Description
Colleran Auctioneer`s is pleased to present this substantial four-bedroom detached dormer positioned on a highly coveted, elevated site along Kingston Road, Galway. Scaraveen`, Kingston Road, Galway offers uninterrupted stunning views across Galway Golf Club and Galway Bay. While it boasts an exceptional architectural footprint and a premium location, this home now requires modernisation and renovation throughout. This property is being sold as a blank canvas, offering an incredible opportunity for a buyer to recreate a bespoke, energy-efficient dream home tailored to their own taste.
The ground floor layout is exceptionally generous in scale, providing a strong structural foundation for a modern re-design. An entrance porch leads to an entrance hall featuring a traditional quarter-turn staircase. To the left, a dual-aspect sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows offers a grand scale formal room with French doors leading to the dining room. To the right, a separate, secondary living room with double floor-to-ceiling front windows overlooks the mature front garden. To the rear of the ground floor, a spacious kitchen featuring a distinct bay window overlooks the beautiful back garden, while a utility room and an adjacent guest WC offer extra facilities. A highly functional semi-integrated side hall that gives sheltered external access to a boiler house and a dedicated laundry/wet room will be ideal as a future mudroom space.
Upstairs, the turning staircase splits into a walk-in hot press on one side and a bright, spacious landing on the other, and is flooded by natural light from twin dormer windows. An expansive main bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room, an ensuite bathroom and fabulous panoramic views of the Galway Golf Course, Galway Bay and the Clare hills. The three additional double bedrooms are all equally well sized and clustered around a centrally located, spacious family bathroom.
Outside, the site features mature, landscaped front and rear gardens bordered by large evergreen hedges that offer excellent privacy. A natural stone boundary wall defines the front entrance, which opens to a wide tarmac driveway providing ample off-street parking,
This property is an ideal prospect for forward-thinking families looking to acquire a high-profile site, with amazing views in one of Galway`s premier locations. The below video gives an indication of the development potential for this site, subject to planning permission. Guiding at 850,000, early viewing is strongly recommended.
