Valeview House is a wonderful character filled home with out-buildings set on C. 4 acres in the most idyllic, rural and tranquil setting with uninterrupted panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Internally the property is presented in pristine condition maintained and decorated to an exceptional standard throughout . The light filled accommodation is well proportioned and briefly comprises of a porch, large living/dining room, kitchen with access to the large patio area to the rear, sitting room, three bedrooms and family bathroom.

Externally, this lovely home does not disappoint. A variety of mature trees border Valeview House providing privacy and security and there are breathtaking views from every part of the C.4 acres. The property is accessed by a sweeping driveway flanked by trees and there is plenty of secure parking on offer. A south facing patio area to the rear of the property captures the afternoon/evening sun and is the perfect spot for family dining or entertaining guests. The many outbuildings extend along one side of the patio area and further down the yard.

Valeview House was constructed around 1910 by The Office of Public Works. One of Ireland’s first ‘show homes’, it was built to demonstrate to the displaced population in the West what could be achieved were they to return from the poorer lands to which they had been confined for previous centuries. Reference to the 1911 census for Lissalway confirms the appearance of a first-class property in the townland post 1901. Indeed, the house has several striking features, not least its large sash windows; high ceilings; deep, cased doorways; and oversized doors. Situated on four acres, the property became known locally as the 'Tech House' and was utilised by an instructor who taught husbandry and kept an array of farm animals on site. Interestingly, the house has no turbary rights attached to it, a further indication that its original purpose was multi-faceted – built to ‘exemplify’ rather than serve as mere dwelling.

This property is very deceiving and must be viewed to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
