Description
COUNTRYSIDE COTTAGE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ATHENRY TOWN David Moggan Property Consultants are delighted to present this charming countryside cottage, offering picturesque rural views and exceptional potential. Ideally located just a 5 minute drive from the historic town of Athenry, this property enjoys the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience. Athenry is renowned for its strong community atmosphere, excellent schools, rail and motorway connectivity along with a host of local amenities including shops, cafés, sporting facilities and scenic walking routes. Galway City reachable within 30 minutes, making this an ideal home for commuters seeking a peaceful setting. The cottage itself is rich in character, with a layout that remains true to its period of construction. It is set on an impressive site extending to circa 1.3 Acres, with a substantial portion of land to the rear, offering excellent versatility—ideal for those wishing to create an expansive garden, enjoy outdoor living, or explore future development potential (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The site is bordered by mature deciduous trees, enhancing both privacy and the sense of heritage. A number of outbuildings within the yard further add to the appeal and are suitable for a variety of uses. Upon entering the bungalow, the property’s charm is immediately evident, with low ceilings that create a warm and intimate atmosphere. To the right of the entrance hall lies the main living and dining area, featuring a solid fuel stove with back boiler. Front-facing windows beautifully frame the spectacular countryside views to the fore. To the rear is the kitchen overlooks the extensive grounds and also located to the rear is the main bathroom, fully tiled from floor to ceiling and fitted with a walk-in shower. Two bedrooms are positioned just off the main living area (one to the front and one to the rear). Further along the hallway is a separate sitting room, a particularly cosy space with an open fireplace. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is an additional bedroom located at the end of the hallway. Stairs from the living area lead to the upper level, where two further rooms are located. These versatile spaces are ideal for use as additional bedrooms, home offices, hobby rooms, or quiet retreats, depending on the needs of the new owner. Overall, this property represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a character-filled home on a generous site in a highly convenient countryside setting. With some outlay, this charming cottage could be transformed into a superb family home. There is also a plot of bog included in the sale. Viewing Strictly by Appointment. Accommodation: Entrance Hall, Living/Dining Room, Kitchen, Three Bedrooms and a Bathroom. First Floor: Two Rooms/Optional Bedrooms
