Description
“Lakeview” is a charming and spacious five-bedroom, five-bathroom detached bungalow set on an impressive 0.8 acres of mature, landscaped gardens, offering a rare blend of privacy, space and potential in a highly convenient yet tranquil setting. Built in 1972, this well-proportioned home extends to approximately 229.5 square metres (2,470 square feet), excluding the substantial garage which adds a further 59.6 square metres (642 square feet), making it an ideal property for growing families, those seeking multi-generational living, or buyers looking for additional workspace or storage. The property is ideally positioned along the old Westport to Castlebar road, now a quiet residential area with minimal passing traffic, while still enjoying excellent accessibility, being just 4 kilometres from Castlebar town centre, 12 kilometres from Westport, and only 500 metres from the N5 dual carriageway... On arrival, the property immediately impresses with its expansive lawns, mature trees and well-maintained grounds, creating a peaceful countryside atmosphere while remaining within easy reach of all amenities. Internally, the home offers generous accommodation throughout, with a welcoming entrance hallway featuring a stunning parquet floor that sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout the property. The main living areas are bright and spacious, with large windows allowing natural light to flood in and offering pleasant views over the surrounding gardens. A cosy living room with feature fireplace provides an inviting space to relax, while a separate dining room offers excellent potential for entertaining and family gatherings. The kitchen areas reflect the scale and flexibility of the home, with ample cabinetry and workspace, and direct access to the patio and garden beyond, making it ideal for both everyday living and outdoor dining during the warmer months. The layout also incorporates a self-contained granny flat, which is a standout feature of this property, offering independent living space that would suit extended family, guests, or even potential rental use, subject to the necessary permissions. This additional accommodation significantly enhances the versatility and long-term appeal of the home. In the main residence there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation with good natural light, along with four bathrooms that ensure practicality for busy households. While the interiors reflect the era in which the home was built, they have been well maintained over the years and present an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernise and personalise to their own taste, unlocking the full potential of this substantial residence. Externally, the property continues to impress with its large detached garage, providing extensive storage or workshop space, and offering further possibilities for conversion or alternative use. The surrounding gardens are a particular highlight, with expansive lawns ideal for family use, gardening enthusiasts or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The patio area provides a perfect spot for outdoor seating and entertaining, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces. “Lakeview” represents a unique opportunity to acquire a sizeable home with exceptional potential in a sought-after location that combines rural tranquillity with excellent connectivity. Its proximity to Castlebar and Westport ensures access to a wide range of amenities including schools, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, while the nearby N5 offers convenient routes for commuting. With its generous proportions, flexible layout including granny flat, large garage and beautiful site, this property will appeal to a broad range of buyers seeking space, privacy and the chance to create a truly special home.
