A picturesque home within walking distance of Galway City, Lindisfarne is a spacious four-bedroom property with an enviable garden.
A beautiful detached residence in Galway, Lindisfarne is a wonderful home enveloped in greenery and with period and classical style influence. Modernised to accommodate 21st-century living, the property boasts an extensive living space with a private garden and rustic stream out back.
The interior is tastefully decorated with elegant features throughout. A pebble-stone driveway with ample off-street parking leads up to the front door which is hidden behind a border of lush greenery.
A welcoming entrance hall with checkerboard tiles greets you as you step inside. Originally built in the 1950s, the residence has been meticulously maintained by current owners and is reminiscent of a grand period-style home inspired by the Victorian era, Irish countryside and French provincial influences.
Reclaimed materials – including salvaged pitch-pine flooring and wide plan solid-oak sash windows and reclaimed Victorian doors – have been used throughout with great care and attention given to craftsmanship. Spanning approximately 291.12 sq.m over two stories, the ground floor is divided between large open-plan reception areas as well as smaller, private spaces.

The utility is adjacent, with built-in solid oak cupboards offering plenty of storage. Leading from this area is a self-contained space with its own modern en-suite and private entrance that offers use for a variety of options including a downstairs bedroom, home office or exercise room. To the front of the home is a small snug reception lounge with a Victorian fireplace.
Upstairs, the residence offers four superb bedrooms – two en-suite – as well as the main family bathroom. All rooms are spacious and bright with high vaulted ceilings, fireplace framing and solid oak flooring.
The master bedroom is particularly impressive with extensive accommodation, a walk-in wardrobe and a large modern en-suite with a separate bath and shower.
