A penthouse apartment in a classic Georgian house on the shores of Galway Bay is now on the market.

Boasting "breathtaking views from every window" according to the Galway Advertiser, the penthouse at Barna House covers the entire top floor of the restored building on around 30 acres of woodland and sweeping lawns beside Rusheen Bay.

Inside the property comprises an entrance hall with cream Travertine tiled floors, high ceilings and moulded cornices; a bedroom wing with two large double bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus an adjoining drawing room that could serve as a third bedroom; and a spacious living and dining area with an "unusually large" kitchen, fully fitted with high gloss light cream units and granite worktops complete with top-of-the-range Neff appliances and burnished walnut floors.

The Galway Advertiser has more details HERE on this "mint condition" property, which is available through James Heaslip at Property Partners Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard (Tel: 091 565261) with an AMV of €650,000.
