PICTURES: Step inside this fairytale Irish thatched cottage going to auction for a bargain

The two-bed Irish countryside hideaway offers rustic charm, half an acre of land and a postcard-perfect setting

White-O-Morn Cottage, The Neale, Cong, Co. Mayo, F31YY30

A picture-perfect thatched cottage straight out of an Irish postcard is set to go under the hammer later this month with a bargain guide price.

White-O-Morn Cottage, located in the scenic Mayo countryside between The Neale and Cong, is a traditional two-bedroom home surrounded by rolling fields and rural tranquillity.

The quaint property sits on a 0.5-acre site and even includes an adjoining portion of ground on a neighbouring folio, offering buyers plenty of space to make their mark.

The auctioneers describe it as an ideal permanent residence or holiday home for those seeking peace, character, and a slice of old-world Ireland at an affordable price.

Although the cottage requires upgrading and modernisation throughout, it has been extended over the years to provide extra living accommodation. With its authentic thatched roof and charming exterior, the property offers the potential for a stunning restoration or peaceful country retreat.

Set for live-stream auction on Friday, October 24, the cottage lies just 3km from The Neale and around 8km from Cong, home to the world-famous Ashford Castle on the shores of Lough Corrib. It is listed on Daft.ie with an AMV of just €150,000.
