Including a traditional thatched cottage, a modern property in Co. Carlow and a beautiful stone-front home out west. 

Bumble Bee Cottage, Tankardstown, Tullow, Co. Carlow, €215,000 

Located in Tankardstown, a popular residential townland close to Tullow, this extended detached cottage is well-maintained throughout with lovely mature gardens outside. 

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, four bedrooms and a bathroom. Inside, the interiors are bright and modern with exposed brickwork helping to marry old with new.

The sale also includes a detached garage with galvanised wooden doors. Other standout features include oil-fired central heating and double glazing.

Cloonkeely, Headford, Co. Galway, €220,000 

A traditional thatched cottage in Headford, Co. Galway, this charming home dates back to the early 1800s. Set in a rural location where it enjoys plenty of peace and quiet, the property is only 8.5km, approximately a 10-minute drive from Headford town.

Accommodation consists of a spacious living room featuring a stone fireplace with solid fuel stove, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also an external utility room with a sink, washing machine, dryer and outside toilet. Extensive works were carried out on the property in 2016 when a new sewage treatment plan was also installed. 

Aughrim Kelly, Ruan, Ennis, County Clare, €425,000

Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this stone-front cottage was originally built in the 1800s. Sitting on approximately 0.34 acres of picturesque countryside, the property was meticulously restored over the years, ensuring it has all the necessary comforts for modern life. 

Inside, the kitchen serves as the heart of the home, blending rustic aesthetics with contemporary functionality. A pantry and utility room have been added for practicality while the open-plan sitting and dining room cultivate a warm, community feel. 

Upstairs, you’ll find the main bathroom along with four generously sized bedrooms.

The cottage also features outbuildings that can be repurposed to fit your specific needs – be that as an additional living space, a workshop or to provide further storage. Situated just five minutes from the Limerick to Galway motorway, the property is conveniently located offering easy access to major transportation routes. Ennis town is a 10-minute drive away, connecting you to shopping, dining, and cultural amenities.
