This delightful pre-famine cottage dates back to approximately the 1830,s. At almost 200 years old, it is part of the surviving building heritage of the area, and has been owned within the same family for generations.

The property is situated in a peaceful, tranquil rural location within easy reach of Elphin and Tulsk. It is scenically located on a small country road S/W of Elphin, Co. Roscommon, and is surrounded on all sides by open countryside. Just a short distance from the birth-place of the famous Percy French, songwriter, poet, and author, it is where many of his poems and songs were often recited, and sung, by the last occupants of the cottage.

This single storey cottage retains its traditional 3-roomed layout with a pair of central chimneys, and offers an ideal project for those seeking a renovation opportunity in the countryside.

A detailed conservation advice report (available on request) has been completed together with new design plans for the cottage. This residence would qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, with the potential to secure grants of up to €70,000, subject to terms and conditions of the scheme when turning a vacant house or building into your permanent home or a rental property.
Initial draft renovation plans have been drawn up for this house - see 3D images.
