• Listowel is the principal town in north Kerry, close to many beaches and a short drive to Tralee town. There is a national bus service in the town. Shopping is provided by SuperValu, Aldi and Lidl. There are several good restaurants, shops, a theatre, music venue, community centre and gym, schools and sporting facilities in the town. Listowel has heritage town designation, hosts yearly festivals such as Writers Week and a Food Fair and has also won the national Tidy Towns prize in recent years.

Horgan Properties are delighted to present this detached 4-bed 1-bath bungalow with block-built storage shed, set on a generous 1.16-acre site along a quiet local access road just north of Listowel. Nestled within a peaceful rural setting surrounded by farmland, the elevated position of this property offers excellent countryside views. It has convenient access to the N69, located less than a mile away, and the amenities of Listowel are only 2 miles away.

Constructed in 1980, the residence is a twin-block cavity-built home benefiting from mains water and a septic tank system. Extending to a spacious 111.36 sq. metres internally, the well-proportioned accommodation comprises an entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room, bathroom and four generous double bedrooms - three of which feature fitted wardrobes. There is a Stira pull-down stairs in the hallway allowing access to the extensive attic space. Oil-fired central heating, along with solid fuel stoves in both the living room and the kitchen/dining room, heat the home. The double-glazed windows and external doors to the front and rear are finished in attractive golden oak uPVC and were upgraded in recent years. This enhances both comfort and energy efficiency while contributing to the property?s D1 BER rating.

Externally, the property includes a substantial 40 sq. metre block-built shed to the rear, ideal for storage, workshop use or a variety of other purposes. To the front, a block-built boundary wall with vehicular entrance leads to a central driveway providing ample parking, with lawns on either side. The adjoining rear field is currently laid out in pasture and further benefits from its own separate vehicular access from the roadway.

While some modernisation may be required, the property offers excellent scope for further improvement and refurbishment. Having been vacant for more than two years, it may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. In addition, SEAI retrofit grants would further enhance the home?s comfort, energy efficiency and overall performance, with the potential to achieve an impressive A3 BER rating.
