Seamus Carthy of Carthy and Associates in Castlerea is this week offering one of the most interesting properties in the county for sale. It’s an 18 th century monastery in Granlahan which was constructed in 1851. The property is for sale by tender and the deadline for tenders is noon on Friday, October 19 th . A guide price of €600,000 has been set. The charming building was restored in recent years and offers unlimited possibilities and potential. It boasts very spacious accommodation with tranquil surroundings, yet the property is located only a short distance from all vital amenities. The building, which operated as a monastery until the 1970s, consists of kitchen, studio, large porch, gallery, living room, bathroom, dressing room, four bedrooms (two en-suites) and chapel. The chapel is a delightful feature with its bright setting, double height ceiling, with a beautiful gallery and tall elegant windows, offering endless potential. The first floor bedrooms are generous in size with high ceilings and gothic style windows. The kitchen maintains its traditional charm with an open face solid fuel fireplace and oak surfaced worktop. Granlahan overlooks a vast level sweep stretching across Co. Roscommon and Co. Mayo boasting a majestic view of inland Connacht. The area boasts fine amenities including all schools, shops, pubs and restaurants. The area also benefits from one of the west of Ireland’s finest angling lakes. Lake O’Flynn is perhaps one of most recognisable trout fisheries in Ireland. The lake caters for different types of angling including fly fishing, dapping and even spinning. This impressive lake also boasts one of Ireland’s highest averages for rod catches. This building, stepped in charm and Irish history now looks forward to a new future. The property is very unique and must be seen to be appreciated. To arrange a viewing, contact Carthy & Associates, Castlerea on (094) 96 25990.
