The house is located in a secluded cul de sac just 1.25 miles from Westport town centre, one of Ireland's most beautiful and popular coastal towns, lively throughout the year with music, art and food festivals, sporting events, restaurants, bars and nightlife to enjoy year round.
Westport is based along the Wild Atlantic way on the shores of Clew Bay in Co. Mayo, offering a plethora of outdoor and cultural activities for all ages to enjoy.
Westport has been voted the ‘Best Place to Live’ in Ireland by The Irish Times. It's a designated Heritage Town and Clew Bay is said to have a island for every day of the year. It's an area of outstanding natural beauty, and the town itself is just 1km from the coast. In and around the town, is the Greenway, which uses disused railway to create peaceful and safe pathways for walking, cycling, sightseeing and enjoying the local scenery.
The English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray, visited Westport and wrote of the town:
"The most beautiful view I ever saw in the world. It forms an event in one's life to have seen that place so beautiful that is it, and so unlike other beauties that I know of. Were such beauties lying on English shores it would be a world's wonder perhaps, if it were on the Mediterranean or Baltic, English travellers would flock to it by hundreds, why not come and see it in Ireland!"
As one of Ireland's three planned towns, Westport boasts a huge array of activities and amenities for tourists and visitors all year round, and has a large selection of restaurants, pubs and nightlife to explore.
A consistent winner of the national tidy towns competition, Westport is truly a beautiful and interesting place to visit, earning it a long-standing reputation as one of Ireland's most popular tourist towns.
The town is just 5 miles from Ireland's Holy mountain Croagh Patrick standing some 2,500ft tall, and is within easy reach of several blue flag beaches, plus the famous Greenway to enjoy miles of walking, cycling and many other sports and adventure activities.
