24 Claremont, Ballyforan, Co. Roscommon, H53 KC43

The end house is always the one people ask about and it's easy to see why.

No. 24 Claremont sits at the end of the row with open countryside behind, extra space to the side and a lovely sense of privacy that's hard to find in many modern developments.

With four bedrooms, a large sitting room and a kitchen/dining area that was made for busy family life, this is a house with plenty of room to spread out without ever feeling too big.

The kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Bright, spacious and full of natural light, it opens through sliding patio doors to a beautifully paved patio area that is just crying out for a barbecue, a coffee in the morning sun or a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, including three doubles, together with a Jack & Jill bathroom connecting to the main bedroom.

Built in 2006 and carrying a C1 BER rating, the house comes to the market in very good condition. It's bright, welcoming and ready for its next owners to move straight in and start enjoying it.

Ballyforan has become a popular choice for buyers who want village life without feeling cut off. Ballinasloe is just down the road, Athlone is an easy drive and Galway City is within commuting distance.

There are plenty of houses on the market. Very few have the combination of space, condition, location and outlook that No. 24 offers. The end house. The big kitchen. The fields behind. Sometimes the good ones are actually as good as they look.
