A substantial four-bedroom Victorian residence, offered at a guide price of €180,000, has come on the market in Roscommon Town.
Dating back approximately 150 years, Number 12 Goff Street, Roscommon, presents a rare opportunity for builders, investors, and those seeking a rewarding restoration project in the heart of Roscommon Town.
The property is ideally positioned to benefit from significant public realm enhancement works currently underway. “These improvements are set to further enhance the streetscape and overall appeal of the area, adding long-term value to this central and increasingly attractive location,” said auctioneers Sherry FitzGerald P. Burke.
The property requires refurbishment, but it retains many fine original features.
While the property requires refurbishment, it retains many fine original features, including traditional timber sash windows to the front on the first floor, original fireplaces in the upstairs bedrooms, and period details such as original doors, surrounds, and decorative architraves. These elements provide a strong foundation for restoration and the creation of a truly distinctive home.
The generous proportions are immediately evident, with ceiling heights of approximately 10 feet on the ground floor and 9 feet on the first floor. A classic bay window to the front adds to the Victorian charm and allows for excellent natural light.
Accommodation comprises an entrance hall, living room with open fireplace, kitchen, utility space, and four bedrooms. “The layout offers flexibility and scope for reconfiguration, depending on the buyer’s vision,” said the auctioneers.
