About this property
Description
Carrownamorrissy House, Oldcastle, Kiltullagh, Athenry, Co.Galway Eircode: H65 XH79 Guide Price: €195,000 For Sale by Private Treaty Step into history with this enchanting 1825 thatched stone-built cottage, proudly presented by Jennifer Goggin of Keller Williams. Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, Carrownamorrissy House offers character, comfort, and tranquillity — the perfect retreat for those seeking a unique home with timeless appeal. Originally constructed in 1825 as part of the historic Persse Moyode Estate, this cottage celebrates its 200th anniversary this year. Beautiful cut stone features both inside and out, with the year of construction carved into the keystone of the original cut-limestone fireplace arch — a distinctive detail that captures the heritage of the property. Over time, the cottage has been sympathetically renovated and modernised, retaining its traditional charm while offering the comforts of modern living. A thoughtfully added first floor provides two additional bedrooms, while key upgrades include new floors and stairs, dry-lined outer walls for improved insulation, updated electrics, a new bathroom, and a modern kitchen. Tucked away on a quiet country boreen and set back from the road, the property enjoys peace and privacy in an idyllic rural setting while still being convenient to local towns. Athenry is just 8.8km away, Loughrea 13km, and Galway City 32km, with easy access to the M6 motorway. Heating is provided by a solid fuel system with back boiler and radiators throughout. A new pipe has been laid for connection to the local group water scheme (currently served by a private well), and the property also benefits from a private septic tank. A key advantage of this sale is that all contents are included — furniture, fittings, and appliances — ensuring this is a genuine turnkey home. Set on 0.14 hectares (c.0.35 acres), the cottage boasts a large rear garden, ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and rural views stretching towards the Slieve Aughty mountains. Two outbuildings enhance the property further: one used as a turf shed, and another (with electric supply), part open-fronted and part enclosed. This versatile space could serve as a workshop, studio, office, hobby room, or provide excellent storage.
