Sherry FitzGerald offers this enchanting Victorian farmhouse full of character and laden with charm on 0.65 acre of beautiful gardens in an idyllic rural setting on the doorstep of Galway city. Leitriff House was built circa 1840 in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign and was a substantial country residence for its time.
It has journeyed well over the last 185 years and has developed into the beautiful property it is today, carrying with it many stories, tales and adventures which are ingrained in the character of this home. The house retains many period features with high ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows and hardwood floors. Rooms are large, bright and well-proportioned and it has benefitted from the addition of modern facilities and comforts. Each window has views over the gardens.
On the ground floor there is a sitting room, lounge, dining room, country style kitchen, utility room, guest toilet and study with its own independent access. On the first floor there are currently three large bedrooms, two with walk-in wardrobes, one en suite and the main bathroom. There is access to another studio/potential fourth bedroom at this level.
The grounds extend to 0.65 acre of mature gardens, a mix of planned and wild garden areas, magnificent old trees, and well established shrub and flower beds with winding paths. To the front is a parking area and there are patios to the front, sides and rear, offering tranquil seating areas suitable for family gatherings.
Leitiff House is located off a country road on the edge of Galway city, only 3km to the city centre and a little over 3km to Salthill Promenade. It offers the perfect blend of rural charm with city accessibility.
