Description

“Stone Lodge” is conveniently located on Altamount Street, Westport, just minutes walk from the town centre, the railway station, schools, Tesco development and all day to day amenities Westport has to offer. The property comprises a two-storey residence over a basement and offers an ideal opportunity to redevelop or extend and could suit a variety of buyers, such as investors, a place to live and work from home, or a family home in the heart of Westport. The property has been used as a rental property for some time, which again offers great potential to provide a rental income as it stands or with further development (subject to planning permission). The property, which dates back to the 1840s, has had the front section of the premises restored to include sandblasting and repointing the stonework of the exterior in 1989. It was also divided to provide a three-bedroom house measuring approximately 78 sq.m (c.839 sq.ft) and a one-bedroom unit (no kitchen in place) measuring approximately c26.5 sq.m (c.285 sq.ft), with separate access available from the street and both units having their own separate heating systems. The current layout could be easily altered to suit the new owners requirements, with stud wall partitioning between the two units. As stated, the property has been used as a rental property and therefore would need some modernisation/decoration, however it could be lived in straight away. This stand-alone dwelling has a side gated access leading to the rear yard and garden, where you will uncover a fabulous, unrestored part of the building. Features including an arched entrance doorway, feature arch set into an internal wall and original timber ceiling beams make this a most attractive project and could allow the main dwelling to be extended with internal access available or alternatively the development of an apartment or two (subject to planning permission). Drawings are available showing the potential conversion to a two-bedroom apartment. Also, to the rear is a basement accessed via a ramp with original flagstone floor, and ceiling beams and connection to mains electricity is a fantastic space offering potential for a variety of uses. The property is completed by a small raised lawned garden to the rear, with a stone feature. Location: The town of Westport, has something for everyone and attracts young families, holiday makers and retirees alike with desirable schools, well connected commuter links to Castlebar, Galway and Dublin with the addition of attractive scenery. Westport offers a range of restaurants, public houses, cafes, doctors, dentists and array of convenience and retail shopping. It has become one of Ireland's established tourism centres, with many outstanding features, most notably the beautiful tree lined boulevard known as The Mall, running parallel to the Carrowbeg River.There is much to see and do in and around Westport, from the culture of Westport House & Clew Bay Heritage Centre to cliff jumping into the wild Atlantic and all things in between, such as, soaking in the atmosphere of the bars & restaurants, cycling the Great Western Greenway or tracing the footsteps of our Patron Saint to the top of the Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick. Westport House is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s best loved heritage attractions – and is rightly called the most beautiful house in Ireland. An exquisite expanse of cycling and walking routes, what could be better than taking to the open road and exploring all that the incredible Great Western Greenway has to offer? Ideally placed along the County Mayo stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way, whether hopping in the saddle or grabbing your boots, prepare for unparalleled views and inspiring landscapes. Spanning an impressive 43.5km, it follows part of the 19th-century Midlands Great Western Railway route, which was constructed in order to service what were then more rural areas, such as West Mayo. Set out on the longest off-road walking and cycling trail in Ireland and you’ll soon escape the shackles of today’s urban life. Part of the National Cycle Network, greenways are trails designed for shared use by leisure walkers and cyclists, the Great Western Greenway is traffic-free and off-road with a solid surface to travel on, so you’ll enjoy a super smooth journey whether walking or cycling. Why not take a trail?
