6 St. Johns Terrace Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon , F45 AX95

A Home Rich in Character, History and Potential


Ballaghaderreen is a thriving market town in north County Roscommon, ideally positioned close to the borders of Counties Mayo and Sligo. Renowned for its welcoming community and excellent range of local amenities, the town offers a superb quality of life with schools, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, sporting facilities and healthcare services all within easy reach. Excellent connectivity via the N5 national primary route provides straightforward access to Castlebar, Westport, Longford and Dublin, while Ireland West Airport Knock is located just 20 kilometres away, making the town an increasingly attractive destination for commuters, families and those seeking a more relaxed pace of life.

No. 6 St. John`s Terrace enjoys a superb position within one of Ballaghaderreen`s most attractive Victorian terraces. Comprising just six elegant period homes, the terrace occupies a prominent setting on the western approach to the town centre, with No. 6 being the closest property to the commercial heart of the town.

The property also benefits from an attractive frontage onto Circular Road together with valuable side access via a laneway, placing every convenience the town has to offer within a short stroll.

Steeped in history and recognised within the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage, this handsome three-storey residence is an excellent example of Victorian architecture. The striking double-height bay window immediately catches the eye, while the property`s elegant proportions and period detailing create a home of genuine character and charm. To the rear, a substantial two-storey extension complements the original building, providing generous accommodation while preserving the integrity of the original structure.

Internally, the property offers bright and well-proportioned accommodation extending over three floors. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, an elegant front sitting room with bay window, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, together with a kitchen and adjoining utility room overlooking the rear yard. At first-floor level are two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the converted attic provides a generous third bedroom, equally suited as a guest room, home office or creative workspace.



Outside, the property continues to impress. An enclosed private rear courtyard provides a peaceful outdoor space together with pedestrian access to the adjoining laneway. A number of useful outbuildings offer excellent storage and present exciting opportunities for workshops, hobbies or future conversion, subject to any necessary consents. A further access point to the rear via a shared vehicular laneway adds another practical feature rarely found in period town properties.

While requiring refurbishment and modernisation, No. 6 represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a protected period home of genuine architectural merit in a prime town location. For purchasers seeking to restore a character residence, the property offers exceptional scope to create a truly outstanding home that successfully combines Victorian elegance with modern living.

We understand that the property satisfies the eligibility criteria for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to the purchaser meeting the relevant scheme requirements and obtaining any necessary approvals. This has the potential to provide significant financial assistance towards refurbishment works, further enhancing the appeal of this unique opportunity.

Homes of this calibre, with their combination of heritage, generous accommodation, town centre convenience and outstanding potential, seldom come to the market. No. 6 St. John`s Terrace offers discerning purchasers the chance to restore a distinguished period residence and create a forever home that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
