Water Street, Castlepollard, Coole, Co. Westmeath, N91NP40
James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to present this 3-bedroom home at Water Street, Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, N91 NP40
Extending to approximately 1,186 sq.ft. (110 sq.m.), this attractive three-bedroom detached residence is set on a generous c.0.5-acre site and is complemented by an impressive detached studio/unit extending to approximately 864 sq.ft. (80 sq.m.), offering exceptional versatility and endless potential.
The residence has undergone significant energy efficiency improvements in recent years, including external wrap insulation together with new energy-efficient windows and doors, resulting in an excellent BER rating. These upgrades not only enhance year-round comfort and reduce running costs but also make the property eligible for Green Mortgage interest rates, subject to lender approval.
Upon entering, a welcoming foyer leads through to a bright and inviting living room where exposed timber ceiling beams create a warm, rustic ambience. A solid fuel stove with an attractive brick feature surround serves as the focal point, providing both character and comfort. From here, the accommodation flows seamlessly into the central hallway, which also provides convenient access to the side of the property and gardens.
The first of the three bedrooms is located off the hallway, while the heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious wraparound kitchen and dining area. Finished with a range of modern fitted units offering ample storage and worktop space, this bright room enjoys an abundance of natural light and features double patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden, making it an ideal space for everyday family living and entertaining alike.
The accommodation is further enhanced by a beautifully renovated, fully tiled family bathroom complete with electric shower, wash hand basin and WC, together with an additional separate guest WC. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms complete the internal accommodation, each offering comfortable living space and plenty of natural light.

One of the property's standout features is the substantial detached studio/unit positioned adjacent to the residence. Extending to approximately 864 sq.ft.

The building presents an outstanding opportunity for a wide variety of uses, including a home office, gym, workshop, hobby space, artist's studio, wellness facility, or additional recreational space, all subject to any necessary planning requirements where applicable.
Historically, the building was utilised by the local community for social, recreational, environmental, enterprise and educational purposes, serving both the residents of Castlepollard and surrounding areas.

Occupying a spacious site with ample outdoor space, this unique property successfully combines the charm of countryside living with modern energy-efficient upgrades and the rare benefit of a substantial ancillary building. It presents an exceptional opportunity for families, remote workers, hobbyists, or anyone seeking a home with flexible accommodation and excellent potential in a peaceful yet convenient location.

Surrounded by some of Ireland's most beautiful countryside, Castlepollard is ideally located close to the magnificent Tullynally Castle & Gardens, the scenic Mullaghmeen Forest with its extensive walking trails, and the stunning lakes of Lough Derravaragh and Lough Lene, providing endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. The historic village of Fore, with its famous Seven Wonders and ancient monastery, is also just a short drive away.
The town enjoys excellent connectivity, with Mullingar approximately 20 minutes away and convenient access to the N4, making Dublin and the wider Midlands easily accessible. Combining the tranquillity of country living with an excellent range of amenities, Castlepollard is an increasingly popular location for families, commuters and those seeking a high quality of life.
