Description

LOCATION
Oughterard is a charming small town situated on the shores of Lough Corrib, internationally renowned for its wild brown trout and salmon fishing while its sparkling Owenriff River meanders through the town, skirting the rear boundary of Grove Cottage, before flowing into Lough Corrib. Known as the “Gateway to Connemara", whose breathtaking scenery and raw beauty provides the best of outdoor leisure pursuits, including hill and mountain walking, cycling, swimming and water sports with Oughterard itself a walker's paradise.

DESCRIPTION
Grove Cottage, a family residence of considerable character and charm, is tucked away along a quiet and narrow road immediately to the rear of Oughterard's centre. Set amidst beautifully landscaped walled-in gardens and surrounded by mature broad leaf and spruce trees it enjoys a rare degree of seclusion.

Dating back to the 1950's, this conveniently situated cottage style residence has been lavishly upgraded and extended in recent years, culminating in a magnificently combined kitchen, dining and sun room, overlooking manicured gardens and spacious patio area. The superbly designed integrated kitchen with NEFF appliances and oil fired AGA will surely appeal to the kitchen aficionado and is perfect for family entertaining.
Three of the five tastefully decorated bedrooms and bathrooms are situated on the ground floor as is the attractive living room and separate music/study room.

GARDEN
Mature landscaped gardens both front and rear contain many exotic plants and shrubs. The very private rear garden is divided into three areas, nearest to the house is a large Liscannor stone patio area, manicured lawn and numerous species of flowering shrubs and colourful rose bushes. A green painted gate leads into a wall enclosed kids garden which in turn connects to the stone terraced !Owenriff River Garden! from where you can try your hand at salmon and trout fishing.

LOCATION/AMENITIES
Located just ¼ mile from Oughterard's main shopping street, Grove Cottage is convenient to all of the town's amenities and services. Just a short walk to excellent local schools, shops, library and community centre is a real bonus.

Recreational sports facilities include Oughterard's scenic walkways, fishing on renowned Lough Corrib, an excellent 18 hole golf course, swimming, horse riding and the magic of Connemara's wild and rugged landscape all contributing to an enviable life-style for its residence.

FISHING RIGHTS
Fishing rights over that section of the Owenriff River along the rear of the property are included in the sale while nearby is the spectacular river waterfall, where one can observe the salmon leaping their way up stream to spawning grounds.
