It is well-known that the west of Ireland provides the best value for money in the residential market, particularly in the countryside. Roscommon is particularly attractive to those seeking a bargain, but there is currently limited supply, although Remax Team Earley’s director, Cathal Meares, is optimistic that more properties will become available as summer approaches. Asking prices have been achieved and exceeded this year, and Meares believes the market outlook for the county is positive. Some people who were born in Roscommon are returning, as are those from the UK looking to live mortgage-free, and young buyers who seek properties they can renovate.
A four-bedroom detached house in Roosky is available for €350,000, offering 180 sq m of living space on a half-acre site. The property comprises a sitting room, a kitchen-diner, a living room, and a WC on the ground floor; four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and a bathroom are located upstairs. Although the kitchen requires updating, the rest of the rooms are in good condition.
A development of three-bedroom fully furnished end-of-terrace properties in Kilronan, Ballyfarnon, Boyle, is on the market for €235,000. The development was left unfinished by a previous developer during the boom, so this property provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a house built to a high standard.
A two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Bealnamulla, Athlone, is available for €179,000. The property is in a functional condition and has an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, an en suite double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a bathroom.
A two-bedroom duplex apartment in Roscommon town is available for €140,000. The property is in a stone building in a calm, scenic setting surrounded by trees, within walking distance of the town’s amenities and offers parking to the rear of the property.
A two-bedroom red-door cottage just 8 km from Boyle, Roscommon, is available for €120,000. The property is in a tranquil scenic setting surrounded by trees, close to a jetty and pier on Lough Gara. The traditional cottage has a lovely country cottage feel, with a solid fuel stove for heating, and stone outbuildings included in the sale.
The former post office on the main street of Elphin town is for sale, seeking €95,000, and could be converted for residential use subject to planning permission. The mid-terrace property has a good-sized back yard and is in reasonable condition, although it may require an upgrade to improve its BER rating.
In conclusion, Roscommon boasts beautiful landscapes and friendly communities, making it a prime location for anyone searching for a new home. With fantastic options like the Roosky four-bed for €350,000 and a furnished three-bed near Boyle for €235,000, there’s something for everyone.
