Co Galway: €1.85m: A substantial family house on the estuary near Kilcolgan, Co Galway would suit a family willing to commute the 20 minutes drive to Galway city.
Tyrone was built just 10 years ago, so the problems which come with older country houses should not apply here.
HOK Country is quoting €1.85 million for Tyrone, which comes with five bedrooms, a two-bedroom flat over the garage and 17 acres of grassland directly accessing the water.
Across the estuary from Kilcolgan is the famous oyster festival village of Clarinbridge.
The owner of Tyrone kept horses on the land and the five stables, a tack room, feed room and sand menage will attract keen equestrians.
The entrance hall doubles as a formal diningroom and has a gas fire.
A huge airy sittingroom with oak flooring has great views over the bay. There is a second sittingroom and big kitchen/diningroom overlooking Galway Bay. This includes an Aga, granite worktops and an island unit.
A study with bookshelves, utility, shower room and en suite bedroom are also on the ground floor. Four further bedrooms - all en suite - are off the first floor landing.
The best of these is the main bedroom, which has pine wardrobes, a dressingroom and full en suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath.
Outside are the stables, a stone shed, menage and a two-storey garage with a two-bedroom apartment overhead.
The land lies between the road and the river estuary, with mooring and direct access to the water.
