A five-bed period home has come onto the market in East Galway – offering the perfect home for those who love history and horses.

Because Cooliney House near Kilreekil is much more than a home; it comes with around 50 acres of land, courtyard with outbuildings, a self-contained apartment and a stunning walled garden, for starters.

Where it comes into its own – apart from the tastefully refurbished home – is with its facilities for the horse lover; 15 loose boxes, a Tack Room, Farm Office (all with overhead lofting), and an indoor riding arena.

For sale by private treaty, this five-bed, two-bath home and farm come with a hefty price tag of €1.2 million, but you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck.

Cooliney House itself is set around the courtyard with the outbuildings forming a substantial part of that.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with cloakroom; drawing room, dining room, study, playroom, kitchen, utility room, butler’s pantry and larder/ freezer room.

All five bedrooms are en-suite and there is a separate bathroom on the first floor as well.

Outside there is a self-contained two-bedroom apartment.

The enclosed yard has a three-bay hay shed and lean-to; a six-bay machinery shed, implement shed and poultry house.

Viewing is strictly by prior arrangement with the agents. Email www.goffsproperty.com for more information.
