Property Description

Derrywash, Castlebar is a truly exceptional executive residence, occupying a wonderfully landscaped and elevated site in one of the most desirable locations between Castlebar and Westport. Built in 2004 and extending to approximately 282 square metres / 3,035 square feet, this impressive seven-bedroom, four-bathroom home combines generous proportions, superb versatility and a warm, welcoming character throughout. Set on approximately 0.57 hectares / 1.4 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and space, with mature lawns, attractive planting, sweeping tarmacadam driveways and a detached garage completing what is a very special family home.

From the moment you arrive, the quality and setting of the property are immediately apparent. A stone entrance opens onto a sweeping tarmacadam driveway which gracefully approaches the residence and continues around the dwelling, providing excellent access, parking and practicality. The elevated position allows the home to take full advantage of its peaceful surroundings, with open countryside views, mature trees, manicured lawns and a superb sense of light and openness. The grounds have clearly been carefully designed and maintained, offering both visual appeal and usable outdoor space for family life, entertaining and relaxation.

Internally, the accommodation is both elegant and substantial, ideally suited to modern family living. The entrance hallway sets a refined tone, with polished timber flooring, warm natural woodwork and an impressive staircase creating an immediate sense of quality. The main living room is a beautifully proportioned space, featuring a handsome fireplace, timber flooring, decorative ceiling detail and large windows that draw in natural light. This is a room of real comfort and character, perfect for relaxing evenings, family gatherings or formal entertaining.

The kitchen and dining area is a standout feature of the home, finished in a bright, contemporary style with extensive fitted cabinetry, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and a large central island with seating. The layout is ideal for everyday living, with ample room for dining and easy connection to the adjoining reception spaces. Light floods the room through large windows, while the neutral finishes, tiled flooring and clean modern lines give the space a fresh and timeless feel. A separate utility area adds further convenience, with excellent storage and laundry facilities, while direct access to the outside enhances the practicality of the home.

A particularly charming feature is the sunroom, a bright and inviting space with a vaulted timber ceiling, large glazed doors and multiple windows overlooking the grounds. This room offers a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior, opening out to a patio area ideal for morning coffee, summer dining or simply enjoying the peaceful countryside setting. The natural timber ceiling adds warmth and architectural interest, making this one of the most memorable rooms in the property.

The bedroom accommodation is exceptionally flexible, with seven bedrooms arranged over two floors, making the home suitable for large families, visiting guests, home working or multi-generational living. The ground floor includes several well-sized bedrooms, offering excellent accessibility and convenience, while the first floor provides further spacious rooms with attractive vaulted ceilings, skylights, fitted storage and relaxing lounge areas. These upper-floor rooms have a wonderful sense of retreat, with generous floor area and excellent natural light, offering potential for bedrooms, offices, hobby rooms or private living spaces.

The bathrooms are equally impressive, with four in total, including beautifully finished shower rooms and a striking main bathroom. The main bathroom is particularly spacious and luxurious, featuring a corner bath, separate shower enclosure, elegant tiling and a classic black-and-white floor design. Additional shower rooms are finished in neutral tones and provide modern, practical facilities for busy family life.

Throughout the home, there is a strong sense of quality and care. Timber floors, tiled finishes, recessed lighting, decorative coving, fitted wardrobes, generous storage and well-proportioned rooms all contribute to the overall appeal. The property also benefits from a BER rating of B, an excellent feature for a home of this size and style, offering comfort, efficiency and peace of mind for future owners.

Externally, the detached garage provides valuable additional storage, workshop or parking space, while the extensive tarmacadam driveway surrounding the dwelling is a major practical advantage. The gardens are a real highlight, combining mature landscaping, lawns, trees, patio areas and open space in a setting that feels private, elevated and beautifully established. The site offers ample room for outdoor living while remaining manageable and exceptionally well presented.

Derrywash is superbly positioned between Castlebar and Westport, two of Mayo’s most vibrant and well-serviced towns.
