Bloomhill, Ballinahown, Offaly/Westmeath 

This charming traditional three-bed roomed cottage has bags of potential and is located right on the Offaly border with Westmeath.

Located 15 minutes from Athlone, this quirky cottage sits on an elevated site of c.0.25 acres and enjoys panoramic views of the countryside.

If traditional cottage living is what you're after, this is in turnkey condition, but with some vision, could be a stunning modern home with all the charm of years gone by.

The house offers huge potential to modernise and perhaps retrofit for those in search of a compact holding.

The property is accessed by right of way over the neighbouring house, the toilet is worked from a rainwater tank, in order to secure a constant supply of water and the new owner will need to dig a well.
