DERELICT BUNGALOW ON 0.81 ACRES

Munlough, Bawnboy, Co. Cavan, H14 VY47

Smith Property are pleased to present to the market this traditional three-bedroom cottage extending to approximately 58 sq.m., occupying a substantial 0.33 hectare (0.81 acre approx.) site with a commanding roadside presence along the main N87 (Ballyconnell/Swanlinbar Road).

This property benefits from direct frontage onto the N87, providing excellent accessibility, strong visibility, and ease of connection to surrounding towns while enjoying an attractive rural backdrop.

The site offers generous space to the front and rear, providing ample scope for landscaping, extension (subject to planning permission), or the creation of a substantial private garden.

Accommodation

The existing dwelling comprises:

Sitting Room
Kitchen/Dining Area

Bathroom

Three Bedrooms

The cottage is currently in a derelict condition and requires complete refurbishment and modernisation throughout. The structure offers a blank canvas for purchasers seeking to reimagine and restore a traditional countryside home.

Exceptional Potential

This property presents multiple avenues of opportunity:

Holiday Home Potential Ideal for conversion into a charming rural retreat in a scenic and increasingly popular tourism location.

DIY / Self-Build Project A rewarding renovation project for those wishing to design and finish a home to their own specification.

Permanent Residence With a generous site and strong road frontage, there is potential to create a modern countryside dwelling (subject to necessary consents).

Investment Opportunity Strong tourism growth in the locality enhances long-term appeal.

The property may qualify for the Croí Cónaithe (Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant), subject to eligibility and approval. This scheme can provide significant financial assistance towards refurbishment works, substantially improving feasibility for prospective purchasers.

Strategic Location

Munlough enjoys a convenient position between Ballyconnell and Swanlinbar, with local amenities, schools, and services within easy reach.

Importantly, the property is located within close proximity of the renowned Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark, an internationally recognised tourism destination known for its dramatic landscapes and the popular `Stairway to Heaven` boardwalk trail. Further tourism and visitor infrastructure is anticipated in the near future, which is expected to enhance visitor numbers and overall demand within the region.

The combination of:

Main road frontage

Generous 0.33 hectare site

Grant eligibility potential

Proximity to a major tourism attraction

Strong visibility and accessibility

makes this an attractive and strategically positioned opportunity in West Cavan.

This is a rare chance to acquire a property with genuine redevelopment potential on a substantial roadside holding in an area poised for continued tourism-led growth.
