A cottage which is over a century old is for sale in Fahan

A charming 3-bedroom house which is over a century old has come onto the property market in Fahan. The house is on the market priced at €185,000. 

Wheelwright Cottage has been sympathetically refurbished over the course of the last 4 years. The two-storey house has retained many of its original features which include original flooring, fireplaces and thick stone walls. The house also has a stunning south facing walled garden.

The residence could prove an ideal permanent residence or a holiday home.

The house was originally a wheelwright's workshop and was converted into a cottage around one hundred years ago, the large upstairs sitting room window was once a door with a haulage pulley. The upper floors still have some of the original floor timbers and pitch marks.

To the rear of the cottage, the south facing walled garden from around the 1790s originally belonged to the next door manor farm. There is an established vegetable garden, a variety of fruit trees and bushes, a coppice of young hazelnuts and a small glade of birch trees.
