When it comes to location, there are few addresses in Mullingar to trump Clonmore for convenience.

Close to the town itself, Clonmore is also probably the best area in town in which to live if you commute by train as it is close to the railway station.

However it also offers rapid access to the Old Rail Trail and the Canal Greenway, and also to a number of Mullingar’s larger workplaces thanks to its proximity to the business park.

What this all means for property in the area is that there is always demand – which is why investors are likely to be among those viewing this two-bedroom house at Old Clonmore Road. However, this property would be a great project for someone looking to create a family home close to the centre of town.

The house does come to the market in need of some TLC and refurbishment in order to reach its potential – and it is fair to say that it is in its potential that its value lies.

At ground floor level there is a hallway, bathroom, kitchen, sitting room and sunroom. The kitchen has a solid fuel range; the sitting room has an open fireplace with brick surround.

The bedrooms are both at first floor level, and to the rear of the property there is a large secure yard with some outbuildings.
