A Detached House Requiring Significant Renovation With Acreage

Located within a highly sought after rural area on the outskirts of Rathfriland, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a detached stone built house which is currently derelict and requiring significant renovation or replacement subject to planning approval. The existing dwelling comprises one first floor room and three ground floor rooms. Should planning be granted to extend the property or replace, then there is scope to develop the property to a larger house in keeping with neighbouring properties on this road, most of which are well in excess of 2,000 sq ft. A private driveway leads to the house and the paddock land is located to the rear and sides. The closest neighbour is approx 70m away and the area is increasing in affluence as the surrounding new properties are developed. The property is approx. 2 miles from the small market town of Rathfriland, where all main facilities can be found including primary and secondary schools. The city of Newry is 7 miles away and has access to the A1 north to Belfast, just over 1 hour away and the N1 south to Dublin, which is also just over 1 hour away.
