River Cottage, Camp Street, Oughterard, Co. Galway.

Within walking distance of the village centre, this deceptively spacious five-bedroom property, which includes a contemporary extension attached to the existing dwelling, has been renovated to retain the period charm in a property of this age.

The property, which is situated on the banks of the Owenriff River, provides 2,150 square foot of well-balanced and well-proportioned accommodation. Internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate this beautiful property.

River Cottage dates back at least 160 years, and is believed to have been built to accommodate an officer of the barracks which was, at one time located in the cul-de-sac at the end of Camp Street.

The front part of the property is a two storey traditional stone cottage that has been renovated by the present owners. Works included restoring the timber sash windows, replacing the breathable lime plaster render and renewing the roof with reclaimed blue bangor slate.

The new extension is of a timber frame breathing wall construction with larch rainscreen cladding, clearly contemporary in its design and provides for a highly energy efficient construction.

This has resulted in a 30 per cent increase in energy efficiency to the standards currently set out in the building regulations. The house achieves a B2 BER energy rating. The link between the existing building and the new extension allows for the introduction of light into the depth of the plan of the house.
