DNG Leonard & Heaslip presents Glenardeen House, one of Galway city’s most distinguished private residences, set on an elevated and remarkably secluded site on Taylor’s Hill. Positioned behind electric gates and surrounded by mature landscaping, this exceptional home enjoys a southeasterly rear aspect and partial views over Galway Bay, offering a rare combination of privacy, scale, and prestige in one of Galway’s most coveted addresses.
Extending to approximately 425sq m, the accommodation is generously arranged, with a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms ideal for both refined entertaining and comfortable family living. The entrance hall and lobby create an immediate sense of grandeur, while a private study sits to the right — perfect for home working or quiet retreat.
To the rear, an elegant dining room with fireplace opens directly onto the garden and connects seamlessly to a large conservatory positioned to capture morning and midday light. Adjoining both is a magnificent drawing room — a statement space featuring an impressive fireplace and dual access to the conservatory.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a sitting room, guest wc, utility room, and an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, complete with fitted units, an island, and an Aga range, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a truly luxurious master suite. This exceptional space incorporates a private living area with large windows framing views towards Galway Bay, an en suite, and an extensive dressing room. Three additional bedrooms — one en suite — are all generously sized, while a main shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.
Set on approximately 0.72 acre, the grounds are a standout feature of Glenardeen House. Mature trees, established planting, and thoughtful landscaping create an oasis of privacy. Electric gates open to a sweeping driveway, while the rear gardens offer multiple outdoor spaces including a paved patio, raised deck, and gravelled seating area — all perfectly oriented to enjoy the southeasterly aspect.
A large externally accessed basement provides superb storage and offers potential for a variety of uses.
Importantly, the site also benefits from full planning permission for an exceptional 809sq m residence, approved under Planning Ref: 24/60040, offering purchasers a rare opportunity to deliver a landmark home in this highly sought-after location.
The location is simply exceptional. Glenardeen House sits adjacent to The Ardilaun Hotel and within a short walk of Galway city centre, Salthill, the Promenade, Leisureland, and a choice of primary and secondary schools. Nearby sporting amenities include Galway Golf Club, Salthill/Knocknacarra GAA Club, and Galway Lawn Tennis Club. Shops, cafés, restaurants, parks, and coastal walks are all moments away.
“It is exceptionally rare to find a residence of this calibre on 0.72 acres in Taylor’s Hill," said James Heaslip. "Glenardeen House offers a level of privacy and maturity that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the city.”
Glenardeen House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of scale, character, and enduring quality in one of Galway’s most prestigious residential enclaves. With its privacy, mature landscaping, expansive layout, and unrivalled Taylor’s Hill location, this home offers long-term appeal and a lifestyle of exceptional calibre.
