Seeking offers over €499,000


Redshire Cottage is a 181 sqm home that is a refuge while still easily accessible to the village, has history but is modernised, and while it is ready to move into, the current owners have shaped the house to meet their needs, there are easy changes a new owner can make to interpret the space differently.
The original part of the house appears in the first Ordinance Survey in Ireland and so predates 1829. This was most likely a one-up-one-down property in the south facing section of the property. What is on offer now is as unique as the history of this home.
The house was extended around the 1900s and then again in the late 90s. It has since had upgrades to the heating system, well water system and most recently (this year) a new septic tank system was installed.
On the ground floor is a generous kitchen/dining area with a mix of traditional and modern that really works. Off this is a cosy living room. There is a utility room and guest WC to this end of the house too. To the other side is the large living room with light coming in on every side and a large stove as its central feature.
Upstairs are four bedrooms but in its original format, 2 of the bedrooms and the storage area were a large upstairs living room. The main bathroom has bath and separate shower and the main bedroom has built in wardrobes and an en-suite.
This home will appeal to someone who is looking for something really different, with the charm and interesting features of an older home but with the benefits of something much newer.
The current owners have cultivated natural mature gardens that are in keeping with the house itself, its history and its uniqueness. Living areas having direct access to small patio areas, each with their own distinct appeal, makes this a home for all seasons.
OFCH, Septic tank (upgraded 2026), well water (upgraded recently, new filters July 2026). Council are taking the access lane in charge.
