Rose Cottage, Killucan village (1850’s)
Rose Cottage in Killucan village, County Westmeath was originally built during the 1850’s for workers of the Packenham estates. The privilege of living in such a house at the time would have been reserved for senior estate workers such as foremen, estate managers, head-gardeners, etc.
The house has an acre of gardens and had been heavily extended over the years from an original two bedroom to a five bedroom house with extensive additional living and kitchen areas. The original sash windows have survived and can be seen on the ground floor at the front.
Rose Cottage is an outstanding property that was put up for sale in March 2013 for €324,950 but to encourage a sale, the price was dropped to €299,950 in August 2013. There is firm interest in this property and the sellers expect that a deposit should be made within the next week or two (as at 26th August 2014). Sold for €295,000 on 17th October 2014.
