‘The Master’s House’ at Drumeel, Ballinalee, Co. Longford. Offered at bids over €149,950 Property History: This home was built as a Dower House to the Elliott family home nearby, since demolished. It was built around the turn of the 20th century on the hearth of a previous dwelling. The house is associated with local history. It is known locally as “The Master’s House” as two consecutive local school masters lived here for a period of almost 40 years. Sean Connolly, local and national hero, visited and stayed in the house before his death, being a cousin of the owner, Master Connolly, who married into the Elliot family.

The private, mature woody gardens were developed over time to include two front gardens, a beech and scot’s pine woods, a vintage apple/pear orchard, a paddock, vegetable garden and the “gairdín”. There is seasonal interest throughout the year, due to selective perennial planting. The layout of the garden lends itself to outdoor family living; this is a children’s paradise, with room-like spaces for the family to sit and read or eat, with sheltered seating areas dotted around the garden. Services: Water: The house has independent water provision and sewerage systems (registered with Local Authority). An artesian well (2005) provides water via a new pump (2011).

A septic tank is situated to the rear of the house (pre-2000), it is in good condition and has no issues. All supporting plumbing and electrics are new, to coincide with installations. Heating: The house is dual-function heated by I. The Stanley range (2002) in the kitchen, or the large solid-fuel stove in the rear sitting room (2012). Both of these systems also heat the water. Gravity flow water tank & Radiator over flow tank in attic of master bedroom An open fire in the front sitting room provides additional local heat. or II. The GRANT oil central heating boiler (>95% efficient, 2012). Controls in mirrored cupboard in back hall. All supporting plumbing is new, coinciding with installations. Both chimneys have been recently rebuilt/ refurbished (2012 - 2016), coinciding with the upgrading of the heating system. Technology: 3 TV installations, all with cost-free satellite TV. Broadband/ Wi-Fi installation. School Bus: The National School bus collects at the gate, and the house fulfils the required distance for free national school transport.
