Family home on a hill overlooking Corrib

Co Galway: €1m A large family home sitting on two acres on a hill a mile outside Oughterard, Co Galway, has a panoramic view of Lough Corrib.

Home for the last nine years to a family with five children, it is now being sold at auction on October 27th through Galway agent Keane Mahony Smith. It has an AMV of €1 million.

Tullyvealnaslee House is a modern home, built in 1971 by a Dublin antique dealer, and is designed to capture the best of the lake views: the large main livingroom has a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on the lake; the main bedroom, also at ground floor level, also looks directly onto the two-acre gardens and the lake.

There is a dressingroom off the bedroom.

The 232sq m (2,500sq ft) house has plenty of room to accommodate a family: downstairs, the kitchen, with its Aga, and a utility room, opens off the livingroom.

A diningroom opens off the kitchen, and both rooms open onto an outside dining area.

There is also a guest toilet and family bathroom at this level.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one currently used as an art studio - an artist and a UCG literature professor are Tullyvealnaslee's owners.

Outside there is a 55sq m (600sq ft) garage which could be converted.
