Description

College Road sits in the very heart of Letterkenny, directly overlooking St Eunan's football pitch, and within a few minutes' walk of the town's shops, schools, colleges and services. Despite its town-centre address, mature trees around the boundary give the outside space a real sense of privacy a rare combination of convenience and seclusion.Built in 1973 and extending to 249 sq m, (2,680 sq ft) approx, this five-bedroom, four reception, three bathroom detached home is arranged over two levels connected by a feature staircase, and offers considerably more space and flexibility than its exterior suggests.Set back from the road behind a sweeping tarmac driveway and manicured lawns, the property's distinctive architecture is immediately apparent from the front elevation; to the rear, the design comes into its own: the house steps down with the natural fall of the land, with the veranda cantilevered over a lower level finished in natural stone. This lower area provides sheltered covered parking/storage beneath a glass-balustraded balcony above a wonderful spot to take in those Cathedral views over morning coffee or evening drinks.The ground floor includes a large multi-purpose room that operated for some years as a commercial shop, and now could be used as a kids playroom/den, snooker / billiards room, home office, gym, or additional living space; It would also be possible to convert it to a self-contained apartment, subject to planning permission. There are a further two bedrooms on this level with a large, modern shower room, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, an independent space for older children, an elderly relative, or a self-contained home office. With its own separate access from the front garden, this level offers genuine flexibility that's hard to find in a town-centre property.A feature staircase leads up to the first floor, where the principal living accommodation unfolds: a large triple-aspect sitting room filled with light and views over the football pitch, and a separate living room that flows directly into a spacious kitchen/dining area the heart of the home and an excellent space for entertaining. A large utility room with wc and whb has direct access to the rear of the house, and off the utility is a secondary kitchen, along with stairs to a partially floored attic offering ample additional storage. Three further bedrooms complete this level, including a primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a luxurious separate bathroom with a large standalone shower cubicle.Outside, the property offers a useful storage shed, ample parking, and an inviting veranda where the mature, well-established trees create a private, sheltered spot to relax all just minutes on foot from everything Letterkenny has to offer. For a buyer who wants to hand back the car keys, this really is a walk-everywhere address.College Road is best suited to a family looking to upsize without leaving town, a multi-generational household needing separate but connected living space, or a buyer who wants to work from home in a dedicated, self-contained area. It will equally appeal to those who want to ditch the daily commute and car dependency altogether with schools, shops, cafs and Letterkenny's cultural life all within walking distance and to anyone eligible for the Living City Initiative's refurbishment incentives; this home falls within the boundary. With its versatile layout and generous kitchen/living space, it's a natural fit for families who love to entertain.For families specifically, the location is hard to beat: four primary schools and four secondary schools within the town, including St Eunan's College, Loreto Letterkenny and Scoil Mhuire Gan Sml, Scoil Colmcille, plus ATU's Letterkenny campus all within walking distance, along with the Letterkenny Shopping Centre, An Griann Theatre and the Regional Cultural Centre. Regular Bus ireann and private coach services connect the town to Dublin, Derry and Galway. The BER rating will aslo attract a Green Energy Mortgage Rate.Entrance hall 3.96m x 3.77m.
