Description

Derelict House on 9.7 acres

"Under bare Ben Bulben's head" - W.B.Yeats

Set in the stunning landscape of North Sligo, with the magical Benbulben mountain as a backdrop, Urlar House is located within 10 minutes drive of a number of beautiful beaches, at Rosses Point, Lisadell, Maugherow, and Streedagh. It is also within 10 minutes drive of Sligo University Hospital, Atlantic Technological University, and Sligo Town Centre. Located along the N15 (Sligo-Donegal Road), this is a very attractive rural property that will appeal to those seeking "a project".

The land is of good quality, all in one square block, fronting the N15, and has potential for small holding to compliment the residence. Urlar House is a listed building in the National Records. Renovation works had commenced approx 15 years ago, but were never completed, and the residence now lies semi-derelict. It has a beautiful south-facing aspect and, with time and money, could be restored to its former glory. The house originally extended to approx 200m² over two floors and, up to about 25 years ago, had been used as a guest house. The house is thought to have been built in the 1840's/50's.

At the back of the residence is an enclosed courtyard with a range of two storey outbuildings with a pitched slate roof. These outbuildings are largely intact and could be another renovation project for residential accommodation for guests or extended family members. 

The farm accommodation includes a 3-bay slatted house with creep area at rear. The land is divided into a number of paddocks with mature trees and hedging.

The residence and buildings are accessed off the N15 by a tarmac and gravel driveway which needs upgrading.

Services to the property include mains water and electricity.

How to find us

Sligo, land of rivers, mountains, lakes and vast stretches of stunning coast line, is a county which remains hidden to many visitors to Ireland, but once they have discovered it they understand why the poet W. B. Yeats called it the land of hearts desire. Its scenery and attractions are second to none, undoubtedly amongst the best in Ireland.

As the closest point on the West Coast to both Dublin and Belfast, Sligo makes an ideal touring base and holiday centre for either independent travellers or groups wanted to experience something of the wild, wonderful West. Sligo, capital of the Northwest Region, is one of Ireland?s largest towns. It accounts for one third of the County?s population with over 20,000 residents, swelling to a daytime population of 42,000. Situated on the Garavogue River, Sligo is a thriving tourist, commercial and administrative regional centre. It is also an important location for industry with many leading multinationals based here. The Irish Government some years ago selected Sligo as a Gateway or Growth Centre, which will guarantee further development in the future. Development: Over the past 10 years Sligo has grown significantly with the Rockwood and JFK Parade schemes providing rejuvenation in the City Centre. More is to come, with the development of the Buttermarket multi-storey car park and shopping mall which will further enhance the city?s reputation as a shopping destination. With Sligo?s (bypass) Inner Relief Road completed, pedestrianisation of the city centre will follow, greatly enhancing the Sligo experience for residents and visitors alike. Already heavy goods based retail warehousing is being catered for on the edge of town.

Outside Sligo City, the next biggest town is Tubbercurry, located on the N17 Roadway, 20 miles south of Sligo. This is a thriving county town with much to offer for business or leisure purposes. Knock Airport is just 15 minutes from Tubbercurry.
