Carraward West

A charming town-centre cottage with exceptional gardens, extensive outbuildings and wonderful potential. Set in the heart of Carraward, Dromcollogher, County Limerick, this charming semi-detached cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional home with unusually generous grounds, extensive storage and a wealth of character.

Conveniently positioned close to the main street of Dromcollogher, the property enjoys a central setting, with local amenities nearby.

Originally a traditional cottage, the property has been thoughtfully extended to both the side and rear, creating a surprisingly spacious home while retaining its cottage charm and homely atmosphere.

Approached via pedestrian access to the front entrance, the property opens into a welcoming hallway which sets the tone for the remainder of the home.

The living room is a warm and inviting space, featuring fitted storage units, laminate flooring and a solid fuel stove, creating a comfortable retreat with a genuine country cottage feel.

Beyond the living room lies the practical kitchen and dining area, offering excellent functionality with extensive countertop space, and plentiful storage. This is a well-proportioned family space designed for everyday living.

At ground floor level, the accommodation further comprises a useful rear porch, two generous bedrooms and a recently renovated wet room, finished in a contemporary style while complementing the character of the property.

A unique staircase leads to the first floor accommodation, where two further bedrooms are located. The upstairs rooms retain a wonderful cottage character, featuring warm timber finishes and an inviting presentation throughout. One bedroom is accessed through the other, adding an element of traditional cottage layout.

These charming spaces offer excellent potential for guests, hobbies, home office use or additional sleeping accommodation, subject to individual requirements.

The rear of the property is a particular highlight and a truly unexpected feature for a home in such a central village location. There is a large concrete yard with extensive parking. This area is accessed via a separate driveway to the side of the house.

Extending to approximately 0.25 hectares, the gardens offer an exceptional level of privacy, space and maturity. Enclosed and beautifully established, the grounds feature an extensive variety of planting including hydrangeas, lilac, feature trees, fruit trees, apples, blackcurrants and many other established shrubs and plants.

The garden is divided into a number of distinct areas, creating a sense of discovery and offering huge potential for those with an interest in gardening or outdoor living. While some areas would benefit from care and rejuvenation, the foundations of a magnificent country garden are clearly evident.

The outdoor accommodation is equally impressive, with a substantial garage accessed via roller shutter door, a coal store and an additional garage in excellent condition.

A particularly attractive feature is the potting shed, which benefits from extensive glazing, generous countertop space and views over the patio area. This space would appeal to gardening enthusiasts, craftspeople or anyone seeking a dedicated workspace.

The outdoor patio area, although currently requiring some attention, offers an excellent entertaining space and could easily be restored to complement the surrounding gardens.

Properties combining a village-centre location, generous private grounds and extensive outbuildings are increasingly rare. This delightful cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a home full of character, with the convenience of village living and the space normally associated with a countryside residence.

With its established gardens, versatile accommodation and impressive range of outbuildings, this is a property with enormous charm and potential — one that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
