Description

Nestled amidst the unspoilt beauty of the Mayo countryside, this 1950s bungalow occupies a generous site of approximately 1 acre in the highly desirable area of Killawalla, Westport. Surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, rolling landscapes and tranquil rural vistas, the property offers an idyllic rural setting while remaining within easy reach of Westport and its many amenities. Extending to approximately 796.10 sq. ft. (73.96 sq. m.), the residence is in need of complete refurbishment and modernisation throughout. While requiring extensive works, it presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking to restore and reimagine a property to their own specifications, whether as a family home, holiday retreat, or investment project. The accommodation comprises an entrance porch, sitting room with open fireplace, three bedrooms, a storage area, kitchen, rear porch, and a shower room. The existing layout provides a solid basis for redevelopment, with ample scope for reconfiguration and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents. Outside, the substantial site enjoys exceptional privacy and stunning views of the surrounding countryside, offering ample space for landscaping, gardening, or future enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Adding further character and potential to the holding are the remnants of traditional outbuildings located on both sides of the property. To the rear stands the ruin of an old cottage, presenting an intriguing opportunity for restoration or alternative use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. These additional structures enhance the appeal of the property for those seeking a project with scope to create something truly unique. The peaceful location combines the serenity of rural living with convenient access to Westport and its many amenities. The property is expected to qualify for the Derelict Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to the purchaser meeting the relevant eligibility criteria and obtaining approval under the scheme. This could provide funding of up to €70,000 towards refurbishment works, representing a significant contribution to the restoration of the property and further enhancing its appeal. Properties of this nature, set on such a generous holding and surrounded by spectacular scenery, rarely come to the market. Combining the opportunity to create a distinctive home with the potential benefit of substantial grant assistance, together with the added potential offered by the existing outbuildings and former cottage, this is a truly exceptional prospect for discerning purchasers seeking a rewarding refurbishment project in one of County Mayo's most scenic and sought-after locations.
