Colleran Auctioneers presents No 11 Whitestrand Road, Salthill, Galway, a substantial six bedroom semidetached residence in one of Galway's most convenient and sought-after residential locations.
With a guide price of €695,000, this exceptionally spacious property offers an interesting opportunity not only for families seeking a home close to the city centre, but also for investors and businesses looking to secure accommodation for employees.
Situated less than a 10-minute walk from Galway city centre and approximately five minutes from Salthill Promenade, the location is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. Whitestrand Road is a mature residential neighbourhood, ideally positioned between the city centre and Salthill, with an excellent selection of amenities, shops, restaurants, schools and recreational facilities all within walking distance.
However, what makes Number 11 particularly interesting from an investment perspective is the combination of its central location, generous accommodation and six bedrooms, four of which have their own en suite facilities.
Extending to approximately 1,739sq ft (161.65sq m ), the property offers an abundance of living space over two floors. On the ground floor, there is a large sitting room, separate dining room, spacious fitted kitchen, utility area and an en suite bedroom. This ground-floor bedroom provides additional flexibility, particularly where accommodation is required for employees or tenants with different living arrangements. Upstairs, there are five further bedrooms, three of which are en suite, together with a main bathroom.
The generous number of bedrooms and bathrooms is a particularly attractive feature for those considering the property as shared accommodation, subject to any necessary regulatory requirements. There is also a large floored attic providing valuable additional storage space.
Outside, the property benefits from a substantial walled back garden and a large block-built garage. The garden provides welcome outdoor space, something that is not always readily available with centrally located investment properties, while the garage offers additional storage or other potential uses, subject to any necessary permissions.
One of the more interesting potential uses for this property is as accommodation for employees. With Galway continuing to be an important centre for employment in sectors such as healthcare, education, hospitality, technology and medical devices, businesses may wish to consider the benefits of having accommodation available for staff. For employers recruiting personnel from outside Galway, particularly those relocating from overseas or other parts of Ireland, finding suitable accommodation can be an important consideration. A property such as No 11 Whitestrand Road could offer a practical solution for a business seeking to provide accommodation for several employees under one roof, subject to the relevant planning, housing and occupancy requirements. The six bedrooms, four en suites and generous communal living areas make this a property worth considering for that purpose. Its central location also means that employees could enjoy the independence of living within walking distance of the city centre, with public transport connections available to other parts of Galway.
University Hospital Galway and University of Galway are also within convenient reach, making the property particularly interesting for organisations employing staff in the healthcare and education sectors. Equally, businesses operating in the hospitality sector may appreciate the proximity to Galway's many hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues, both in the city centre and Salthill.
An important point highlighted by Colleran Auctioneers is that the property is currently owner-occupied and is being offered for sale without an existing tenancy. Of course, the attraction of No 11 Whitestrand Road is not limited to investors. It would also make a wonderful family home, particularly for those who appreciate the convenience of being able to walk to schools, the city centre, Salthill Promenade and Galway's beautiful beaches.
Commenting on the sale, Don Colleran said: "What makes No 11 Whitestrand Road particularly interesting is the variety of purchasers it could appeal to. Six-bedroom houses in such a central location are not something we see every day, particularly with four en suite bedrooms. While it is an excellent family home, I believe it also deserves serious consideration from investors and businesses who may be looking at providing accommodation for their employees. The ability to walk into Galway city centre or down to Salthill Promenade is a tremendous advantage, and the generous accommodation gives a purchaser plenty of flexibility."
With a guide price of €695,000, No 11 Whitestrand Road represents an opportunity to acquire a substantial property in a long-established Galway neighbourhood, offering a combination of location, space and flexibility that should appeal to a broad range of purchasers.
