Set in the countryside of Donoughmore, Co. Cork, this traditional detached property presents an excellent renovation opportunity. Having been vacant for a number of years, the residence is in need of substantial refurbishment and offers great potential to create a wonderful family home on c.75 of an acre.
The property benefits from numerous outhouses and outbuildings, together with fields to the front and side, providing generous outdoor space and plenty of scope for storage, workshops or other uses, subject to any necessary planning permission.
Given the length of time the property has been vacant, it may be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. Due to its current condition and apparent need for significant works to make it habitable, there may also be potential to qualify for the derelict property grant top-up, subject to the relevant criteria and Local Authority approval.
Externally, the bungalow sits on a large, private site, surrounded by mature hedging and open countryside views. The extensive grounds include numerous outbuildings and a large Steeltech shed, offering excellent storage options for vehicles, tools, or equipment – ideal for a tradesperson, hobby farmer, or anyone requiring extra workspace.
