Meelickmore, Claremorris, Co. Mayo

For those dreaming of a traditional Irish country cottage with space to stretch out and live in a tranquil setting, while still within easy driving of several nearby amenities, this Mayo property is a must-see.

Located just three miles from Claremorris town, this €59,000 cottage has oodles of character and is very attractive as you approach with its whitewashed walls and red galvanised roof. It is traditional in its layout with three separate rooms: a living room in the centre of the house with two bedrooms on either end. Currently, the smaller of the bedrooms was used as a sitting room.

There is an electricity supply connected to the house, and there is a water supply from a local scheme coming to the house which is not connected. There is no toilet or septic tank in place.

The overall site is approximately 0.5 acres and includes a stone shed which could be used as a fuel store. There is also approximately 1.5 acres to the rear of the cottage available to purchase separately for €15,000.
