Located one of Galway’s most sought-after residential areas, this substantial property on St Paul’s Road presents a rare and exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, versatility, and location in equal measure.
Just minutes from Galway city centre and the coastal charm of Salthill, this expansive residence, measuring approximately 175sq metres, is a shining example of the potential that lies within Galway’s established suburbs. Offering generous living space, a self-contained granny flat, and a larger-than-average private rear garden, the home is a canvas for transformation, ready to be tailored to modern family life.
From the moment you enter, the property exudes a sense of openness and light. The ground floor features a thoughtfully designed layout where living, dining, and kitchen areas connect seamlessly via elegant archways. Wooden floors, a feature fireplace, and a bay window add warmth and character, while a guest wc and shower enhances practicality for daily living.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms offer ample accommodation, including a bright and impressively large master suite complete with en suite bathroom and distinctive stained-glass feature. The main family bathroom has both bath and separate shower, and wc, sink and bidet.
Adding even more value is the insulated attic space, already fitted with two Velux windows to the front and a standard rear window and additional mid Velux window. Currently accessed via Stira stairs, this area is ripe for conversion, offering an excellent opportunity to expand the living space further.
A standout feature of the property is its fully self-contained granny flat at the gable end. Comprising a sitting room/kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom (with shower and stained-glass feature ), the space is perfectly suited for multigenerational living, rental income, or as a private home office or studio. It can be accessed independently from the front and rear, yet offers the flexibility to be seamlessly reintegrated into the main residence if desired.
Externally, the property continues to impress. There is off-street parking to the front, and to the rear lies a garden that is larger than average for the area and is not overlooked — a blank slate for outdoor entertaining, play areas, or even future development (subject to planning ).
While the property does require refurbishment and cosmetic modernisation, its size, flexibility, and unbeatable location more than compensate. It also qualifies for the Derelict Home Grant, an added financial incentive.
With close proximity to some of Galway’s best schools, universities, hospitals, and transport links, not to mention the shoreline of Salthill, this is a location that is hard to beat.
