Description

Situated midway between Oughterard and Rosscahill on the N59 we are delighted to offer for sale this unique property at Killola. The property over the years has attracted the eye of many a passing tourist with sometimes coaches stopping to picture the lovely garden to the front of the dwelling. On an elevated south facing site the house is a single storey residence with a large attached garage. The site extending close to one acre is bound by a double granite stone wall to the front and a mix of concrete post and rails, stone walls and hedge rows to the sides and rear. The house mainly used as a holiday residence since it was built by the vendors family is an exceptionally spacious house with excellent potential to transform it into a superb family home on a stunning site within an easy 30 minute commute to the city. The rooms throughout enjoy excellent natural light and of course lovely views. The living room extends into a dining area which is split from the kitchen by a wall of display units which could easily be removed and the kitchen and dining room be made one. There are three bedrooms along the front of the house. The walls between these rooms are stud walls and could be adjusted to make bigger rooms if required. There is a second dining / family room to the rear of the house with patio doors to the rear garden. The attached garage is an exceptionally spacious area with a double sized up and over door, it also has a full shower room and laundry facilities. The garage would be ideal for future accommodation (SPP) for an office, gym or bedrooms. The house in need of modernisation is a perfect opportunity to acquire a house in a unique location with scenic views, excellent grounds in addition to excellent amenities both in Oughterard and Rosscahill.
