House in the frame
Just this week, a Roundstone Co Galway former coastguard house in this most scenic of settings went up for sale seeking €215,000, with open viewings planned for this weekend and next - but, after just one viewing, it has just gone ‘sale agreed’ at that sort of level.
Built in the 1830s, it is one of four similar houses built for coastguard families, albeit without great harbour or sea views. There are some bay views from the two smaller bedrooms, however.
