Prettily presented with freshly painted navy-blue shutters, Beech Cottage on O’Connell St in Dungarvan is charming enough to attract a young couple or a downsizer.

“It dates from the 1900s and is full of character and charm,” says Val Mangan, of Brian Gleeson Auctioneers.

The semi-detached property was renovated by previous owners, who kept original features, including ceiling beams and panelling, while fitting modern conveniences and building an extension for an en-suite bedroom.

It offers 92 sq m of living space — perhaps a little more than you might expect from its frontage. At the front is a traditional living room, which has a fireplace with a stove and a vaulted ceiling with an exposed beam. To the rear, there’s a kitchen/diner with blue and white units and, beyond it, a utility area, as well as an en-suite bedroom with a traditional-style latched door.

A staircase off the living area leads to an attic space with a shower room and a bedroom, with a sloping timber-panelled ceiling and a built-in bed.

Fitted with double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating, the cottage has an E2 BER. There is also a sheltered patio garden with raised beds at the rear.

“It’s a well-maintained owner-occupied property located within a short walk from the town centre,” says Ms Mangan, who believes it would do very nicely for a young couple.

The property previously sold for €260,000 in 2023; and, prior to that, for €74,000 in 2017.
