Fixer upper Connemara four bed home to famous writer perfect for first time buyers
You will have superb views of Galway Bay from the three floor home
This four bed fixer upper Connemara home is the perfect house for a first time buyer trying to get their foot on the ladder.
The €325,000 house with three bathrooms in Spiddal is just 1km from the town and 20km from the city itself.
DNG Martin O’Connor Estate Agents are offering for sale the traditional two-storey residence with outbuildings, set in the scenic coastal area of Both Chuanna Thoir.
You will have great views of the sea and Galway Bay from your south facing house situated near the centre of the Gaeltacht area of Cois Fharraige with pedestrian access in the area linking towards Spiddal village and its amenities.
The property is the ancestral home of the renowned Irish language writer Máirtín Ó Cadhain, one of the most influential figures in modern Irish literature.
The property has three floors offering a spacious layout throughout but does need renovation and modernisation alongside its recent external upgrades of the last few years.
DNG say: “The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a living room with open fire, a kitchen with fitted units, a rear utility area, and a ground floor WC. At first floor level, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms together with a WC and separate shower room.
“A further staircase leads to attic storage areas, currently used as hobby space.
“The grounds surrounding the property offer a sense of space and privacy, with adjoining lands extending to the rear.
“While low-lying in parts, the lands were historically used for grazing and now present potential for amenity use, gardening, or further enhancement.
“The property may qualify for the 'Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant' of up to €70,000 and for the 'Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) Grants' to help improve the energy efficiency of the property (subject to eligibility and conditions).”
