Price Comparison: What can I buy in Co Galway for under €400,000?

Athenry, Ballinasloe, Tuam and Doughiska are on the list, this week.

Two-bed, detached, Ballinasloe – €399,500

Beechlawn House is an elegant mid 19th century home that sits on about 1.3 acres in a prime Ballinasloe setting. Built around 1850 and formerly a Bianconi stagecoach stop, the property retains great period character, from its classically balanced single-storey façade and hipped slate roof to its ornate recessed porch with carved pilasters, stained-glass details and teardrop fanlight. Original six-over-six sash windows highlight the symmetry and charm of the home.

Inside, the rooms are bright and generously sized, complemented by an extension to the back. The mature grounds feature sweeping lawns, an apple orchard, original outbuildings, a 60 m² cabin and remnants of the historic stable area, now integrated for modern family living. Electric gates provide extra security.
