stone guesthouses, woodland walks, large gardens and a stream running through the property.

The venue has been used as a boutique wedding venue and could easily be turned into a B&B or hotel.

It’s also an ideal place for a large family, with each bedroom having its own international theme.

The stunning property was built in 1770 and was later passed to group of nuns in 1970 before being passed to the current sellers.

It has been extensively renovated so has all the charm of an old building with the facilities of a modern one.
