Irish cottage with connections to Liam and Noel Gallagher available for purchase
For €350,000 (£302,306), you can own a slice of history with the Irish cottage that belonged to Liam and Noel Gallagher’s grandmother, Margaret Sweeney, in Sonnagh, near Charlestown, County Mayo. Sweeney lived in the two-bedroom house for over 20 years until her passing in 2000. The Gallaghers’ mother, Peggy, originally hails from Mayo before settling in Burnage, Manchester, where Liam and Noel spent their formative years.
Noel Gallagher fondly reminisces about spending summer holidays in the Irish cottage as a child, recalling memories of picking blackberries to make jam, fetching water from the well, playing with farm animals, and enjoying family sing-alongs. The bungalow, extended by its current owner, features two bedrooms, an open-plan living and dining area with a stone fireplace, a fuel-burning stove, and a kitchen. The property also includes a large family bathroom, two bedrooms – one with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, all insulated for comfort.
The jewel of the property lies in its six acres of land, including a picturesque ‘Wonderwalk’ along the Sonnagh river, a natural spring, and the remnants of a former corn mill. This tranquil setting offers potential for holiday lettings or glamping pods with the appropriate planning permissions. The local community in Charlestown has a proud connection with the Gallagher brothers, with Liam’s recent shoutout to Mayo attracting cheers from fans at a Dublin concert earlier in the year.
The opportunity to own this piece of rock ‘n’ roll history is a unique chance to own a property of sentimental value to music fans worldwide, marking the spot where Liam and Noel Gallagher’s summers were filled with joy and laughter. Contact Leal Ignatius at Hamptons International to seize the chance to own a property enshrined in the lore of Oasis and the Gallagher family.
