If you’re looking for a secret hideaway home with lots of added extras read on. What was once a tiny council cottage has now been thoughtfully and meticulously extended and renovated and is now a spacious four bedroom family home standing on one acre of mature and lovingly maintained gardens. Located in rural East Galway this unique property offers complete privacy without isolation with the added bonus of close proximity to a small and relatively unknown public launch area to Lough Derg. A mere 15 minute drive from the small market town of Portumna with all its amenities there are also two primary schools and a secondary school within a 7 minute drive. Originally built in 1902 the house was extended in the 1970s with a further more comprehensive renovation done by the current owners in 2001. BER is E2. Facing South-West it is connected to mains electricity and a private septic tank onsite. The house has its own private deep bored well. All the windows are made of wood and are double glazed and solid fuel central heating is installed. Broadband is installed and there is also 4G available in the area. The ground floor comprises a bright entrance hallway with an ash staircase leading to the first floor and also opens into a spacious kitchen dining room which is the central hub of the house and has a double door leading to the garden. It also opens into a very large sitting room which has a central wood stove and a view of and access to the garden.
