Some buyers prefer properties in turn-key condition, while others don’t mind the challenge of taking on a fixer-upper. If you fall into the latter category, then one of these three homes might be the one for you.

A detached three-bedroom dormer bungalow in Co. Louth, this property is bright and spacious with generous surrounding gardens. 

Extending to circa 153 sq. m, the accommodation spans two floors and also includes off-street parking. Located approximately 15km south of Dundalk and 25km north of Drogheda, the home is conveniently located with myriad amenities just a short distance away.

Lyrattin Cottage, Ballinamult, Co. Waterford, €245,000

A beautiful stone cottage conversion featuring a large rear extension, Lyrattin Cottage is situated on an acre of land situated in the scenic countryside of Ballinamult, Co. Waterford. 

The property is approached via a double-entrance private driveway. There is a large paddock to the rear with an additional plot to the side. Inside, the accommodation consists of the original cottage located to the front which comprises a living room and two bedrooms. The rear extension was built approximately 10/12 years ago and though in need of some minor cosmetic finishes and flooring, it boasts plenty of space. This portion of the property includes the master ensuite bedroom and main bathroom off the entrance hall. To the rear, there is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. French doors open to the rear garden and there is an adjoining utility room. There is also an additional attic room with an impressive solid oak floor accessed via a fold-down Stira.

Outside, a small front walled garden can be found to the front of the property while to the rear, there is extensive grounds as well as a small lawned area and tool shed to the side. 

Located just 20 minutes from Dungarvan and 15 minutes from Cappoquin, this property offers the opportunity to live in a quiet, rural setting while still being close enough to all necessary amenities. 

Currently on the market for €245,000, the property is on sale through Sherry FitzGerald Reynolds.
