A “WONDERFUL” home has hit the Irish market for €149,950 – but it comes with a big catch.
Mohedian House, located in Croghan in Boyle, Co. Roscommon has three bedrooms and one bathroom.
The period home is described as “handsome and distinguished” on the listing.
It sits on a site expanding to 1.53 acres, which is complete with a stone-walled courtyard.
There are also several outbuildings that are in need of restoration, allowing the new owner to put their own spin on them.
The property was restored some years ago but has been unoccupied for some time, leading to its dilapidated appearance.
Estate agents noted that it “requires a fortunate buyer who can restore it to its former glory”.
“Given the rarity of such dwellings coming to the market, this sale presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers with vision and an appreciation for such opportunities.”
Upon entering the home, guests are met first with a porch and hallway, measuring 12.10 square metres.
It has window shutters, a ceiling rose, a radiator and wood flooring – but is in need of refurbishment.
Next is the living room, measuring 4.8m x 3.47m with Tongue and Groove flooring, a cast iron fireplace with a granite hearth, recessed book shelves, window shutters, ornate coving, and a radiator.
This room is in need of a large amount of refurbishment, with paint peeling off the walls and a significant amount of dirt, debris and damage to the floor.
The drawing room measures 4.84m x 4.06m and features a cast iron fireplace with a granite inset and hearth, period style radiators, coving & ceiling rose and brass switches and sockets.
The room benefits from a good amount of natural light from two windows, which both have shutters.
