Aisling, Knocknacarra Road, Knocknacarra, Galway, H91V9PN

5-acre site in one of Galway's most prestigious and tightly held residential enclaves on Knocknacarra Road. Lovingly maintained by its original owners for over 55 years, this cherished 1964 family home is an exceptional example of mid-century architecture, defined by its authentic structural character, distinct design integrity, and timeless charm. This unique property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home on an expansive site, situated within easy reach of Galway Bay along one of the city's most established residential roads.

Key Features & Internal Spaces The perfect welcome Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway showcasing original solid parquet flooring, setting a classic tone of craftsmanship that extends directly into the adjoining second, smaller reception room. The home's defining architectural feature makes its first internal appearance here: a solid, full-height Liscannor stone spine wall that rises through the core of the house, adding a beautiful natural texture to the space. Bright & Spacious Living This structural stone wall spans seamlessly into the large, dual-aspect main living room, anchoring the space with a striking mid-century open fireplace built directly into the masonry.

It is completed by a continuous solid timber mantelpiece, custom shelving, and an expansive hearth — all of which emphasize the room’s timeless character. Accommodation The architectural narrative continues upstairs, where the full-height Liscannor stone wall emerges as a beautiful feature in one of the bedrooms. The upper level offers four bedrooms, one family bathroom, and one ensuite.

External Spaces & Potential Impeccable Kerb Appeal The front of the property greets you with extensive off-street parking, a charming stone pathway, and beautifully manicured lawns with a stone fountain. The classic mid-century facade features the external face of the solid stone spine, rising as a prominent chimney breast that subtly introduces the home's unique design character before you even step through the door. Unrivalled Development & Extension Potential What truly sets Aisling apart is the extraordinary, multifaceted potential it offers to forward-thinking buyers.

5-acre linear plot that opens two incredible avenues for expansion: Option 1: The Ultimate Dream Home Extension The ground floor features an attached covered carport and adjoining utility/storage rooms. This space provides an immediate, seamless opportunity to convert or significantly extend the existing footprint of the main house (subject to planning permission) to create a larger open-plan kitchen and living zone. Option 2: A Bonus Second Dwelling (Site Potential) The expansive, deep rear garden boasts a highly desirable west-facing aspect and directly backs onto the established Carragh Hill development.

Strategic Advantage: Historical outline planning permission was previously granted in the 1980s for a separate dwelling at the rear of this plot. And with clear development precedence already visible on the immediate neighbour's property, this offers an unparalleled opportunity to build a completely independent second home with its own dedicated access onto Carragh Hill (Subject to the relevant planning permission). • Excellent Education: An outstanding choice of nearby schools within a 3-minute drive, including primary options like Scoil Éinde, Scoil Íde, and Scoil Róis, alongside top-tier secondary options Salerno Girls Secondary School and Coláiste Éinde (St.

• Coastal Trails: Within easy reach of the shores of Rusheen Bay, Silver Strand Beach, and the walking trails of Barna Woods. Aisling is far more than just a house; true to its name, it presents a rare dream and vision as large, detached properties on Knocknacarra Road seldom come to the market. This offers a unique opportunity to combine a classic mid-century family home with the distinct additional bonus of development potential for an additional home in a highly sought-after, mature area.
