EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST ON OR BEFORE 3PM FRIDAY 12TH AUGUST 2022 This picturesque cottage is situate in Letterbrook, was residence to a former renowned artist. Located c.11.5km from Westport town and c.3.5km from Drummin. Drummin is known for its scenery and the constant rumour of gold. Tucked away on an unspoilt site, sheltered by superb mature oak trees and offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and Sheefry mountains, the cottage itself is built of solid stone masonry construction and dates back to the 1800’s. Traditional in its layout the property oozes character, the living room being the centre of the home with a small galley style kitchen off and step up to the back bedroom. A hallway off the living room provides access to the second bedroom and bathroom, while to the rear is a studio and small conservatory. Some improvement works have been carried out over the years, which include the addition of a conservatory to the rear overlooking the garden area, where vehicular access is available to the cottage from the local road. This charming, instantly appealing and unique property has the benefit of oil-fired central heating/solid fuel stove, main electricity and water from a private well on site, however the option to connect to a group supply is also available at the standard connection fee. Situate on a large site extending to c.0.35 hectares (c.0..86 acres), the property is access to the front by gated stepped laneway to the front door. Vehicular access is available to the rear and provides off street parking. To the front of the cottage there is a stone outbuilding used for storage while to the rear there is a small shed and pumphouse. A small garden with apple trees is beyond the pedestrian gate at the rear, where a path leads you to the vehicular access beyond, with exquisite undisturbed views all around. The property provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a haven for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Location: The property is c.3.5km from the scenic village of Drummin, which is situated close to Ireland’s Holy Mountain of Croagh Patrick in County Mayo. The area around Drummin was once controlled by Mayo’s Pirate Queen, Gráinne Uaile as the elevated site offered long range views of nearby Clare Island and Clew Bay. Brackloon Wood is located close to Drummin and contains some of Ireland’s finest examples of Atlantic Oakwood. There are other items of historical importance in the wooded grounds leading to nearby Westport and the Tóchar Valley Walk, which passes through Drummin and Brackloon. This ancient trail is used by pilgrims en route to Croagh Patrick and dates back to pre-Christian times where once it stretched to Tulsk in County Roscommon. Westport, which is c.11.5km distant, 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.
