Description
An exclusive residential and amenity estate blending heritage and elegance set in mature parkland Set on approximately 115 acres of parkland and mature woodland, Saint Clerans Manor is a magnificent Georgian estate steeped in history and distinction. Originally built in 1784 and attributed to renowned architect Sir Richard Morrison, the manor stands as one of Galway's most celebrated period residences, combining classical proportions with rich architectural detail. Occupying a tranquil position along the Dunkellin River, the estate offers exceptional privacy and natural beauty, complemented by extensive lawns, ancient trees, and a charming cottage that has been recently refurbished to a high standard. At the heart of the estate lies the principal house, a striking four-bay Georgian residence featuring elegant arched recesses and later Victorian Gothic embellishments, including crenellations and pointed arch windows. The accommodation is both grand and inviting, with beautifully balanced reception rooms, high ceilings, and fine period detailing throughout. Saint Clerans has undergone thoughtful restoration and enhancement in recent years, preserving its historic integrity while introducing modern comfort and convenience. The result is a residence of rare quality, where timeless architecture meets contemporary living. A collection of traditional stone outbuildings and farm buildings adds to the estate's charm and versatility. The surrounding lands include a mix of mature parkland, grazing pastures, and woodland, enclosed by traditional stone walls. With its rich past, Saint Clerans Manor represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire one of Galway's most notable country estates, combining historical grandeur, natural beauty, and exceptional privacy within easy reach of Galway City. Saint Clerans Manor A stately period manor of elegant proportions, Saint Clerans presents classic architectural symmetry beneath a slated roof. Inside, the accommodation is arranged over three floors, combining gracious reception rooms for entertaining with comfortable, light-filled private quarters, all finished to a high specification while sensitively retaining period character. Notable features include decorative ceiling roses and cornicing, original sash windows with refined architraves and shutters, and colonnades. A light-filled entrance hall, approached via limestone steps and framed by a graceful portico with round columns, sets an inviting tone for the residence. This impressive space flows naturally to both wings of the home and features a marble floor and decorative colonnades. Beyond, meticulously finished mahogany doors lead to the two principal reception rooms, the drawing room and dining room, each of similar proportions and showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and refined detailing. An inner hall with a cantilevered staircase leads to a bright sitting room featuring an ornate marble fireplace and stove. A lift providing access to all three levels is also located here. Adjacent to the sitting room lies the kitchen, which combines modern convenience with period elegance. Converted back from a commercial kitchen in 2013, it now serves as a warm family space, featuring an Aga and an extensive range of beautifully crafted floor and wall-mounted units. Large windows allow natural light to fill the room, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The ground floor also includes a spacious utility room, a comfortable living room with a marble fireplace and stove, and a bedroom with en suite. The majority of the bedroom accommodation is located on the first floor, accessed via the magnificent, cantilevered staircase. The master suite, known as the Griffin's Suite, occupies an entire wing and includes his-and-her dressing rooms with beautifully crafted built-in wooden wardrobes, a spacious bedroom featuring dual-aspect windows, and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Three additional bedroom suites are also found on this level, along with a study/home office. Saint Clerans has undergone energy-efficiency upgrades, including the installation of a Fröling wood-chip boiler and a Eurotech hydrothermal heating system, making it well suited to modern-day living.
