A new listing, from Property Partners Maxwell and Heaslip in Oranswell, Bushypark, is guaranteed to push all the right buttons for discerning buyers looking for that special somewhere to put down long roots and embrace the very best in family orientated living.
Located on a wonderful tree lined approach road about half a mile off the main Galway/Moycullen road and about four miles from Galway city centre, Oranswell boasts some of the loveliest properties in Galway, mostly hidden away on large sites with large, mature, gardens. This offering is no exception with beautiful gardens extending to c1 acre and encompassing rose gardens, shrubberies, vegetable garden, and tree fringed lawns, with the westerly boundaries enjoying a babbling brook. A super flagged terrace catches the south and west sun and an opening off the formal dining room is perfect for al fresco summer dining; a long pergola leads away from the terrace towards the little orchard at the top of the gardens.
The house is an eclectic mix of styles, having started off as a fairly modest dormer bungalow in the early sixties, and over the years, thanks to some clever architectural innovation, emerging as a spacious, welcoming, family home with great character and warmth. Nothing was stinted in the transformation. Double glazing is encased in top of the range timber windows. The modern central heating system also runs the magnificent king size Aga which makes the splendid octagonal kitchen the hub of the home. The master bedroom suite has a full size bathroom and a generous dressing room.
James Heaslip, who is handling the sale is prepared to talk for hours on the myriad attractive features. “It’s hard to know what to enthuse about first,” he says. “It’s such a lovely interesting house, with so much space. I think my favourite room is the wonderful dining room. It faces west and has full length windows opening onto the terrace and the gardens, with gorgeous solid maple floors and a stunning pale stone fireplace.” Heaslip also mentions the splendid drawing room with the bespoke fitted bookshelves, and the atmospheric music room and the cosy den off the kitchen. “I would strongly recommend that anyone looking to relocate to a really special family home, full of character and style in a fantastic location, should give me a call. I would be happy to talk all day and extol the perfection of this Bushypark gem.”
The AMV is €1.2 million. Open viewings will take place on Saturday between 3pm and 4pm. For full particulars contact Property Partners Maxwell & Heaslip at (091 ) 565261.
