DNG Martin O’Connor Estate Agents is offering for sale this wonderful traditional two-storey residence with outbuildings, set in the scenic coastal area of Both Chuanna Thoir, Spiddal, Co Galway, just 1km west of Spiddal village and approximately 20km from Galway city.
Occupying a south-facing position with good views of the sea and Galway Bay, the property enjoys a quiet and private setting just off the renowned R336 coastal route, an area celebrated for its natural beauty and strong community, and situated at the centre of the Gaeltacht area of Cois Fharraige with pedestrian access in the area linking towards Spiddal village and its amenities.
Adding to its unique appeal, 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, giving it a rich sense of heritage and cultural significance.
The residence extends over three floors and offers a spacious layout throughout. While the property would benefit from renovation and modernisation, it has been externally upgraded in recent years with a rendered finish, insulation and cladding, providing a solid foundation for refurbishment and allowing a purchaser to create a home to their own taste and specification.
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.
A number of outbuildings are located on the property, offering valuable additional space with scope for a variety of uses including storage, workshop or creative purposes, subject to the necessary consents.
Situated in a peaceful yet accessible location, Spiddal village offers a vibrant coastal community with shops, schools, cafés and local amenities, while Galway city is within comfortable commuting distance. The surrounding Connemara landscape provides a stunning backdrop of coastline, culture and outdoor pursuits.
This is a property of genuine character and potential, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home with heritage, land and outbuildings in a prime coastal location. Whether as a permanent residence, restoration project or countryside retreat, Both Chuanna Thoir offers the ideal setting to create a truly distinctive home.
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 ).
