Thatched Cottage, near Cong, Co. Mayo
Charming five bedroom thatched cottage deep in the heart of "Quiet Man" country on 1 acre

Deep in the heart of "Quiet Man" country, close to Ashford Castle and the dramatic beauty of Connemara, this fine newly built five bedroom thatched cottage with detached garage is presented in a charming traditional style with modern interior and multi fuel/woodburning stove for cozy nights in.

The property is situated on an acre of land, surrounded by historic stone walls. This is a beautiful location and a charming property. The house is a short distance away from the former summer home of Oscar Wilde, who spent many years coming to the area to enjoy the superb views and gentle atmosphere, as well as the proximity to Lough Corrib and Lough Mask, some of the finest fishing waters in Western Europe.

The property stands near the site of a prehistoric monument, Ballymagibbon Cairn, erected to commemorate the Battle of Moytura, which took place thousands of years ago between the ancient tribes of Ireland.

The accommodation includes: tiled entrance porch, hallway, sitting room with oak floor and wood burning stove, fully fitted kitchen in oak, Chinese slate tiles, tiled utility, rear exit, hot press off hallway, closet off hallway, fully tiled bathroom and three generous bedrooms (one en-suite) (all on the ground floor). On the first floor there are two further large bedrooms and a bathroom. The property is surrounded by mature trees with lawns leveled and seeded to front with stone, painted external and internal. The detached garage is also thatched and painted. This property is finished to a fine standard.

Price: €285,000
