CO MAYO:€1.75M IT'S RARE TO find a large period house (rather than a modern bungalow) in a seafront location in Co Mayo, but Shivdella House is just that.
The Victorian five-bedroom house is set on 4.4 acres of grounds sweeping down to the water, 2.5 miles from Westport town on the Louisburgh road.
Set at the end of a long tree-lined driveway, with most of its ground in front of the house, Shivdella has for many years been a holiday home and is now in need of extensive refurbishment.
It's likely that new owners will buy it as a permanent home, according to Peter Tuohy of Tuohy O'Toole who is handling the sale. The asking price is €1.75 million.
It's a sizeable house with 215sq m (2,320sq ft) of living space and a traditional layout with two fine reception rooms on either side of the wide hall.
Both rooms are double aspect with tall windows looking towards Clew Bay and Croagh Patrick.
Kitchen and store rooms at the back of the house need attention, while upstairs a series of large light-filled bedrooms could be charming.
There are two large bathrooms, one of them en suite.
A courtyard at the side of the house has room for a boat or two.
