White Cottage combines timeless charm with modern comfort

There is something timeless about a country cottage - a sense of calm, of character, of a life lived at a gentler pace. At White Cottage, Doon, Strokestown, that timeless charm meets modern comfort in a setting that is as convenient as it is picturesque.

Presented to the market for €220,000 by Sherry FitzGerald P Burke, White Cottage is just 1.5km from the vibrant heritage town of Strokestown.

Set on a generous site of around one acre, this beautifully renovated home offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and easy access to all the amenities of a thriving town.

From the moment you arrive, the appeal is unmistakable. Mature trees and established hedging frame the property, while rose bushes planted along the exterior come into their own during the summer months, enhancing the cottage’s character and colour. The south-facing glass porch to the front of the home is a particularly inviting feature — a bright, peaceful space overlooking the meticulously maintained gardens and patio area.

Inside, the present owners have tastefully renovated and decorated the property, creating a warm and welcoming interior that is both stylish and practical. The heart of the home is the modern kitchen living dining room. A solid fuel stove provides a cosy focal point, complemented by oil-fired central heating.

The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out and perfectly suited to those looking to downsize, first-time buyers seeking a manageable home with outdoor space, or anyone dreaming of a move to the countryside without sacrificing convenience. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a recently renovated bathroom finished to a high standard.

The property is serviced by mains water and a septic tank, combining rural independence with reliable infrastructure.

Beyond the main residence, the site continues to impress. Two sheds are located on the grounds, offering excellent storage and potential. One of the sheds has benefitted from significant upgrades, including a new roof and floor, and has been internally insulated — presenting an exciting project opportunity for future buyers. Whether envisaged as a workshop, studio, hobby space, or potential home office (subject to the necessary consents), the possibilities are plentiful.

“White Cottage represents more than just a home — it is an opportunity to embrace a lifestyle. With its peaceful setting, generous site, tasteful renovations, and proximity to Strokestown’s services, it delivers the best of both worlds - rural charm with town convenience,” said the auctioneers.
