Colleran Auctioneers presents Cois Cuan, Barna Road, Galway, an impressive five bedroom detached residence offering the space, energy efficiency and location that growing families increasingly seek, together with the added attraction of an elevated position overlooking Rusheen Bay.
Built in 2002 and extending to approximately 196.9sq m (2,119sq ft ), Cois Cuan is a substantial family home offering generously proportioned accommodation over three levels. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, this is a property where the next owners can simply move in and immediately begin enjoying everything this highly regarded coastal location has to offer.
The elevated setting is one of the home's defining features. Its position provides attractive views across Rusheen Bay from a number of the bedrooms, creating a wonderful connection with the surrounding coastal landscape while still enjoying the convenience of being within easy reach of Galway city, Salthill and Barna.
From the moment you enter, there is a strong sense that this is a home designed with family life in mind. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a bright and spacious sitting room, where double front windows flood the room with natural light, and a feature fireplace with gas insert provides an inviting focal point.
At the heart of the house is the large kitchen and dining room, a particularly important space for any growing family. The kitchen is fitted with a generous range of units, granite worktops and a practical two-tier island that provides plenty of room for food preparation as well as informal dining. The adjoining dining area opens through French doors into a bright conservatory with a vaulted pine ceiling and dual-aspect windows, providing valuable additional living space. A separate utility room and guest toilet complete the ground floor accommodation.
The sense of space continues upstairs, where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is en suite and enjoys views towards Rusheen Bay, while another bedroom also benefits from the coastal outlook and could double as a study/home office, if required. A further staircase leads to the converted attic, which provides one of the home's most impressive and versatile spaces. Currently arranged as a large fifth bedroom with its own en suite, four Velux windows flood the room with natural light while also capturing views towards Rusheen Bay. For a growing family, this additional floor provides enormous flexibility and could equally accommodate an older child, guest accommodation or a combination of bedroom and study space.
With five bedrooms and multiple living areas spread across three levels, Cois Cuan offers the flexibility required as a family's needs change over time. There is room for younger children, teenagers seeking greater independence, visiting family and those increasingly working or studying from home. Importantly, this generous accommodation is combined with the benefits of a highly energy-efficient home. Its B BER should prove particularly attractive to today's energy-conscious buyers, helping to provide greater comfort and more manageable running costs than many older properties of comparable size.
Zoned oil-fired central heating allows different areas of the house to be managed efficiently, while a modern oil-fired condensing boiler was installed in 2023. An EV charging point further complements the home's practical energy credentials.
From a location point of view, the Barna Road remains one of Galway's most desirable residential addresses, providing an excellent balance between coastal living and accessibility. Barna village, Salthill and Galway city are all readily accessible, placing an extensive choice of schools, shops, restaurants, sporting facilities and everyday services within easy reach. For families, connectivity is particularly important. The Barna Road provides direct road access towards both Salthill and Galway city centre, while regular bus services along the route provide an alternative to travelling by car. University of Galway and University Hospital Galway are readily accessible, as are the many schools, sporting clubs and recreational amenities located throughout Salthill and the western side of the city.
The proximity of Rusheen Bay adds another dimension to the location. Together with nearby Barna Woods, Galway Bay and Salthill Promenade, it places some of Galway's finest coastal and recreational amenities within easy reach, offering families the opportunity to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle without sacrificing city convenience.
Don Colleran of Colleran Auctioneers believes the combination of space, condition and location will be particularly attractive to families. "Cois Cuan has so many of the features a growing family is looking for," he said. "You have five bedrooms, excellent living space, a B energy rating and a home that is presented in excellent decorative order. Add to that its elevated setting with views of Rusheen Bay and the convenience of the Barna Road, and you have a very appealing family home in a wonderful location."
For buyers who have outgrown their current home but do not want to compromise on location, Cois Cuan presents an opportunity to acquire a substantial, energy-efficient residence that is ready to be enjoyed from day one. Its generous accommodation, elevated coastal outlook, excellent condition and accessibility to Barna, Salthill and Galway city combine to create a home particularly well suited to the demands of modern family life.
