Nestled between the vertical cliffs of Knocknarea mountain and the uninterrupted views of Ballisodare Bay, this charming, 200 years old two-storey cottage offers an opportunity to acquire a truly unique property. An outstanding location, offering spectacular panoramic views of Ballisodare Bay and the Ox Mountains from a mature garden with complete privacy from the road. The house retains a series of original features and has been carefully maintained over the years. The accommodation on the ground floor comprises of a welcoming entrance porch & hallway, compact well equipped kitchen, separate dining room with cooker & solid fuel stove, drawing room with French doors and large living room also with French doors, both leading to the garden with sea views, quiet office / reading room with wood panelling & bookshelves, utility room & a downstairs toilet/shower room. As you are ascending the staircase you enter a large open plan landing used as an office space/reading room that once was a bedroom and could easily be converted back again. Continuing along the landing is the bathroom with cast iron bath, followed by the main master bedroom with views across Ballisodare bay & the Ox Mountains. Up a second stairs at the back of the house leads you to another bedroom with access out onto a wooden balcony with stunning views of Knocknarea mountain. A natural stone wall entrance with traditional riveted gates & pea gravelled driveway creates a charming and private approach, leading you up to the residence. The mature gardens are a haven for wildlife & home to a great selection of trees including a Fig tree, Olive trees, Magnolia tree, Mimosa tree, Bay leaf tree, Apple trees, plum tree, Eucalyptus tree & magnificent Beech trees. The grounds are just truly special and also feature manicured lawns that wrap around the house where you can enjoy the sea & mountain views and beautifully planted and sustainably developed hobby garden with fishpond and a glasshouse, all providing a highly tranquil setting. Two features worth high-lightning are - the setting has a unique microclimate due to the heat-retaining cliffs of Knocknarea mountain just at the back, and the fact that it enjoys minimal light-pollution creating a great vantage point to clearly see the stars in the sky at night! To the rear of the site is a large double garage & a wooden animal shelter. The convenience of the location cannot be overstated, located just 2 km out of Strandhill village on the Culleenamore road with great amenities on your doorstep including one of Sligo’s most treasured sandy beaches and the popular attractions of Strandhill Village itself where amenities include primary school, shops, restaurants, pubs, churches, airport, and a variety of leisure facilities including sports clubs, renowned golf course and famed surfing beach.
