Barna has always been regarded as the happiest of places to call home. Even going back to earlier decades when a clutch of modest shops and pubs at a small crossroads leading down to a solid protected small fishing harbour comprised the total attraction of the village, with a scattering of ‘posh’ bungalows intermingling with more modest cottages and seaside villas, Barna was always regarded as a desirable address combining easy access to the city with the charm of a leisurely way of life and an intimate, cosy, ambience.
In recent years Barna has changed in some respects, almost beyond recognition. The modest village has been replaced by a modern upscale centre boasting a wide variety of retail outlets, an excellent supermarket, and some great eateries and smart pubs. The old landmark Twelve Pins has been torn down and replaced with a cutting edge hostelry cunningly named The 12. In tandem with this sea-change to the village centre Barna has exploded in terms of residential developments and population growth. Most of the development around the village has been carried out by O’Malley Construction, for many years a leader in innovative and well planned development in the Galway area. The well laid out and imaginative work around Barna is an example of all that’s good in modern design and layout.
New to the books with Property Partners Heaslip is No 97 Creagan, a stunning residence in Barna village built approximately four years ago and finished to better than showhouse condition.
No 97 offers c1,675sq ft of living accommodation, and manages to be spacious and cosy at the same time with the reception and living rooms all flowing effortlessly and creating a wonderful sense of total harmony and perfect taste. A bright hallway has light cream porcelain tiling which leads to a large modern open plan fully integrated kitchen and dining area which has double doors to the manicured lawns and paved area. The living room with its large windows is also very spacious and includes a designer fireplace and solid oak floors.
The master bedroom suite on the second floor overlooks a large green area and has a full array of beautifully fitted wardrobes; the en suite shower room, fully tiled, has a power shower and glass and chrome fittings. The main bathroom, also fully tiled in cool creams, has a power shower over the bath with fitted glass door. A feature chrome towel rail adds that extra touch of class.
Of course it’s the extras that make a big impression, the all solid internal doors, skirting and architraves, the stunning light fittings that complement the recessed lights throughout, the top class fitted venetian blinds, the multitude of electric sockets, the list goes on.
AMV €350,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing contact Property Partners Maxwell & Heaslip at (091 ) 565261.
