A large crowd is expected to attend the last auction of the season when O’Donnellan & Joyce brings four superb properties into the auction room of the Victoria Hotel at 3pm tomorrow (Friday ).
Open viewing has been taking place on all properties over the past five weeks and the turn out to the viewings has been very promising.
A large property in Stradbally East in Clarinbridge has been withdrawn from auction and is now on offer for sale by private treaty, as has No 177 Glen Dara.
Going into the auction room in no particular order are: A dormer bungalow in Slievaun, Clarinbridge; No 25 Maunsells Park, Maunsells Road; No 174 Castle Park, Ballybane; No 1 St Mary’s Park, Taylor’s Hill; and No 6 Fr Griffin Avenue.
The property at Slievaun, Clarinbridge, is an impressive detached dormer bungalow situated on a one acre site with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside.
This four bedroom private residence is located in an idyllic area in one of Galway’s most sought after locations, just outside Clarinbridge and a short drive from Oranmore and Galway city. This contemporary home offers spacious and light filled living accommodation and four large double bedrooms, two of which are en suite.
This recently completed property leaves room for the new owners to complete it to their own taste, while acquiring an impressive new home on a large site. The added benefit of this property is that it is being sold as new so therefore there is a reduced stamp duty rate applicable. This property is at a crossroads to all conveniences. With an advised minimum value of €390,000 this has to be the best value to be had on the open market at the moment. Solicitor with carriage of sale is David Mc Carthy, Sherry & Co solicitors, Gort.
No 25 Maunsells Park, Taylor’s Hill is a large four bedroom semidetached family home. It is situated in one of the most sought after locations in Galway and it is no secret that Maunsells Park has long been associated with prestige and convenience. Maunsells Road and Maunsells Park have stood the test of time and have to be the most desirable locations in Galway. Location, together with space, both inside and out, is what is on offer here. This family home is the answer for people who long to be within easy reach of all local amenities and the city centre. It is within walking distance of many notable primary and post primary schools and just a leisurely stroll from Salthill and Galway city centre. As with all properties of its age, this property would benefit from some modernisation and refurbishment. Standing on a lovely site of beautifully mature gardens front and back and overlooking a large green area to the front, one could not ask for a more suitable and safer place to live. This home is located in a cul-de-sac with lots of open space. Viewing is a must for this property to be truly appreciated. AMV €350,000.
Solicitor with carriage of sale is Una Fleming, Semple & Co solicitors, Lough Corrib House, Waterside, Galway.
Going into the auction room at the unbelievable price of €99,000, No 174 Castle Park, Ballybane has to be the best value in town. It is within walking distance of GMIT and all the amenities in the area. The property is in good condition, however as with all properties of its age it will benefit from some refurbishment and modernisation. Special features of this property include PVC windows and doors, southwest facing garden, rear fuel shed, new boiler, and ofch.
Solicitor with carriage of sale is Brian D’Arcy, Brian Doherty & Co, Saville House, New Dock Street, Galway.
No 1 St Mary’s Park is a unique detached family home located in a very prestigious area just off Taylor’s Hill. Although in need of refurbishment and modernisation, the property retains many of its original characteristics and with some thought and a good architect No 1 St Mary’s Park could be transformed into one of the finest homes in the area. To the rear of the property is a fine sized garden with patio area and storage. Full planning permission has been granted to demolish the existing single storey rear extension and construct a new two storey rear extension with minor alterations to the existing dwelling, to remove front boundary wall to provide off street parking, and to construct a storage shed to the rear of the site. This is a real gem — properties in this area do not come to the market too often. AMV €750,000.
Solicitor with carriage of sale is Judith O’Loughlin, St Francis Street, Galway.
Situated on Fr Griffin Avenue and having rear access and parking, Number 6 is without a doubt one of the finest properties to come to the market for some time. Currently the property, known as the Galway Dental Clinic, is used as a dental surgery, which indicates its value as a commercial unit. However this property would make an equally fabulous family home due to its location and proximity to all amenities in the immediate vicinity. To the rear of the property is a fine sized yard/garden. There is off street parking at the end of the right of way at the side. The property has been totally rewired and replumbed and is wired for PC and internet access in all rooms. It enjoys oil fired central heating and a large attic for storage. Each room has high ceilings and still has a fireplace opening but they are closed up in for its current use.
Ground floor accommodation comprises entrance hall, surgery, surgery storage room, waiting room, reception, study, downstairs toilet and wash hand basin. On the first floor there are four rooms, a bathroom, and an attic for storage. AMV €700,000.
