** VIRTUAL TOUR AVAILABLE ** We are truly delighted to present to the open market, “8 Canal Road Upper”, a substantial four-bedroom detached period residence superbly positioned overlooking the Canal and the Millennium Children's Playground, in the very shadow of Galway Cathedral. This highly desirable address offers the perfect balance of tranquil waterside surroundings while being just a short stroll from Galway City Centre and the entrance to the grounds of the University of Galway. Built in the 1940s, this charming home stands on a generous site of approximately 0.16 acres and extends to approximately 2,000ft2 of living space. The property retains many of the attractive features associated with homes of its era, including high ceilings, spacious rooms, and large windows that flood the interior with natural light. The well-balanced accommodation offers excellent potential for a magnificent family home in one of Galway's most established residential locations. While the residence would benefit from some modernisation, it presents a rare opportunity for buyers to create a truly exceptional home tailored to their own style and requirements. The large private west-facing rear garden is a standout feature, offering wonderful privacy and sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. Given the size of the site, the property also lends itself to further extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The location is second to none. Canal Road Upper is widely regarded as one of Galway's most prestigious residential addresses, offering peaceful canal-side walks while remaining within easy reach of shops, schools, restaurants, the hospital, and the vibrant heart of the city. Homes of this calibre and potential rarely come to the market in such a prime setting. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a period residence with character, scale, and exceptional potential in one of Galway's most sought-after locations. Key Features: • Detached four-bedroom period residence • Approx. 186 sq. m. of living space • Built in the 1940s • Standing on a site of c.0.16 acres • Overlooking the Canal • Opposite the Millennium Playground • Adjacent to Galway Cathedral • High ceilings and generous room proportions • Garage and off-street parking • Large private west-facing rear garden • Potential for further expansion. • Within walking distance of the city centre and all amenities including the University of Galway.
