Sweeneys Cottage, Tavnaghbeg, Straide, Foxford, Co. Mayo - €275,000

This beautifully presented traditional stone cottage, which has been carefully and tastefully renovated and extended, has hit the market. This stunning home is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, in the townland of Tavnaghbeg, less than 8km from Foxford.

The original structure is of stone construction, built over 100 years ago. A new block extension was added to the rear in 2020 and was finished to a very high standard. The house now stretches to a gross internal area of approximately 90sqm. The house has just been painted internally. With the installation of new double glazed windows, new doors, insulation, oil central heating, a solid-fuel stove with back boiler, Easy access loft ladders, and new insulated roof, the BER was brought from a G rating to a D1 rating.

The house sits on a large holding of 10.65 acres, with all of the land contained behind the house in one, well-defined division. The land has recently been refenced to accommodate cattle, sheep and horses and all the drains have been cleared. The land is of mixed-quality and there is currently horses and sheep grazing it. There has been no pesticides or synthetic fertilisers added to the land in the last 30 years.
