Seaside stunner

Location, location, location doesn’t get much better than it does at Muckross, Donegal town.

This family home has panoramic views over Donegal Bay, St Ernan’s Island and Murvagh Golf Links. Its waterfront position is at the end of a peninsula with a small number of custom-built neighbouring properties. The 2.1-acre site has mature trees, fully landscaped gardens and plenty of parking. There is also a detached double garage. Donegal town is a 10minute walk away and offers good shopping and restaurants. It is also a hub for music and cultural gatherings.

The agents say that the house was built to a very high standard and has been tastefully decorated inside. The rooms have high ceilings and generous proportions and there is 325sqm of living space in total.

At ground-floor level, the front porch leads to the entrance hall, off which is the guest lavatory. There are three reception rooms on this floor. The sitting room has an attractive marble fireplace and a large bay window positioned to take advantage of the spectacular views. There is also a cosy living room with a cast iron fireplace and built-in shelving, and the dining room, which has a bay window with a built-in window seat. The kitchen/breakfast room has painted hardwood units and some integrated appliances and there is a separate utility room. There is an en suite bedroom on the ground floor, while upstairs there are three further bedrooms. One of these is en suite and there is also a family bathroom.

The property will appeal to many as a family home but could also make a fine holiday home as it’s ideally situated to take advantage of the local beaches and a wide range of sporting activities including worldclass surfing, fishing, scuba diving, golfing, horse riding and walking trails.

Donegal town is served by several national transport routes through Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann, linking it with Dublin, Sligo, and Belfast. Agent: Sherry FitzGerald McLoughlin (074) 972 4040
