Property Overview:
For Sale by Private Treaty



Property Description:
On the shores of Lough Corrib within a stone' s throw of Ashford Castle and close to Cong village, this house is unique in location, history, design and appearance. Built in 1905, the house is cut stone with angled, high pitched roofs and private access to the lake. This is " Quiet Man" country; the country of romance and the country of dreams. The house has a character that no builder or money could recreate. It is private but not isolated. It comes to the market complete with its character intact, its proportions perfect and its original features as they were the day the house was built. The front door leads to a wide entrance hall. The sitting room to the right has a big bay window with panoramic views of the lake. A small room to the left of the hall could become a library or office. The large bright room to the rear of the house was used as a bedroom but could of course become a reception room. The kitchen and adjoining utility room are at the back of the sitting room. There is also a good size downstairs bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms all with high, sloping ceilings and original fire places. One room has an adjoining smaller room, ideal for a baby or as a walk in wardrobe, depending on the owner' s stage in life. The house has outbuildings suitable for possible conversion to further accommodation. This house now requires careful and tasteful refurbishment by its new owners who will act as custodians of its beauty and of the lake for generations to come.
