Description

Cuiltybar House, Coolaney, Co. Sligo 5 Bedroom Period House on 13.5 Acres Cuiltybar House is a beautiful classic Period residence dating back originally to the mid 18th century when it was built by the O'Hara family, who were the landlords of the era in this part of Co. Sligo. The house is located in a beautiful and secluded setting, just 2km from Coolaney village, and within 20km of Sligo town centre. Approached by a private 300m tarmac driveway through wrought iron gates, the house is a 2 storey over basement, and has residential accommodation of approx. 375m2. The present owner took occupancy approx. 30 years ago, and has carefully restored and maintained the house, while also adding some modern essentials without compromising any orginal features. The house still needs further upgrading and modernisation, and will be a true project for a new loving owner. The residential accommodation includes 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, seperate sitting, living dining rooms, while the basement area includes working kitchen, utility, laundry, storeage rooms, and office space. Various aspects from the house overlook south and east facing gardens, as well as a large tarmac courtyard which is bound on 2 sides by old stone-built stables which could have potential for residential re-development. The entire plot of 13.5 acres has approx 10 acres of 15-year old commercial native woodland, as well as dozens of mature trees planted in previous centuries. A period house of this nature rarely comes to the market in Co. Sligo or indeed in the West of Ireland, and the agent highly recommends viewings for those seeking a classic house with highly attractive secluded grounds.
