Three-bedroom cottage on approximately two-thirds of an acre with double road frontage

Furey Auctioneers are delighted to bring to the market this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage occupying a spacious corner site of approximately two-thirds of an acre at Inch Level, Speenogue, Burt, Co. Donegal.

Dating from approximately 1901, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting with attractive countryside surroundings and views towards Inch Island and Lough Swilly. Conveniently located within easy reach of Buncrana, Derry and Letterkenny, it offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a traditional cottage with generous outdoor space and considerable potential for refurbishment and improvement.

The accommodation extends to approximately 64.1 sq. metres (690 sq. ft.) and comprises a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom facilities. The property was reroofed during the 1990s and benefits from oil-fired central heating and double-glazed windows. There are also two small outbuildings to the rear, providing additional storage space.

While the cottage has been vacant for some time and requires refurbishment and modernisation throughout, it retains the character and appeal of an older rural dwelling and offers an opportunity for purchasers to create a comfortable home to their own specifications.

Site and development potential

One of the property’s most attractive features is its unusually generous corner site, extending to approximately two-thirds of an acre with double road frontage.

The substantial grounds offer excellent scope for landscaping, gardening and outdoor recreational use, together with potential for an extension to the existing dwelling or the construction of additional outbuildings, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission.

The combination of a traditional cottage, extensive grounds and road frontage provides a level of flexibility rarely available with properties in this price range.

Refurbishment opportunity and grants

Having been vacant for an extended period, the property presents an attractive opportunity for purchasers wishing to undertake a refurbishment project.

The cottage is expected to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to meeting the relevant eligibility requirements and approval by the local authority. Additional financial assistance may also be available through SEAI home energy upgrade grants for qualifying works.

These supports could make the property particularly appealing to purchasers seeking to restore and modernise an older home while improving its energy efficiency and long-term comfort.

Location

Inch Level is a quiet rural area on the Inishowen Peninsula, surrounded by open countryside and close to the scenic shores of Lough Swilly and Inch Island.

The property enjoys the benefits of countryside living while remaining conveniently positioned for access to Buncrana, Derry and Letterkenny, making it a practical option for those commuting to any of these centres.
