This traditional stone cottage in Co. Roscommon is on the market for €330,000

Small but characterful, this charming three-bedroom cottage has beautiful views of the river Shannon. 

A wonderful blend of old and new, this stone cottage is traditional yet contemporary with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Located in Brackloon, Carrick on Shannon, the property enjoys a quiet, rural existence while still being within easy access to all necessary amenities. 

The original building was restored in 1993 and was built from local stone. Inside, the accommodation comprises a reception room, kitchen, utility area, wc, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

A short path leads up to the property with a partial stone wall on one side. A stone fireplace and exposed ceiling beam are amongst the most distinctive features in the sitting room. Patio doors connect this space with the patio outdoor while wooden stairs lead upstairs to the first floor. 

Further inside is the kitchen where you’ll find another feature stone wall. Cabinets have been fitted at both high and low levels for storage. A handsome wooden dining table and chairs sit in the middle of the room.

Upstairs, the large landing opens onto three bedrooms – two with built-in wardrobes – and the main family bathroom.

The property has an E2 BER rating, so upgrade work will need to be carried out.

Externally, the sale also includes a detached shed, currently being used as a boathouse.

Cootehall village is within walking distance of the property with the larger towns of both Boyle and Carrick on Shannon also within a short drive. Nearby attractions include the renowned Lough Key Forest Park

Set on circa 10 acres of forestry land, the property also has private access onto Lough Eidin and the river Shannon. 

Currently on the market for €330,000, viewing is strictly by appointment and can be organised through Gallagher Auctioneers Ltd. Take a tour of this traditional stone cottage in our gallery below.
