Lot 927, `MAYFLY COTTAGE`, BARNAGORTEENY, OUGHTERARD, CO. GALWAY, H91 W0VK.

A CHARMING, 3 / 4 BEDROOM PERIOD PROPERTY, STEEPED IN HISTORY AND LOCATED ON THE EVER-POPULAR GLANN ROAD AND SET ON A SITE OF CIRCA 0.8 ACRES.

Mayfly Cottage has for many years been a focal point of the Glann Road, being a property set within beautifully maintained gardens and the cottage with its charming thatched front facia, and beautiful roses to the front. The gardens in the 1960`s won many prizes from around the country. The property was originally constructed in the late 1800`s and was in its time the `wash room` for Currevagh House where all the laundry was done. In the early 1970`s the Keutgens purchased the property, they were Dutch dentists who retired to Oughterard after the Second World War and we understand renovated a number of houses in Oughterard including May Fly Cottage. The property now benefits from double glazed windows and doors throughout, gas fired central heating, mains water, mains electricity and septic tank drainage, located within the confines of the site. The property has a detached garage which is accessed from the Barnagorteeny road over a cattle grid. The property itself has a thatched front façade, flat roof at the rear and is of stone and block construction and benefits from a wooden slatted exterior to the rear. There are two separate doors at the first floor giving access to the rear gardens and the property is well maintained throughout. The property benefits from Eir Fibre extreme broadband with quoted speeds of 150Mb and has an alarm installed.

Oughterard is a friendly village which has grown substantially in size over the past few years. Visitors and locals are well catered for with a good range of shops, lively pubs, bank, post office, and restaurants which cater for almost every need and not to mention walking, fishing and other leisure activities for which this area is justly famous. Golf is available only 15 minutes from the property at the Oughterard golf course, set in natural parkland, and there are six other golf courses within an hour`s drive. Oughterard has a diversity of spectacular scenery on the doorstep of Connemara with the tranquility and comfort of country living, yet less than 25 minutes` drive to Galway City. The area abounds with wildlife, some of it rare, and is the home of one of Ireland`s most elusive mammals, the tree dwelling pine martin, as well as deer, otter, hare, rabbit, badger, stoat and all manner of birds. A virtual nature lover`s delight. The road upon which the property is situated is part of the Western Way, a 50km walking trail from Oughterard to Leenane and the road finishes some 4 miles past the house at the hill of Doon. There are also many walking trails through forests and moorland intersected with many small rivers and streams and with spectacular views over Lough Corrib.

The dresser in the kitchen and ALL white goods are included in the sale and other furniture may be available by separate negotiation.
