Semi Detached House | Sale | BER
Egan’s are delighted to present No. 17 Valley Cottages, Patrick Street, Mullingar, to the open market for sale. This two-bedroom semi-detached property offers an excellent opportunity for a variety of purchasers, particularly those seeking a home with character and the potential to modernise and add their own personal touch. Valley Cottages date back to the early twentieth century and form part of an early local authority housing scheme developed under the Labourers’ Acts of 1883. The scheme was introduced to improve housing conditions for working families and represents an important part of Mullingar’s social and urban history.
The original cottages were modest, traditionally constructed dwellings, characterised by slate roofs, timber sash windows and rear gardens, reflecting the design and living standards of the period. No. 17 is a single-storey semi-detached dwelling with a later rear extension providing additional living space. The accommodation comprises a living room with a solid fuel stove, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a WC. The property is connected to mains water and sewerage, with heating provided by the solid fuel stove.
A particular highlight is the generous rear garden, which offers excellent outdoor space and may present potential for further development, including a small additional dwelling, subject to the necessary planning permission. Having served as a home for generations, Valley Cottages retain much of their original charm and character, continuing to contribute to the historic streetscape of Patrick Street and Mullingar’s architectural heritage. This property presents an exciting opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a home with renovation potential in an established town-centre location.
Viewing is highly recommended and strictly by appointment with Egan’s.
