Glebe, Clonaslee, Co. Laois

GVM Auctioneers are delighted to present to the market this charming and quaint detached two storey house set on C.6 acres in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains. Nestled in a sylvan setting, the surrounding area is known for its peaceful and picturesque countryside.

The house is located roadside and is accessed via a concrete driveway through a walled entrance. The house was renovated in C.1924 we're informed. However, the building dates back to at least 1855 as per the inscription on the front pier's capping. A building also appears to be in its place on the 1830's map on geohive.ie.
The house is of stone and masonry construction with a pitched, slated roof.

Numerous stone outbuildings adjoin and surround the house including an old blacksmith's forge. The outbuildings to the side offer ample storage space or potential to convert to an office or for recreational or hobby purposes, subject to any necessary planning consent.

This property has great potential as we're informed the house has been vacant for over 2 years, allowing for an application for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant of up to €50,000, (subject to approval)

Accommodation within the house comprises of a sitting room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen, utility, three bedrooms, and a W/C.

Heating is by way of oil-fired central heating.

There is a large stand-alone stone building to the rear with a slate roof with an adjoining 3 span round roof shed (hay shed) to the side and a lean-to to the rear.
The stone building with loft area is approx. 24 metres in length and 5 meters wide. The building is very decorative and eye catching. Again, this rare building has excellent future potential for conversion subject to the necessary planning.

For Sale by Private Treaty.
Closing Date for offers is the 9th October 2024 @ 4pm.
