Detached home sits proudly on one-acre Promenade site

It’s not often that a detached house literally set on Salthill Promenade comes to the market.

But ‘Moyveela’ – located opposite the beach at Blackrock – has created a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a home on almost an acre with what is one of the most enviable views in the entire country on your doorstep.

The five-bed house was built in 1936, and at the time of construction, was one of only a handful of residences built overlooking the Prom.

A handsome two-storey residence with large well-proportioned rooms, it is full of character and original features, although it does require modernisation.

It is surrounded by mature gardens on a private site – blink and you’d miss it – comprising of 0.95 acres set back from the main road. It is accessed off the Prom by a hedge-lined avenue, which leads to the parking area to the front and sides.

Boundaries are well defined, with natural stone walls and a mix of mature trees, hedges and shrubs. The gardens are mainly lawns, with a large enclosed garden to the rear of the residence.

Moyveela has remained in the ownership of the current family since it was first built, and in it its time has served as a wonderful family home.

Colm O’Donnellan of O’Donnellan & Joyce Auctioneers, whic is joint selling agent with Sherry Fitzgerald, told Tribune Property: “With the scale of Moyveela, it will represent a landmark sale in the Galway residential property market as it will be the first sale of a significant residence along the Promenade.”

The asking price is €1.5 million. The BER Rating is F. For further information or to arrange a viewing, contact O’Donnellan & Joyce on 091 564212 or Sherry Fitzgerald on 091 569123.
