A €50,000 Irish cottage, eligible for renovation funding, draws interest amid potential upgrades.

Lavender Cottage in Leitrim, Ireland, is listed for €50,000 as a partially renovated 1950s property with a new roof, water connection, and septic tank. Located on a 1.5-acre rural site near the Cavan border and Carrick-on-Shannon, it’s a candidate for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Scheme and has drawn strong interest. Auctioneer Joe Brady estimates it could sell for up to €60,000, with an additional €100,000 investment potentially transforming it into a home worth €150,000. The nearby village of Aughavas, about a two-kilometer walk away, offers a pub, church, school, and sports facilities.
