3 picturesque rural Irish homes on the market with plenty of potential
From a Co Louth home with both mountain and sea views to a stone farmhouse with views of the Sheen Valley, these homes offer beautiful surroundings and the chance to put your own stamp on them.
This traditional farmhouse is full of character, with its stone front and colourful window frames. It sits on an elevated site, overlooking the Sheen Valley, and is in a particularly peaceful location, while being just 10 minutes’ drive from the popular town of Kenmare.
Inside, its character has been preserved, with features including exposed stone walls. The rooms are well-sized, and provide scope for a new owner to add their own taste to the home. Outside, there are 1.6 acres of gardens, including several stone outbuildings. The home is on sale through DNG.
A four-bed home close to the beloved seaside village of Dunmore East, this property sits on 1.28 acres with elevant views of the sea and surrounding countryside.
The interior is in good condition, with scope for modernisation, while outside there are two stables, and a large garden that surrounds the house on both sides. The home is on sale through DNG.
This beautiful home was originally built in the 1930s, and sits on 1.87 acres of land. Its location is particularly spectacular, with views of the Cooley Mountains on one side, and sea views on the other. The house is within walking distance of the hamlet of Whitestown and its beach, and is 24 minutes’ drive from Dundalk.
Inside, there are four bedrooms, and the rooms are nicely proportioned, although some seem to be in need of work. The home is on sale through Sherry Fitzgerald.
