Property Description

Welcome to ''Loyola'' Killure, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, H53 Y985.

Set on approximately 2 acres in a peaceful countryside setting, Loyola is a charming detached bungalow with enormous potential for its next owners. Tucked away behind Killure Church and surrounded by mature gardens, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special home in a private and picturesque location.

Built in the 1950s and extending to approximately 125 sq.m., the house is in need of refurbishment and modernisation but provides a solid foundation for anyone looking to put their own stamp on a property. The property has been vacant for more than two years and should qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, while additional SEAI energy upgrade grants may also be available, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to restore and modernise a home with financial support.

The accommodation comprises a bright entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and utility room. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom. High ceilings throughout the house enhance the sense of space and light, while the PVC double-glazed windows and doors provide a good starting point for further improvements.

Approaching the property, a traditional white-painted metal fence and matching pedestrian gate framed by mature evergreen trees create an attractive first impression and provide excellent privacy from the road. A separate double-gated entrance offers convenient vehicular access.

Outside, the mature gardens are a real feature of the property, with a variety of trees, shrubs and lawns creating a wonderful sense of seclusion. Several useful sheds and outbuildings are located around the property, adds further appeal for those with equestrian interests or hobby farming ambitions. Beyond the gardens lies a meadow with a stable extending the overall holding to approximately 2 acres, providing ample space for a pony, small livestock, gardening projects or simply enjoying country living. Local wildlife is a regular visitor, including a resident fox that has become part of the property's unique charm.

Despite its tranquil rural setting, Loyola enjoys excellent accessibility. Ballinasloe is just 7km away, while Ahascragh is approximately 4km from the property, ensuring schools, shops, cafés, sporting facilities and everyday services are all within easy reach. The M6 motorway is easily accessible from Ballinasloe, making commuting to Galway City, Athlone and beyond straightforward. The location offers the best of both worlds – peaceful countryside living with excellent connectivity and transport links.

Properties with this level of privacy, character and potential rarely come to the market. For those prepared to invest some time, vision and creativity, Loyola offers the opportunity to create a truly special countryside home on a beautiful 2-acre site in a highly convenient location.

Viewing is highly recommended and can be arranged through Kevin O'Flynn Estate Agent, Ballinasloe
