Ballinla

A traditional detached bungalow on approximately 0.15 hectares / 0.37 acres, enjoying an attractive rural setting close to Freemount village

Ballinla comprises a traditional detached bungalow residence occupying a clearly defined site extending to approximately 0.15 hectares, equivalent to approximately 0.37 acres.

The property is positioned just outside Freemount village, fronting the main Freemount to Charleville road. Set slightly back from the roadside, the house is approached through a pedestrian entrance gate, with an enclosed lawn to the front, bounded by walls. The overall site is well defined by a combination of mature hedging and fencing.

Believed to date from the 1960s, the residence provides compact and practical single-storey accommodation. An entrance hallway gives access to the principal rooms, including a living room with open fireplace and a kitchen/dining room, also featuring an open fire. Beyond the kitchen is a utility area.

There are two bedrooms together with a bathroom.

The property has been vacant for an extended period and now offers considerable scope for refurbishment and modernisation. While the house is not considered to be in particularly poor overall condition, works are required, including attention to sections of the roof and suspended floors, together with general upgrading and improvement throughout.

The residence benefits from oil-fired central heating and double-glazed PVC windows. Electricity remains connected to the property.

Subject to the purchaser satisfying the relevant criteria and the requirements of the applicable scheme, the property may have potential to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves independently in relation to eligibility.

A particular feature of Ballinla is its attractive rural outlook, with the property enjoying impressive views across the surrounding countryside.
