Sligo, Ireland $550,000
COUNTY SLIGO, IRELAND. A 19th Century detached stone cottage on the north-west coast where the natural charm of the landscape is made up of forests, lakes and mountains. Occupying an idyllic and captivating rural location, some 25 kms to the north of Sligo where the poet and Nobel Laureate, W B Yeats (1865 – 1935) spent much of his childhood and gained inspiration, the property lies inland from Mullaghmore in the shadow of Ben Bulben, the sheer profile of which has been said to dominate the landscape like no other place in the world.

Surrounded by countryside with, to the rear, the towering summit of Ben Wiskin (514 mtrs), the second most westerly highest in the Dartry Mountains, the cottage stands on its own in grounds of about One and a Quarter Acres, a short drive from Mullaghmore on the coast with Bunduff Strands and other sandy beaches.

Leisure facilities in the area are plentiful and varied to suit all tastes with golf, tennis, horse riding, flat and national hunt racing, yachting and boating, surfing, fresh water and deep sea fishing, climbing, walking, cycling, nature trails, cultural pursuits and many more.

Ideal as a permanent residence or holiday home, this fascinating period cottage stands central to its grounds which are bordered by a stream and there is an imposing gated entrance to the driveway approach. Having a rustic charm of its own with much exposed stonework in evidence, the accommodation within the cottage affords a delightful 26ft. (7.97m) living room encompassing sitting, dining and kitchen areas, the focal point of which is a tall recessed open fireplace to one end – whilst there are part-timbered ceilings, the central part of this room is open to the roof line and features a gallery landing. Also on the ground floor is a study bedroom and bathroom. A spiral staircase rises to the upper floor where the partly angled ceilings add a degree of cosiness to the two double bedrooms.

In addition to the cottage, there is a single storey barn, again of stone construction, adapted to provide an excellent 27ft. (8.23m) games or party (ceilidh) room featuring a striking part angled pine clad ceiling and having a pitch pine boarded floor – there is also an overspill room and an adjacent wash house. ...(more) (less)
