A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached city centre residence in one of Galway’s most scenic and sought-after waterfront locations. No.20 Riverside, Woodquay is a charming two-storey home superbly positioned at the very end of Riverside, enjoying commanding, uninterrupted views over the River Corrib and the iconic Salmon Weir. This unique setting places the property at the heart of Galway’s natural and cultural landscape, with Galway Cathedral, the Fisheries Field, riverside walkways, rowing clubs, and boat clubs forming a stunning and ever-changing foreground skyline.

The approved plans also include elevation alterations and the provision of a pitched roof to replace the existing flat roof, offering the opportunity to significantly enhance both the aesthetic appeal and internal layout of the home, while maximising its breathtaking river views.
The location is simply unrivalled. Situated in the heart of Woodquay, the property enjoys all the benefits of city centre living while being surrounded by natural beauty.
