Fair Deal Property, Galways Fastest Growing Estate Agency

Are delighted to present to you for sale Lanes End a most enchanting two storey original stone cottage located in a uniquely beautiful setting at the end of quiet country lane surrounded by the wonders of mother nature which is the very epitome of privacy and seclusion and yet is within a short commute of Galway City.

To even approach this dwelling gives rise to an emotional experience that at once warms the heart to what lies within. To live here must surely be to experience the soul of antiquity itself where masterfully thick stone walls insulate you in timeless comfort from the churning of the modern world.

In an era that appears relentless in its ever forward reaching, this home invites you to pause and to count your blessings by the warmth of the hot stone hearth

Originally constructed in 1908, this is a home like no other and can never be reproduced. For that reason alone its true value goes far beyond what can be described by monetary means. The past they say is a different country and if that be true this cottage must surely be a world onto itself.

The kind of home you yearn to return to no matter where your travels might bring you.

If these walls could speak they would welcome you home like an old friend and tell you epic stories by a warm turf fire and sooth you to contented sleep.

Stepping inside across the delightful porch threshold which is floored with artisan tiling leading to the dining room which forms the heart of the home.
Warmth fills the air from the wood burning stove which is framed on either side by wall-to-wall carpentry finished in striking Georgian green.

Under the stairs, an unexpected delight: a private little nook, cleverly carved out as a reading corner or home office.

On the opposing side of the house lies the living spaces which is currently arranged as a music room, its bespoke library shelving curating a small universe of books, instruments and memories. It is a space that invites creativity, somewhere that would feel just as natural filled with the quiet pluck of a guitar or the turning of a well-thumbed page.

And then, glowing like a morning sunrise, the kitchen appears to the rear of the home. Painted in a joyful sunburst yellow and bathed in natural light. A kitchen that feels as if it could lift your spirits even on the darkest winter morning. From here, a generous utility area extends the practical heart of the house offering an abundance of space for washing appliances.

A beautifully dressed stairwell leads upward, its walls adorned in rich 19th century tones and colours inspired by the surrounding landscape.

At the top, a bright landing spills into three intimate rooms. Two are bedrooms of spell binding comfort, each one warmed by bespoke carpentry and finished with both love and personality.

The third room, currently used as a bedroom, lends itself equally well as an office, studio or quiet retreat.

The bathroom is a celebration of classical elegance: traditional fixtures, thoughtful detailing and an unmistakable sense of continuity with the homes long and storied past.

Step outside, and the rest of the world seems to disappear. The cottage sits on approximately two acres. A private universe of whispering trees, drifting birdsong and utter tranquillity.

Outbuildings, weathered and wise, stand ready for reinvention. Workshops. Studios. Guest quarters. A place to create, to restore, to build. Some may even qualify for the Vacant & Derelict Property Grant, potentially offering up to 70,000 to help bring these forgotten structures back to life.

In truth talk of the potential for grants and practicality falls well short of capturing the soul of this extraordinary home. For this is so much more than property. It is presence. It is memory. It is emotion woven into stone.

If you have ever desired a dwelling that speaks to you truly speaks to you then this enchanting retreat may very well be the one that calls you home. And when you stand at its threshold, listening to the hush of nature and the crackle of the turf fire within, do not be surprised if every other alternative you have considered quietly slips from your mind.
