Oughterard is a traditional village beside Lough Corrib. The village sits at the start of the Connemara mountains and is only a short drive from the vibrant city of Galway. With its traditional, colourful, stone shopfronts and the 16th century Aughnanure Castle, it perfectly combines old Irish charm with modern services and comforts. Further attractions include lovely gift shops, cruises on the lake, an 18 hole golf course, and delightful restaurants and cafes. The crowning jewel of the village is the lovely Owenriff River running through it, beginning in the Connemara mountains and flowing, at the edge of town, into Lough Corrib.
Railway Lodge, Canrawer, is located just 1.5km from the village on 1.25 acres (0.5 hectare ) of mature established gardens, a beautiful peaceful home, just 20 miles (32km ) from Galway city.
Built in 1996, Railway Lodge was run as a guest house for many years and benefits from having five large en suite bedrooms and four reception rooms. The current owners have lovingly cared for and maintained their home over the past 26 years and now feel it is time to pass on the home for the next stage of its history.
This home offers bright and spacious accommodation throughout. The large entrance hall has doors to the left leading to the kitchen and dining room. A long hall leads to two further living rooms, two downstairs en suite bedrooms, and a guest toilet. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms, all of which are en suite. Externally the property benefits from having a large detached garage, which is fully wired and plumbed, and a separate storage shed.
Located on the edge of Oughterard, it benefits from all the services the village has to offer and is within an easy commute of Galway city.
Railway Lodge is a special property for many reasons. It has been a very happy home for its current owners, and they now wish to pass it on so that its next occupants can enjoy its charms.
