The listing reads: 'Built from local granite with 50cm-thick walls, distinctive red brick and beach pebble detailing, this architectural treasure is truly one of a kind. Formerly home to Bishop Michael J. Browne who hosted Saint Pope John Paul II during his 1979 visit to Galway, Saint Anne's is a residence with a rich and storied past.
'Meticulously renovated with thoughtful elegance in 2015, Saint Anne's blends timeless character with modern comfort. Renovations included full rewiring, replumbing, and a new heating system, interior insulation, luxury bathrooms and bespoke double-glazed sash windows with full weather strips.

'Surrounded by Galway's top schools being only strolling distance away, the city's lively bars, restaurants, and cafés are also just a short distance away.
'Saint Anne's offers landscaped gardens with peaceful, sunlit spaces throughout the day ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying nature in complete seclusion. With electric gated entry, CCTV and monitored alarm, it offers a true sense of sanctuary. No passing traffic or footfall, enjoy absolute peace and privacy. Despite its centrality, Saint Anne's feels like a country retreat.
'Another special addition to main residence is the bespoke garage, built in 2016 using matching brick, this building is fully insulated and has its own electric supply.
'Saint Anne's is more than a house, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Galway's heritage, lovingly updated for modern living. Homes of this calibre and location seldom come to market. Viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the charm, space, and serenity on offer.'
