The fishing season is in full swing and two properties to satisfy keen anglers are for sale on the shores of Lough Mask, Co Galway.

Teac Sliabh is a three-bedroom bungalow close to the edge of the lake with uninterrupted views from the main reception rooms. Agent Matt O'Sullivan is quoting £250,000 for the house, which is on 1.5 acres of mature gardens and sheltered on the land-ward side by mature greenery. The house is private, set behind fuchsia hedges. Tourmakeady is a mile away and Clonbur about eight.

The bay-windowed sitting room/sun room has a ceramic tiled floor and feature black slate fireplace with a Yeoman stove. Glass doors lead to an open-plan dining room/ kitchen. This has a wood parquet floor and an unusual arched fireplace with a cast-iron, wood-burning stove. The kitchen cupboards are of solid timber.

All the bedrooms are double in size and have fitted wardrobes and wool carpets. There is no en suite, but the main bathroom is large and has a corner bath. Sliding doors from the sitting room/conservatory lead outside to a magnificent paved barbeque area with built-in timber seating and a barbeque.

In Clonbur, Spider's Bay Lodge, at Spider's Bay, is a three-bedroom bungalow-type property in a tranquil setting two miles from the village. Joint agents Helen Cassidy and Matt O'Sullivan are quoting £400,000 for the lodge, which has beautifully landscaped gardens and a lushly-wooded avenue leading down to the water's edge. The house is deceptively large and there is room for three additional rooms in the 700 sq ft attic, should space be a priority. A solid-fuel stove links in with the heating system and the rooms have fine, high ceilings.

The accommodation at Spider's Bay Lodge includes a hallway with guest cloakroom, large drawing room with a bay window, marble fireplace and double doors out to a paved terrace. The separate dining room has double doors to the kitchen. This has an arched brick recess housing a Franco Belge range and cupboards are custom-built. There is a breakfast area off the kitchen and a utility leading to the garden.

The three bedrooms are all double in size and with fitted wardrobes and the main room is en suite. A family bathroom has an over-bath shower.

Outside, the gardens are broken up by pathways, wooded areas and end at a stony beach on the lakeshore. Well-matured vegetation gives an almost tropical feel, with palms, evergreens and silver birch trees creating a sylvan backdrop to the lake.
