REA MURPHY is bringing this really interesting property to the open market for immediate sale.   Located on the edge of the Wicklow Mountains, the scenery is breathtaking, and yet one will be within 2 minutes of the N81 route to Dublin City, and only 45 minute drive from D.24.   If you are that person who wants to put your own stamp on an intriguing and charming property, make that call NOW to REA MURPHY. 

A partly refurbished Cottage with many very attractive features and some challenges.

The challenges lay with the need for a sewerage system – planning permission will be required.  The new 1st fix wiring will need to be certified, and electricity reconnected.  The unfinished refurbishment works included double glazed windows and a completely new roof structure, but did not reach to installing the central heating system.  So, the property is not immediately liveable, BUT, what you will have, is an excellent structure with interesting room sizes, eaved ceilings and a setting to die for.

The cottage is located at Coolinarrig, a rural townland steeped in the history of Baltinglass Hill and Brusselstown Hillfort – historical sites of some significance, located in West Wicklow.   One will have a small number of neighbouring properties nearby, in what is predominately a farming community.  The little used public road ensures minimal disturbance throughout your day.  The immediate surroundings are alive with vibrant flora and fauna.  Your immediate neighbours (the native birds) engage through melodic greetings, while the nearby livestock intermittently interrupt the prevail sound of silence.  A beautiful setting to be enjoyed day-in and day-out.

Baltinglass is a historic market town 25 minutes south of Blessington and within 45minute drive of Citywest Business Campus.   The town offers excellent schools (Primary and Secondary) a wide range of community services and a very strong focus on sporting clubs, community groups and outdoor pursuits.   Population of c.2,400 people.    Public Transport daily to Dublin City, Naas Town and Carlow Town (3rd level college).

The Residence is in need of the completion works to fit out Bathroom, En Suite and Kitchen in addition to the final floor screed.  The opportunity for the Buyer to dictate style and quality is very much available.  Slight changes to include Patio Doors, outside patio area, etc will allow one exploit the elevated position for maximum benefit.  An outlay of c. €100,000 after purchase may be required, but it is expected that the property will qualify for the vacant home grant (last occupied in 2009), once planning permission for the sewerage system is secured.
