Ballard, Barna, Co. Galway, H91P22T

Keane Mahony Smith are delighted to offer this outstanding property to the market at Ballard, Barna. An exceptional residence standing on an elevated, yet secluded site with views of Galway Bay and the Hills of Clare to the south. The extensive accommodation comprises over 3,580sq.ft (332.6sq.m) with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on a site of 0.5 acres. The property is positioned just 50m from the main Barna Road with Barna Woods and Silverstrand beach just a moment’s stroll away. Despite its convenience to the main thoroughfares and attractions, the property maintains its privacy and exclusivity as it fronts onto the more rural Ballard road. The property is bound by traditional stone walls and immaculate tall hedgerows with secure electric gated entrance and cobble-stone paved driveway leading to the façade of the residence. The gardens surrounding the house have been impressively landscaped with varying levels, attractive shrubbery, flower beds, seating areas and paving. The residence comprises a split-level home of concrete construction with slate roof with a very impressive south-facing veranda stretching the length of the southerly and westerly aspect of the house, availing of the amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. A conservatory/sun-room runs along the length of the south-facing façade of the residence attracting an abundance of sunlight and providing a fabulous lounge area to enjoy the views and warmth of the sun. From here, the main lobby greets you with its grand features such as exposed timber roof beams and sunlight window. Off the lobby is the cosy reading room or home office with south-facing windows and solid-fuel stove. The main living room occupies the south-west wing of the home with large windows and patio doors to the veranda. This room also has an open fireplace and raised curve ceiling. The master bedroom is entered via a generous dressing room with patio doors to the veranda. The main bedroom also features double doors to an impressive integrated wardrobe space with a fully-tiled ensuite comprising a jet bath and large separate shower. There are 2 further double bedrooms at this level, one of which has ensuite with shower and WC. The main bathroom is fully tiled with stand-alone bath, separate shower, WC, WHB and bidet. The dining room is an impressive south-facing room with access from the sunroom and a grand open fireplace. The kitchen lies next to this room, with fully-fitted solid wood kitchen units, black granite worktop, Aga range, American fridge and large kitchen island unit. The kitchen also has access from the sunroom with a separate utility room also connected, providing an extension of the kitchen’s fitted units with sink and appliances. From the utility, one can access the double garage. The garage has been fully finished with tiled flooring and patio doors to the rear gardens. This is a spectacular home, immaculately finished and beautifully presented. The exclusive, private site affords views of Galway Bay and is positioned on the edge of Barna village towards Salthill. Its spacious and adaptable accommodation would make for an idyllic family home. We strongly recommend viewing of this property to fully appreciate its appeal.
