SALE AGREED

This property is in a superb south facing location, commanding incredible and far reaching coastal views through large picture windows. The property boasts a lovely interior with superbly presented accommodation comprising sitting room with breathtaking views, large kitchen/dining room, 3 bedrooms, bathroom, and large garage to the rear. Abundant space to extend, subject to necessary consents.

The property is set in a south facing position on one of the loveliest and most unspoilt coastlines in the West of Ireland.

The property is only a few hundred yards from the nearest pub and shop, while Kilkieran and Carna are just three miles distant. Ardmore national school is just a short walk away. The property is less than half a mile from Ardmore beach with its wide expanses of soft level sand surrounded by rock pools leading to Finish Island. The area is well provided for a wide range of sporting and leisure facilities, with fishing, boating and water sports most popular using the many beaches and bays which comprise this convoluted coastline. A three day festival, named after the saint, Feile Mhic Dara, is held in Carna each July. This features curragh and hooker racing, sea angling competitions, art and craft exhibitions.

The property is 40 miles from the regional capital of the West, Galway City, with its mainline road, rail and air connections and extensive and substantial cultural, commercial and retail facilities. Shannon Airport is some 2½ hours from the property. Golf is available at a number of Golf Clubs in the area with six courses within an hour's drive of the property.

The property is approached through entrance pillars between local stone walls leading to a tarmac parking area which extends around most of the house giving abundant parking. The house is of concrete block construction under a tile roof with magnificent views south of Kilkieran Bay and to the north of the Twelve Pins.

The house is approximately 16 years old and has been maintained to a very good standard. Oil fired central heating and PVC double glazing thoughout and very attractively decorated. The property is being sold with quality curtains, blinds and light fittings.

The house has views of Lettermore Island in the east with the Burren visible in the south east.

Due south, the house looks onto Gorumna Island with the Aran Islands beyond and, on a clear day with good visibility, views down to Loop head in Co. Clare. The signal tower at Golam head is clearly visible in the mid distance.

To the south west there are superb coastal views across Finish Island and the spectacular beach there to Inishmuskerry and Birmore Island.

To the west the property overlooks Carna and Mweenish Bay, Errisbeg at Roundstone and the Twelve Pins to the north west.

Although the existing property, with its spacious accommodation, maybe adequate for many buyers, the property could be easily extended with adequate space for such extension.
