Tomorrow will see some of the best value ever going under the hammer of O’Donnellan & Joyce in its action room in Mary Street — No 4 Asca Beag and No 53 Threadneedle Road.
Located on the Old Rahoon Road, No 4 Asca Beg is being offered for sale at the unbelievable reduced price of €410,000. Back in 2006 when this very exclusive collection of six houses first came on the market they were being offered for sale at €595,000. Built by Cortoon Development Ltd, these homes are finished to an extremely high standard and nothing was spared at the time to bring Asca Beag to another level — a level that was the envy of all who viewed them at the time. However back then many people who dreamed of owning one of these homes were not in a position to purchase — and now here comes a golden opportunity for someone who was disappointed then. This time round purchasing a house in Asca Beag will come with a much lower price tag and there is no doubt that on Friday June 26 someone will leave the auction rooms of O’Donnellan & Joyce a very happy person.
Presented in showhouse condition and coming complete with a state of the art walnut kitchen with all integrated appliances, the house is in walk-in condition. Number 4 enjoys two large living rooms and four double bedrooms along with a host of other extras not often found. To the rear is a fine sized designer garden and a large garden shed. This is an opportunity not to be missed — an opportunity to acquire a large detached home in a unique setting at a very realistic price. You could describe Asca Beag as being in the country but on the edge of the city. It is exactly 2.5 miles from the cathedral and just minutes from B&Q and Dunne’s Stores. This is convenience at its best.

No 53 Threadneedle Road
Threadneedle Road is one of the oldest and most established residential areas of the city and Salthill. Long associated with class and location, No 53 Threadneedle Road is a home of distinction and offers the discerning purchaser a wonderful family home with an abundance of space both inside and out. Spread over three storeys, this is one of the most impressive properties to come to the market for some time.
Although in need of modernisation and some refurbishment this unique property still retains most of its original characteristics. This two storey over basement house has wonderful potential and with some thought and good architectural advice can be transformed into a superb family home. From the basement you can access the wonderful gardens that are adorned with exotic plants and shrubs. It is clear from the layout of the garden and the positioning of the various relaxing areas that the owners had a passion for gardening and the outdoors. Threadneedle Road is wonderfully convenient — go out the gate and turn left, and within minutes you are on the Prom. Turn right and you are in one of the notable post primary schools in Galway, and cross the road and you are in the Galway Lawn Tennis Club with courts and gym.
Accommodation comprises large entrance hall, living room, sitting room, sun room, kitchen/dining, rear porch, downstairs toilet, four double bedrooms, bathroom. The basement comprises five rooms in all with access to the gardens.
Going into the auction room with a price tag of €795,000, No 53 Threadneedle Road is the last of its kind. Standing on a large corner site and fronting on to Dr Mannix Road and Threadneedle Road, this is a special property.
Solicitor with carriage of sale is Frank Joyce, 25 Grand Parade, Cork, phone (021 ) 4251700.
