IF YOU’RE SOMEONE who often talks about leaving the nine to five to be your own boss, these two buildings that sit in between Portarlington and Monasterevin may just be the properties that makes you take the leap.
Not only is this 128 m² four-bed home spacious enough for a large family, it also has a separate 161 m² building on the same site. There’s no doubt that this former crèche, called Little Rascals, has ample business opportunities – whether the new owner decides to carry on with childcare or start a whole new business venture.
Apart from aesthetic updates they might need, these two large properties are in walk-in condition and the asking price for the two is €650,000.
Both built in 2010, step through the front door of the family home and you’re met with a hall that leads to a large lounge filled of natural light. Spacious rooms are the order of the day in this house.
The open plan kitchen and dining space is, again, very roomy with the added benefit of another, more casual seating area with the right connection for an extra television.
Each of the four bedrooms are roomy and plain enough in design for the next owner to add their own stamp. The bedrooms and social spaces are complemented by two shower rooms and a guest toilet.
There may be a chance that whoever ends up buying this home will need to reconfigure things, be that making the larger of the two building the main house and continuing with a business venture in the smaller.
As it stands, there’s a lot of potential here, seeing as the former creche has three large classrooms, an office, a kitchen, a changing room, a large shower room and two guest toilets. Even the loft area has been converted and is currently home to a gym.
The property is an ideal family home that’s just five minutes from both Monasterevin and Portarlington, making it a great option for anyone who needs to commute to in any direction.
However, with the large extra building on the same plot of land, it would be hard not to let your imagination run wild with business ideas. Be it a yoga studio, extra accommodation or a childcare facility, the potential is there and the choice would be yours.
Little Rascals, Ballagh, Monasterevin, Co Kildare is on the market for €650,000 through Kate O’Shea Auctioneer and Valuer.
