Boherbee, Silvermines, E45 NY75

This derelict two-bedroom cottage stands on approximately 212 sq. m. (0.05 acres) and has been vacant for over 20 years. The property is unsafe to enter, with parts of the rear roof having collapsed. We estimate the residence to have a gross internal area (G.I.A) of approximately 55 sq. m. (592 sq. ft.).

The cottage is semi-detached and forms part of a small terrace originally constructed over 100 years ago to accommodate the workmen and families of the extensive Kilboy Estate. A flat-roof extension was added to the side of the dwelling over 40 years ago to provide an internal bathroom and toilet.

The property is uninhabitable but, electricity and water will be connected before the sale closes. The front garden is heavily overgrown, accessed via a pedestrian gate from the public footpath. To the rear, access and parking are shared along a common lane, with no clearly defined boundaries between neighbouring properties.

Based on our knowledge and local records, we believe the cottage has remained vacant and unoccupied since at least 2000.

This property could potentially be eligible for grants upto €70,000 with the Croi Conaithe Fund for first-timebuyers & other owner occupiers willing to refurbish derelict homes. This grant may also be combined with Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland's Better EnergyHome Scheme which potentially could offer a further €26,750 in support.

No access to the house granted to members of the public. We can faciliate access to engineer/builder with safe pass, insurance and PPE.
