Poolboy, Ballinasloe, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, H53WY88

Exceptional Restoration Opportunity Overlooking the River Suck & Ballinasloe Rothwell Staunton Cunningham are delighted to bring to the market Somerset Villa, an imposing two-storey detached residence occupying a substantial elevated site at Poolboy, within close proximity of Ballinasloe town centre. Extending to approximately 264 sq. m., Somerset Villa represents a rare opportunity to acquire and restore a substantial period-style residence in a highly distinctive setting, enjoying an elevated position with views overlooking the River Suck and Ballinasloe town. The accommodation is understood to be laid out over two floors and to comprise five bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, breakfast room, living room and scullery, providing excellent proportions and considerable scope for a purchaser to redesign and refurbish the property to suit modern family living. The residence is currently derelict, boarded up and uninhabitable and requires comprehensive renovation and refurbishment throughout. For the right purchaser, however, the scale and character of the building provide an outstanding opportunity to create an impressive family home in a location that would be difficult to replicate. The property stands on a generous site together with a number of derelict outbuildings and sheds. The elevated nature of the site is a particularly attractive feature, affording an excellent outlook across the surrounding area towards the River Suck and the town. Despite its private setting, Somerset Villa is conveniently positioned close to Ballinasloe town centre, with its wide range of shops, schools, sporting facilities, restaurants, transport links and everyday amenities. Of further significance is the development of new pathways passing the property and connecting towards Ballinasloe, which will further enhance pedestrian connectivity between this location and the town. Somerset Villa offers something increasingly difficult to find: A substantial detached residence on a large elevated site, close to town, with commanding views and enormous potential for transformation. For builders, developers, investors or purchasers seeking a distinctive long-term family home, this is a genuinely unique opportunity to restore a prominent property and create an exceptional residence overlooking Ballinasloe and the River Suck.
