Property Description

Distinguished Late Georgian Residence on 1.3 Acres of Mature Grounds

Merville is set behind a gated entrance off Taylors Hill, this substantial late Georgian residence (c1830) stands on approximately 0.53 hectares (1.3 acres) of beautifully established and mature gardens.

A sweeping gravel avenue leads through expansive landscaped grounds to the front, while private gardens to sides and walled gardens to the rear provide a tranquil and sheltered outdoor retreat.

The original residence retains an abundance of period character and charm, with many fine Georgian features still intact.

Sympathetically extended in the late 1970s and again in the mid-1980s, the property now offers a generous and versatile living space extending to approximately 367 sq.m (3,950 sq.ft).

The accommodation comprises five elegant reception rooms that overlook the gardens, seven spacious bedrooms, and four bathrooms, providing ample space for both family living and entertaining. The scale and layout of the property offer exceptional flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyle needs.

The grounds are Zoned Residential under the current Galway City Development Plan 2023-2029. The residence is recorded under The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage Reg No. 30316001 and is identified as being of architectural interest.

A detached ancillary lodge further enhances the appeal, presenting possibility for additional accommodation or potential for a range of uses (offices, storage and games space).

The grounds offer exceptional privacy, shelter, and outstanding amenity space—an increasingly rare feature in such a prime urban setting. There are extensive lawns to front sides and rear with winding paths and interspersed with shrub and flower beds, mature hedgerows, beautiful trees and natural stone wall boundaries.

There are paved patios off the breakfast room and a raised patio to the rear. At 0.53 hectares(1.3 acres) there may be the potential to further develop the grounds.

Taylors Hill is Galway’s most sought-after residential locations, the property enjoys close proximity to the city centre, Salthill, the Promenade, University of Galway, and University Hospital Galway. A host of established schools, sporting amenities and services are within easy reach.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark residence of significant scale and character, with immense potential as a distinguished family home or for further development (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

Properties of this calibre and setting seldom come to the market.
