Colleran auctioneers has just been favoured with the sale of No 9 Curralee, Headford Road, Galway, a home that impressed everyone who has viewed it since viewings started last week. Totally transformed by its current owners in 2013, the property has immediate kerb appeal, but gives little indication of the impressive work and interior design carried out throughout.
Externally, this property has an attractive grey facade with highly efficient double glazed windows and doors and a beautifully paved driveway. Step inside, and the high standard of interior finish is immediately evident. In addition to all the new double glazing two new heating systems were installed, including a modern feature solid fuel stove in the sitting room with back boiler, a new oil condensing burner in the boiler house, and new radiators throughout. For additional efficiency, the walls and attic have been insulated. All this expensive work brought the house from a BER of F up to a B3 rating, something you will seldom find in similar homes. Other work included a new kitchen and new bathroom plus new floor coverings, and the house has been newly painted and decorated throughout.
The accommodation of this compact semidetached home includes entrance porch, sitting room with feature solid fuel stove, new fitted kitchen with walk-in larder, two double bedrooms, and a new bathroom. There is a folding stair to the attic for additional storage. Another welcoming surprise in this gem of a property is the landscaping of the back garden with the lawn removed for ease of maintenance, a new steel shed for additional storage, and an outside seating area.
The house is within walking distance of the city centre, local shopping centres, cinema, the River Corrib. With an excellent local bus service, this home has every convenience on its doorstep. For sale by private treaty at a guide price of €220,000, viewing is a must to appreciate the quality and value on offer. This home will be of immediate interest to first time buyers or those looking for a gilt edge investment so close to the city centre and university.
