Curraghaun, Dunmore, Co. Galway

Long & Co. Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market a locally historic house dating back to the mid-1800’s and thought to have been built as a residence for the Kirwan’s herd. Griffiths Valuation (c.1855) lists Richard Kirwan as holding the ‘herd’s house, offices and land’ at that time. John Duggan and his son Sean Duggan where recorded as herds in the census of 1901. In the intervening 125 years the property has had other residents and seen better days. Constructed of cut limestone this detached house has a dormer attic and a contemporary vernacular interior that is now derelict yet the remnants of its previous grandeur is still clear to see. It now presents a unique restoration opportunity. There is also the potential to consider extending the existing house, which may require planning permission. The property is selling ‘as is’. Comprised within Folio GY5244 Plan 1 the site measures approximately 0.815 acres and is located c.2kms from Garrafrauns village, c.5kms from Milltown, c.8kms from Dunmore town and Tuam town is c.15 minutes commute. Additionally, there is an option to purchase a derelict stone outbuilding on c.1.21 acres (Folio GY71643F) that adjoins the property. Only once in a while does a property of this historic nature with great potential come to market therefore robust interest is anticipated.
