If your concept of heaven is a century-old thatched cottage within a stone’s throw of the sea, then this four-bed, three-bath home at Cartonkeel, Inverin, could be the answer to your dreams.

Originally constructed in 1905, it has been well maintained by its current owners – and this spacious accommodation with four sizeable bedrooms also comes with 1.36 acres of its own grounds, a garage, shed and other small stone outbuildings.

Guided at €350,000, it is located at the top of a short boreen that leads to a beautiful lesser-known sandy beach.

Of huge benefit is the second gated entrance to the site off the boreen, facilitating walks to the beach and general site access from that side of the holding, as well as through the gated entrance into the driveway and front garden off the main road.

The cottage itself comprises 141 sq.m over two storeys. Immediately through the front door there is a floor to roof central living area with stairs and traditional fireplace.

This area leads separately to a dual aspect dining room, quaint kitchen and additional downstairs room that can be used as a fourth double bedroom or an additional reception room.

The kitchen is complete with all mod cons and provides everyday access to the driveway with electric car charger. Completing the downstairs, there is a sunroom to the rear and adjacent bathroom with electric shower.

Upstairs consists of three sizeable dormer bedrooms, all suitable for double beds, and a main family bathroom. The rear bedroom avails of its own en-suite shower room and outdoor access via external stairs to the back garden, offering beautiful views towards the coastline.

Situated on the Connemara Coast Road, the cottage is an idyllic setting with picturesque surroundings.

Whilst offering a peaceful setting, the residence is well positioned for amenities being within close proximity to Inverin and Spiddal to the east and Connemara Airport (2km), Rossaveel and Carraroe to the West.

This is an ideal property for a variety of purchasers, owner occupiers & holiday-home owners alike.
