O’Donnellan & Joyce have been instructed to sell this imposing detached building at Ballyforan, Co. Roscommon. Built c. 1940, this two-storey property with outbuildings is a former Garda station and residence. Located in the rural village of Ballyforan, on the border between the counties of Roscommon and Galway, it is situated within easy reach of Athlone, Roscommon and Ballinasloe towns.

The former Garda station and residence is a substantial property comprising of 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, reception rooms, 4 stores, 2 outbuildings, pedestrian and vehicular access and a large rear garden all on 0.109 hectares/0.269 acres with the total floor space of building coming to 173.4 sq.m. (1,866 sq.ft.) approximately.

Local amenities include shops, Ballyforan National School, St. Joseph?s Catholic Church, a health centre, St Aidan?s GAA club and a community centre. This property is exempt from stamp duty and as the former Garda station and residence have been vacant for in excess of two years, it may qualify for the vacant property refurbishment grant. The population of Ballyforan has expanded considerably in the last decade and the former Garda station and residence could prove to be a wonderful family home located within commuting distance of a range of larger towns.
