Perfect spot for bay watching

A HIGH location means this modern cottage overlooks Galway bay, even though it’s just outside Ennis, in Co Clare.

On the market with Colm Farrell of Sherry FitzGerald Farrell, this is a purchase that’s just that little bit different from the average and carries a price tag in the region of €350,000.

Externally, it has a huge site of 1.2 acres, enough for a scatter of children and a pony and, internally, it also comes with wide, open spaces.

Not a small house, it’s perfect for a family and would suit commuters to Ennis, Shannon or Limerick and offers the best of both worlds.

The living area is open plan and includes an overhead gallery with cathedral ceilings.

The floor of this kitchen/dining/living area is stone-slabbed (this is Clare after all) and there’s underfloor heating for that 21st century touch.

The high level of fitting continues with two en suite bedrooms: one on the ground floor and one overhead, along with two other bedrooms and a main bathroom.

The house, at Caher, is four miles from Crusheen village.
