This traditional stone cottage oozing old world charm is on the market for €130,000

This traditional stone cottage oozing old world charm is on the market for €130,000

A two-bedroom stone cottage in Co Leitrim, East Barrs is a well-preserved time capsule of olden Ireland. 

Set on approximately half an acre of land, this traditional stone cottage is a quiet, country hideaway, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by green fields and nature on all sides, the home is also privy to some of the best views around with panoramic vistas of nearby mountains visible in the distance. 

Though coming to market in turnkey condition, new owners will need to make their own renovations to modernise the home – especially considering the property currently has a G BER rating.

Inside, the accommodation comprises two bedrooms, a kitchen/sitting area and the family bathroom. A bright red half-stable door opens into the main living area. An open stone fireplace is among the standout features in this room. Wooden cabinetry has been fitted in the kitchen, which also boasts a large Belfast sink and colourful tiled splashback.

Tiles also line both the floors and walls in the bathroom.

One of the bedrooms is a double room, while the other is a single – both with windows looking out onto the surrounding countryside. The master bedroom also has a large wooden wardrobe with matching desk and TV stand. 

Safely tucked away from the public road, there is ample parking in front of the home and to the side of the property too. Manorhamilton is just a 10-minute drive away. There you’ll find all manner of amenities from shops to restaurants, pubs and schools. Glenfarne is also just five minutes away as is Glenfarne Wood and Lough Mac Nean, two wonderful walking routes in the locality. 

Water is from a private supply and there is also a private septic tank situated within the grounds. 

Currently on the market for €130,000, full details can be requested from Sean O’Boyle Auctioneers. In the meantime, take a peek inside this traditional stone cottage in our gallery below.
