Are you dreaming of a charming thatched home nestled in the picturesque countryside of Galway? Look no further than this enchanting property in Kilshanvey, Cloghans Hill, Kilconly. Presented by Gerry Conway of APP Kirrane Auctioneering, this unique offering includes a five-bedroom thatched house along with a two-bedroom lodge, providing a diverse array of possibilities for potential buyers.
This five-bedroom thatched home is a rare find, offering a blend of old-world charm and modern conveniences. The property is situated on a quiet rural road, surrounded by the stunning open countryside, providing an idyllic setting for a peaceful lifestyle. The house, though vacant for some time, boasts a unique character with several distinctive features including a thatched roof, small sash windows, and a metal spiral staircase leading to the first floor.
Inside, the property offers five spacious bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, a bathroom, a sitting room/dining room, a kitchen, and a utility room. The ground floor features timber floors throughout, and the sitting room is enhanced by a brick fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. There is also a fireplace in one of the bedrooms, adding to the home’s charm. The extensive gardens feature a metal seat wrapped around a mature tree and a patio area with a wooden table and benches, ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons.
Charming Two-Bedroom Lodge
The accompanying two-bedroom lodge offers additional living space or the potential for rental income. This property features two double bedrooms, a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room, and a sun lounge. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and built-in units, while the bathroom is fully tiled with a shower, WC, and wash hand basin. The lodge benefits from oil-fired heating and has a D1 BER rating, similar to the main house.
There is also the exciting possibility of restoring three additional storage units on the site. These were once dwellings and could be renovated and used for long-term letting or Airbnb, creating another source of income for the discerning buyer.
