Description
Stone Cottage, a two-bedroom terraced bungalow, situated in Loughrea, Co. Galway, has its origins dating back to the 1900's. With careful planning and execution and the use of modern building techniques and sustainable building materials, the cottage was completely renovated in 2013.
The dwelling had been gutted, new plumbing and heating systems were installed, new flooring, insulation, walls and partitions, chimney stack, new energy efficient windows and doors and fixtures and fittings, replaced the old. The original stone structure of the cottage was retained and expertly repointed and restored to its original glory. The result is a charming, visually pleasing, functional and sustainable home. Although a terraced home, there is vehicular access (a right of way) to the left of the adjoining house, giving access to the courtyard and garden. The generous sized garden has mature trees, to include plum and apple trees, and shrubbery which define the perimeter of the site and give complete privacy to the occupants. There is potential for further development for a studio room in the garden which could be rented under the rent a room scheme. A stone shed doubles up as a storage unit/ boiler house and recreation area. Additionally, a wooden garden tool shed with galvanised roof and overhang, sits unobtrusively in the garden.
Internally the accommodation consists of a sitting room with wood burning stove and impressive red brick chimney stack, a modern kitchen, bathroom with bath and overhead electric shower and two bedrooms, one double and one single. In addition to an oil fired central heating system, a back boiler connected to the stove, also heats the radiators and water. The property has been tastefully decorated and presents in excellent condition. Accommodation
