Description
Nestled in the gentle, rolling countryside of Carrowbehy, Castlerea, Seymore Farm offers a rare opportunity to own two charming detached cottages on a generous site of approximately 1.1 acres. This property perfectly combines historic character, modern comfort, and the tranquility of rural living, making it ideal for families, investors, or anyone seeking a peaceful country retreat.
The centerpiece of the farm is a delightful three-bedroom, two-storey cottage, originally converted from an Old Granary built in 1825. A sympathetic extension was added approximately 20 to 25 years ago, transforming it into a warm and inviting home that is ready to move into today. The property is heated throughout by an oil-fired central heating system. With its combination of historic charm and modern living, this cottage is truly a turnkey home.
Adjacent to this is a one-bedroom cottage, which presents an excellent opportunity for refurbishment or personalisation. This property includes a bedroom, a bathroom, plumbing and services for a kitchen and stove with a back boiler, currently disconnected. Additionally, the site contains the shell of the original farmhouse outbuilding, offering potential for further development or restoration.
The cottages are serviced by a group water scheme and a septic tank, and the surrounding countryside provides a sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of Lough Errit has a designated swimming area, picnic benches, sauna, kayaking and forest walks. Lough O'Flynn, is renowned for excellent fishing.
