** VIRTUAL TOUR AVAILABLE ** We are truly delighted to present to the open market, “8 Canal Road Upper”, a substantial four-bedroom detached period residence superbly positioned overlooking the Canal and the Millennium Children’s Playground, in the very shadow of Galway Cathedral. This highly desirable address offers the perfect balance of tranquil waterside surroundings while being just a short stroll from Galway City Centre and the entrance to the grounds of the University of Galway.

The well-balanced accommodation offers excellent potential for a magnificent family home in one of Galway’s most established residential locations.
