The home, in Gort, Co Galway, is close to the childhood home of the famous Irish dramatist and co founder of the Abbey Theatre. Lady Gregory was said to have a love for the Coole Park area.
The area was also celebrated by Noble Prize-winning poet W.B. Yeats.

The property comes with two acres of its own land surrounding the house.
It is on the market for €295,000.
