The traditional three-bed cottage is all charm, from the whitewashed exterior walls and stone porch with colourful container pots, to an interior surprisingly modern but with traditional loft bedroom.

Renovated and well maintained by the current owners, the entrance is through the porch with tiled floor which opens directly into the living/dining room with open fireplace and the original sash window. Adjacent, a kitchen is bright with tiled counter tops.

The remaining two bedrooms and the bathroom are also on the ground floor.

Stairs lead directly from the living room to the large loft bedroom - a typical, period cottage feature.

The property is sheltered by mature trees and has a very private setting. Top hotels conveniently located to Lehanagh are the Zetland and Cashel House. Clifden and Roundstone are within a 15 minute drive. And this being Connemara, there is the simple pleasure of those bracing hill walks.
