About

Step into a piece of Ireland’s rich architectural heritage with this captivating 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage in the heart of Ardagh Village, Co. Longford. Presented by Raymond White Auctioneering, this historically significant home was originally built in the 1860s by Sir Ralph Fetherston and forms part of the village’s unique Swiss-style layout — complete with a picturesque clock tower and green.

Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully modernised, the property balances timeless charm with everyday comfort. The entrance hall offers an elegant welcome, while the living room impresses with its vaulted ceiling and antique fireplace — a true focal point of the home. To the rear, a modern kitchen/dining extension opens to a private courtyard, perfect for relaxed outdoor living. On the ground floor, there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, whilst upstairs there is a further bedroom and bathroom.

Nestled in gently rolling countryside, the cottage offers scenic views and easy access to local amenities, St Mels National School, Club Ardagh Childcare service, a Shop, a Post Office, Local GAA and Soccer clubs, and local pubs.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home that is not only full of character but also steeped in Anglo-Irish history. In recent years its charm and architectural beauty have won high praise both at home and abroad and the village is three-time Supreme Winner of the prestigious National Tidy Towns Competition, claiming the title in 1989, 1996 and 1999. Ardagh is also the 1998 European Winner of the British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Environmental Awareness Competition and in 1999, it was the Overall Winner of the 32 county Ireland’s Best Kept Towns Competition. It has also claimed several other European Awards.
