Lot: 6, ‘Frenchlawn House' & Outbuildings on c. 44.30 Acres, Ballintober, Co. Roscommon. F45 A021 (Lots 1 & 2 combined)
Rare opportunity to acquire a country residence with significant historical interest to the late Daniel O'Connell who regularly stayed at 'Frenchlawn House', previously owned by his daughter Elizabeth (1810-1893) who married Nicholas Joseph Ffrench in 1831. This residence is in the ownership of the same family for over a century and while in need of renovation, 'Frenchlawn' holds much of its original features and is an ideal project for those interested in restoring to its former glory.

The residence comprises entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen on ground floor with first floor comprising landing, three bedrooms (one en-suite) and bathroom. (Gross Internal Area c. 1,870 sq.ft)
