THE PROPRETYNo. 10 is one of the original six Victorian terrace houses on The Crescent built in 1837 at the start of Queen Victoria's reign. It was originally a seaside house overlooking Galway Bay although for those familiar with the area that is a fact that is hard to fathom, as in intervening 181 years much of what is now Salthill and White Strand was reclaimed from the sea. There are substantial mature gardens both front and rear offering privacy and shelter with both vehicular and pedestrian access to rear off Palmyra Avenue. There is a coach house that has more recently been used as a self contained guest house full of its own particular charm. The residence retains many of the features it was built with including tile and solid pine floors, high ceilings with decorative cornices, sash windows and shutters, marble and cast iron fireplaces including two particularly fine fireplaces that came from Count John McCormack's home. This property is a very welcoming and pleasant place that offers tranquillity and a calm feel of character. During the current owners time in this home they have sympathetically worked with the house to enhance its charm and character yet introducing contemporary services and facilities. The house has had a very interesting history with many special guests in its time including leading politicians of their day such as President Eamon De Valera and Tanaiste George Colley. The house was once owned by the Kenny family who at the time owned The Connacht Tribune newspaper. One of The Kenny girls Peggy is reported to have eloped with Walter Macken by exiting a rear window of No. 10. The sense of history is very evident when you visit this home and as the current owner states: If these walls could talk they would have some very interesting stories to tell. The gardens compliment the residence in that they are spacious, very private for urban gardens, offer maturity with stone wall boundaries, natural stone paving, detached coach house and very established trees, hedgerows, lawns and shrub beds. There are various sheltered corners that take full advantage of light and sun. It is with a heavy heart that the current owners have decided to pass this home to the next family for them to further enhance its time and develop its history. This property has been a very happy and true home for the current owners.LOCATIONThe Crescent is a well known landmark terrace in Galway situated at the foot of Taylor's Hill in a mature yet very convenient location within 10 minutes walk of the city centre, NUIG, UCHG, Salthill Village and The Promenade.
