The Presbytery Peterswell Gort(185sqm) is a charming period property and is great value, as the selling price includes a two-bedroom converted coach house.
Built in the 1920s, the house retains all of its original features, including the encaustic tiles in the main hall and wonderful plasterwork over the 10ft high ceilings. The wide exterior walls and Vrogum windows fitted with brass pulleys add to its character. There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a kitchen-cum-dining area which opens on to a sunroom. Bay windows in the study, drawingroom and livingroom all look out on the large mature garden. The commute to Galway is 40 minutes but will be less when the motorway is complete.

Slieveroe Kilkerrin Ballinasloe(93sqm) is an example of one of the many houses on the market in Galway priced at substantially less than the cost of building a new house. An attractive stone-cut farmhouse with a large garden, it has panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. New owners may want to update the decor to suit their own taste. This house would be great for a small family looking for village life and ample space to raise a few chickens.

10 St Mary's Terrace Taylors Hill(204sqm) is an 1885 Victorian dwelling and something of a rarity, as few period houses come up for sale in locations such as Taylors Hill. The house has been completely refurbished to combine modern living with period grace, and retains many original features such as coving and fireplaces. There is plenty of space, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen and four reception rooms. The fifth bedroom is on the second floor and of generous dimensions. At 17m x 13m, it could easily be adapted for use as an office or cinema room. This property would be a dream home for many Galwegians.
