Co Galway/€1.85m: Buyers in the market for a romantic country home with development potential should make the trip to Loughrea in Co Galway to view Killinan House and The Glebe, two houses in a quiet country setting that are being sold together through Sherry FitzGerald Farrell at €1.85 million.

Located in the village of Kilchreest, which has a shop and a pub, the entire property extends to 10 acres with the main house set at the end of a tree-lined driveway with grounds leading down to a stream.

The Glebe is its former stables and both houses need extensive refurbishment, as do a number of additional farm buildings on the land.

Plenty of original features remain in the six-bedroom Killinan House which stands two-storey over basement. There are old timber floors throughout, tall sash windows and working fireplaces. The Glebe, which fronts onto the road, is a tall plain house and some renovations have been carried out in recent years.
