Looking to buy a home in Monaghan? With its beautiful scenery, historical landmarks and welcoming community, Monaghan is an attractive location for those looking to settle down. Fortunately, there are a variety of property options available at varying prices, making it accessible to a wide range of buyers. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at two homes currently on the market, a four-bed for €330,000 and a three-bed for €220,000, to give you an idea of what’s available in the area.
Monaghan is a desirable location for those seeking convenient access to both Belfast and Dublin, with the county town located just an hour from the former and 90 minutes from the latter. The area is also known for offering good value for money and is increasingly seen as a part of the wider commuter belt for both cities. Conor McManus, director of Sherry FitzGerald Conor McManus, has noted that Monaghan’s residential market has been busy this year, with most offerings selling well. However, as with much of the country, low stock is an issue, with new developments being deterred by rising building costs. There is a mix of buyers in the market, including first-time buyers and downsizers seeking bungalows in towns.
One property on the market is a four-bedroom house in Drumberagh, Laragh, Carrickmacross, which is in turnkey condition with modern wooden floors, wood-effect tile flooring, and a neutral wall palette. This property has two reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen-diner with living area, a utility room, and a guest loo on the ground floor. The four bedrooms are upstairs, with the main bedroom featuring an en suite. The property sits on a landscaped 0.75 acre site, surrounded by unobscured countryside views, and is in walking distance of Lisdoonan National School and a local shop. It is seeking €330,000 through Toal Auctioneers.
Another property on the market is an end-of-terrace townhouse in Carrickmacross, which may suit a buyer looking to be close to the town’s amenities. This two-bedroom property measures 60sq m and is in good condition, although it could benefit from a cosmetic refresh. The downstairs area comprises an open-plan living area and kitchen, as well as a guest loo, while upstairs there is a family bathroom and two bedrooms. It has a D1 BER rating and is in a development off the Mullinary Road. It is on the market through REA Gunne Property, seeking €175,000.
Investors may be interested in a one-bed apartment in the same development in the centre of Carrickmacross. Measuring 37sq m, this first-floor apartment is in good condition with a C3 BER rating, an open-plan kitchen and living area, a double bedroom, and a shower room with an enclosed patio garden. The property also overlooks a green area from the front windows and has parking for residents. It is seeking €135,000 through O’Hanlon Property.
A three-bed terrace near the picturesque village of Glaslough is also on the market, offering lovely lake views from the back of the property. In turnkey condition, the property consists of a small, bright living room and kitchen-diner with modern wooden units, as well as a guest loo on the ground floor. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. It has an 80sq m area, a good B3 BER, and is seeking €195,000 through Sherry FitzGerald Conor McManus.
Finally, a three-bed former farmhouse at Killygoan, Monaghan, is on the market for €150,000 through Sherry FitzGerald Conor McManus. In need of modernisation, the property currently consists of two good-sized living rooms, a long, narrow kitchen, a downstairs bathroom, and three double bedrooms upstairs. It also benefits from a big back lawned garden offering plenty of potential.
