Keane Mahony Smith are delighted to present ‘Glenavon’, a distinctive period residence offering an exceptional combination of character, history, mature gardens and generous family accommodation.

Extending to approximately 205 sq.m / 2,207 sq.ft and standing on beautifully established grounds of approximately 0.32 hectares / 0.80 acres, Glenavon is a home of considerable charm and provenance, having been in the ownership of just two families since its construction between 1933 and 1935.

The original owner, a native of Woodquay, drew inspiration from the classical architecture of Galway City Courthouse, incorporating its distinctive columns into the design of the residence. Many of the original architectural details associated with the 1930s remain evident today, including elegant geometric glazing to the front windows and entrance porch. Together with the striking courthouse-inspired columns, these features give Glenavon a unique and immediately recognisable architectural identity.

Internally, the house is notable for its generous proportions and abundance of natural light. The ground-floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a spacious family room with dual-aspect windows and feature fireplace, and a large formal dining room, also benefiting from dual-aspect windows and a feature fireplace.

To the rear of the house is a cosy living room, a playroom with attractive bay window, kitchen with an oil stove, rear hallway and guest WC.

The first-floor accommodation comprises the main family bathroom and four generously proportioned bedrooms. The large rear bedroom benefits from its own private WC, while two further bedrooms are of similar proportions. The particularly impressive principal bedroom is exceptionally spacious, enjoying dual-aspect windows.

Throughout the house, the natural light, generous room proportions and surviving period details combine to retain the atmosphere and character of a bygone era while providing the space required for modern family living.

The grounds are undoubtedly one of Glenavon's most appealing features. Thoughtfully laid out from the outset and developed over successive decades, the mature gardens contain a wonderful variety of features including meandering pathways, a wishing well, ornamental pond, internal and external stone garden walls and colourful established planting.

The gardens provide an exceptional degree of privacy, colour and seasonal interest, while the orientation and layout allow the grounds to benefit from excellent sunlight from morning through to evening.

Since acquiring Glenavon, the current owners have carefully extended and enhanced the residence while remaining sympathetic to its original character. The grounds have also been further developed, including the conversion of part of the former vegetable garden into a full-size lawn tennis court – a particularly rare recreational amenity within such a mature and private residential setting.

The property enjoys an attractive rural setting while remaining exceptionally accessible to Galway City, Athenry and the principal employment centres on the eastern side of the city.

For families, there is an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools within convenient reach. Cregmore National School is less than 1 km away, with Lackagh National School approximately 5 km from the property. Secondary-level schools are available in Claregalway, approximately 8 km away and Athenry, approximately 13 km away with school bus services available to both second level schools.

Access to the M6 Motorway is approximately 11 km from the property, providing excellent connectivity towards Galway City, Athlone and the wider motorway network. Galway City Centre is approximately 18 km away, while Parkmore Business Park is approximately 12 km and the new Dexcom facility in Athenry approximately 13 km from the property.

A home of enduring character and distinction, Glenavon represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence where architectural heritage, mature private gardens and exceptional outdoor amenities combine to create a truly unique family home.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, proportions and setting of this wonderful property. For further information or to arrange a viewing, contact Keane Mahony Smith on 091 563744.
