A fine pair! Two Longford homes hit the market as one package


The houses are located on St Michael’s Road in Longford Town
Two houses in the centre of Longford town have come up for sale as one joint package.


Numbers 4 and 5, Ward's Terrace, on St Michael’s Road are currently on offer for €175,000.
The two adjoining mid-terrace houses, which each benefit from a large garden, were previously extended to include an additional flat.


At the rear of the house, there is an access road on the other side of which there are old sheds which also come with the property.
Both houses are in need of full renovation having both been vacant for a considerable period of time, according to the listing, they will qualify for the vacant home grants available for refurbishment work.


The selling agent - Jonathan Quinn of Sherry Fitzgerald / Quinn - also stated that the property had been placed on the derelict site list and “should qualify for the maximum grants.”


Mr Quinn’s listing continued, “The Croí Cónaithe Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant scheme aims to bring empty and derelict homes back into use provides up to €50,000 to renovate a property that has been vacant for at least two years, rising to €70,000 where the building is deemed derelict and structurally unsound.”
“The grant can be used if you intend to live in the property as your principal residence or rent it out.”
“There are also SEAI energy grants also available.”
