West Mayo Georgian property on the market for €1.39m

Riverside House is a substantial Georgian property located along the banks of the Black Oak River in Newport has been put on the market for €1.39 million.

This stunning residence which dates back to 1836 is located on the Castlebar Road and has been carefully restored and modernised in recent years, blending old-world charm with modern living.

Sherry Fitzgerald Crowley based in Westport have placed the property on the market with a price tag of €1.39 million.

This period residence boasts five bedrooms, landscaped mature gardens, a Coach House and Shepherd’s Hut which offers huge potential for a new owner with four of these unique rooms currently used by the vendors for their Guest House.

The main house has a total floor area of approximately 316.3 square metres over two floors. The house is filled with natural light enhancing original period features throughout, including ceiling cornicing with central rose, original doors, ornate marble and stone fireplaces, tessellated tiling in the entrance hall to name a few.

Exposed natural stone walls and wooden lintels in the dining room, kitchen and main bathroom are further examples of these features. These thoughtful nods to the past accentuate the history and beauty throughout the home. The living room is complemented by its high ceilings and dual-aspect double glazed sash windows framed by shutters, which feature in many of the rooms. The five bedrooms (two en-suite) are all bright and offer a mix of river and garden views. The current owners added the lobby/games room and the Orangery as additional guest space, utilising all the rooms in the property to their best potential.

The property sits on a site of approximately 2.25 acres, which courts the Black Oak River to the left hand side. The gardens are very private and offer numerous attractive features including a walled garden area, raised beds and many mature native tree species, to name but a few. The Courtyards have been designed with gravel paths and paving, making it an idea area to relax or entertain guests. Most of the garden to the side of the house gives plenty of space for play areas and includes a children’s playhouse, swings and slides. It is a perfect location to grow your own produce.

Other upgrades in recent time include three-phase electricity as well as 48 solar panels and a battery discreetly located on the grounds of the house as well as a super-fast electric car charger.
