This newly-renovated family home with lots of garden space is on the market for €312,500

Tucked away behind a border of mature hedging, this 1970s property is conveniently close to town but still has a huge garden for new homeowners to enjoy. 

A fine family home in the centre of Longford town, this 4-bedroom detached property can be found on Majors Well Road. Featuring a new extension and several modernisations thanks to recent renovations, the property has plenty of off-road parking and also includes a small garage attached to the side of the house. 

Inside, the front door opens onto a generous carpeted hallway. A lounge sitting room with open fireplace can be found to the left of the hallway, while a family room lies to the right. 

The kitchen is further inside, as is the dining room. A large room with several Velux windows, it also has double glass doors that lead out onto the south-facing rear patio. A serving hatch connects to the kitchen which has a tiled floor and several built-in wooden-front units for storage.

The kitchen is complemented by a utility room that also has built-in units and rear door access. Off the utility is a wheelchair-accessible wet room. A second cosy family living room can be found just off the kitchen with another open fireplace here too. 

Upstairs there are 3 double sized bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes. There is a smaller single sized room with huge potential for conversion into a home office or exercise room. The main family bathroom was upgraded with modern tiles and the bath was replaced with a large double sized shower unit instead. 

Outside, the house sits on 0.6 acres of land. The gardens are surrounded by large mature hedges, which provide complete privacy. There is a large garden to both the front and rear of the property with well-tended to shrubs and trees dotted along the periphery too. To the back, there is a private patio area perfect for al-fresco dinners during the long summer evenings. 

The property also includes an attached garage to the house and a small fuel store. 

Situated on the Ballinalee Road, the house is in close proximity to the town with the Mall Riverside Park & Sports complex also nearby which features a swimming pool, gym, Astroturf football pitches and beautiful looped walk alongside the River Camlin. Other amenites include St Mel’s Cathedral and several local primary and secondary schools.
