Set on a 1.5-acre site on the Rinnerroon peninsula overlooking Lough Corrib in Oughterard, Co Galway, this property is surrounded by natural woodland, and has its own private harbour.

Situated in an area known as the gateway to Connemara, Plas Corrib is five miles from Oughterard village, where there are shops, schools, restaurants and other local amenities.

Deceptively spacious, this bungalow stretches to 147sq m (1,600sq ft). The current owners undertook a major makeover project a few years back, redesigning the internal space and completely refurbishing throughout.

Extra windows were added to the bungalow, emphasising the natural light of the site. Pine flooring is laid throughout and windows combine a mix of pine and teak.

Just off the spacious hall is a large, bright open-plan living cum diningroom with kitchen integrated into the space. The living area is large enough for several sofas, and this entire room has wall-towall glass, with incredible views of the lake and countryside.

The dining area is another lovely bright area with great views, and just off here is a pretty painted wood kitchen, with solid wood worktops and quaint glazed presses and built-in plate rack.

Other accommodation includes a sun-room, four bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, one en-suite and a main bathroom.
