A top class home on an almost three-quarter of an acre site for less than €300k? Yes: they may be rare – but this offering from the Castlepollard office of Sherry FitzGerald Davitt and Davitt proves they do exist.
Located at Rickardstown – just 5.5km from Collinstown – this is a C3-rated three-bed bungalow built around the year 2000.
The checkover with the measuring tape puts it at approximately 1,114 sq ft (134.59sqm), and while it currently has three bedrooms, the fact that there is an integrated garage gives the option of conversion to a fourth bedroom.
The house is set on an elevated site of approx 0.7 acres, and benefits from panoramic views of the local countryside.
The gardens are in lawn; there is a concrete driveway and yard and to the rear, there is a detached garage and two fuel sheds.
Inside, there is a welcoming entrance hallway, beautifully lit thanks to the glass panels beside the hardwood front door. Adding to the airy atmosphere is the newly-fitted laminated floor.
To the front of the property is found the sitting room. It has carpet flooring, coving and a solid fuel fireplace with a timber surround.
The kitchen/living room is triple aspect taking in the lovely views of the country side. There are fitted wall and floor units; tiled flooring in the kitchen and semi-solid flooring in the living area which also has a solid fuel stove.
The three bedrooms all have carpet flooring; the family bathroom contains a three-piece white suite and walk-in shower cubicle with Triton T90xr power shower.
The integrated garage is to the rear with power supply, radiator and roller door.
The area is well catered for with public and local link bus services. The local link bus passes the house and goes to Mullingar twice weekly. The school bus route for post primary schools in Mullingar is 6kms away at the junction for the Mullingar/Delvin Road, and there are, of course, primary schools in Kells and Athboy.
