Burges, Ballylooby, Cahir, E21 AY77

PF Quirke are delighted to bring a historic detached, four bed house in Ballylooby to the market. Set close to the centre of the village, the property is ideally located near the well regarded Ballylooby National School and is close to both Cahir (6km) and Clogheen (3km).
Built in 1850 and originally used as the RIC Barracks, the property was sold to a local school teacher in early 1919. This was just before the War of Independence broke out and thus the property avoided any attacks by the 3rd South Tipperary Brigade of the IRA. The property has been in use as a family home since. This offers a rare chance to own a truly unique piece of Ballylooby's history.
While the property is in need of minor refurbishment and modernisation throughout, it is presented in good condition and maintains many of its period features such as fireplaces, solid wood staircase and coving. The house benefits from bright, well proportioned rooms throughout with 2 reception rooms, kitchen, dining room and utility located on the ground floor and 4 bedrooms and family bathroom located upstairs. Externally, the property has a fully enclosed and private rear garden, a cut stone shed, galvanised storage shed and garage.
The property has been vacant for more than 2 years and may be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.
Nestled not far from the Knockmealdown mountains and a 12 minute drive to the M8 motorway, this is a wonderful opportunity to own a historically significant property which is well located close to all essential amenities and has the potential to be refurbished into a fabulous home. Early viewing is recommended!
