About this property

Description

A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached city centre residence in one of Galway’s most scenic and sought-after waterfront locations. No.20 Riverside, Woodquay is a charming two-storey home superbly positioned at the very end of Riverside, enjoying commanding, uninterrupted views over the River Corrib and the iconic Salmon Weir. This unique setting places the property at the heart of Galway’s natural and cultural landscape, with Galway Cathedral, the Fisheries Field, riverside walkways, rowing clubs, and boat clubs forming a stunning and ever-changing foreground skyline. Originally built in 1961, this detached residence offers approximately 91 square metres of well-proportioned living space and represents a truly rare opportunity to secure a standalone home in a prime city centre setting. The existing accommodation comprises a welcoming living room, kitchen, guest WC, three bedrooms, one main bathroom, and a separate store, providing a practical and functional layout that can be enjoyed as is, or enhanced to create a spectacular modern riverside home. One of the most compelling features of this property is its exceptional development potential. Full Planning Permission has been granted for an exciting extension and refurbishment project, including the construction of front and side extensions to the existing dwelling, increasing the overall floor area to approximately 1,175ft2. The approved plans also include elevation alterations and the provision of a pitched roof to replace the existing flat roof, offering the opportunity to significantly enhance both the aesthetic appeal and internal layout of the home, while maximising its breathtaking river views. The location is simply unrivalled. Situated in the heart of Woodquay, the property enjoys all the benefits of city centre living while being surrounded by natural beauty. Riverside walks, green spaces, cultural landmarks, and leisure amenities are all literally on the doorstep, while Galway city centre’s shops, cafés, restaurants, and services are just a short stroll away. No.20 Riverside represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a detached home in a blue-chip Galway city location, with panoramic river views and approved planning permission to create a truly exceptional residence. Whether as a unique private home, a high-end city base, or an investment in one of Galway’s most iconic settings, this property offers unmatched potential, location, and lifestyle appeal. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the uniqueness and long-term value of this remarkable riverside home. • Built in 1961 • Recently refurbished • Private rear yard • Overlooks the River Corrib • Adjacent to Galway Rowing Club • Electric heating • Double glazed throughout in 2018 • Roof redone 2008 • Re-wired in 2023.
