A rare and truly unique opportunity
to acquire a period residence in such close proximity to Westport on 4.45 HA/11
acres and affording complete privacy. This is
one of the most compelling properties to have been offered to the local market
for some considerable time. Viewing is highly recommended and strictly by prior
appointment. LOCATION
The property has an ideal, tranquil
and private location yet is only located 1.5kms from the town centre of Westport
in beautiful west County Mayo. Positioned to the north of Westport directly off
the (N59) Newport Road, this roadway is undergoing substantial improvements
which, once completed, will divert traffic out of Westport and create even more
efficient connectivity from this location. The surrounding area is largely in
agricultural use interspersed with a small number of private houses. The
Greenway (a designated walking, running, cycling route which runs around
Westport and northwards all the way to Achill) runs immediately beneath a bridge
of the private avenue on what was the old Achill railway line.
The historic and charming town of
Westport is positioned close by and its tree lined streets are full of
interesting shops, artesian food producers, cafes, numerous fine restaurants and
inviting pubs. Many of the larger retailers are also to be found including
Tesco, Supervalu and Lidl together with a broad range of amenities and leisure
facilities. Westport is blessed with stunning scenery positioned on the shores
of Clew Bay and at the foot of Croagh Patrick. There is plenty to occupy one's
self which includes Championship Golf, Hiking, Sailing, Surfing, Wind Surfing,
Salt and fresh water Fishing, a number of blue flag beaches and the historic
Westport House Estate. Westport is the perfect location from which to explore
Connemara, Achill Island and the
off shore Islands of Clare Island and Inishturk.
Westport was voted the best place to
live in 2013 by the Irish Times and has a compelling lifestyle appeal with
excellent local employers making this the ideal location for either a permanent
move, to own a second home or to retire.
THE
PROPERTY
The property is a charming detached
period house dating from c. mid-eighteenth century. It is mostly single storey
and built in cut limestone under a pitched slate roof. In addition to the main
house there is a self-contained 3 bed flat and a series of out offices and
stores. There is also a derelict gate lodge which could be restored. In all
there is some 465 sq.m of accommodation on 4.45HA/11 Acres of
lands.
For the last 26 years the property
has been used as accommodation and teaching facilities for both foreign and Irish students. Historically the house was built as and remained in
use as a private residence until 1989/1990. It has been very well maintained by
the present owners during their tenure and is generally presented in good
condition throughout. However, a new purchaser may decide to occupy it as a private
residence and re-instate it accordingly and are therefore likely to undertake
refurbishment of the property. The 3 bed flat is perfect as a guest suite while the ground floor
underneath same could be used as
offices or workshops depending on requirements .
There are a variety of potential uses
for this property which could include a school, guest house, boutique hotel, or
private residence.
