Description

**Please note: Only cash offers will be considered for this property.** We are delighted to offer for sale Driftwood Cottage, a distinctive and character-filled holiday home where heritage charm is thoughtfully combined with contemporary design. The original stone-fronted section of the property once formed an outbuilding serving the adjoining period residence, which was sold separately in the late 1990s to the current owner. Steeped in local history, we understand the building was originally used as stables before later operating as a village hardware shop and was subsequently converted into residential accommodation sometime during the 1960s or 1970s. Over time, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced by the addition of a sleek timber-frame extension to the rear, incorporating four generously proportioned bedrooms and significantly increasing the overall accommodation. The current owners have carefully preserved the building's historical character while introducing the comforts and practicality required for modern living. The original stonework remains one of the property's defining features, reflecting the craftsmanship and traditional construction of an earlier era, while contrasting particularly well with the cleaner lines and contemporary finish of the later extension. The result is a highly individual home that successfully blends old and new. Driftwood Cottage occupies an attractive scenic setting within approximately a ten-minute walk of the beautiful Fintra Beach, offering an excellent base from which to enjoy the surrounding coastline and countryside. Despite its peaceful position, the property remains conveniently located within easy reach of both Killybegs and Kilcar, providing access to a wide range of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, recreational facilities and everyday amenities. Driftwood Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique coastal property with an interesting history, generous accommodation and an enviable location close to one of south-west Donegal's most attractive beaches. It should appeal equally as a holiday home, coastal retreat or permanent residence for those seeking a quieter pace of life. Please Note: Planning permission/documentation is not available in respect of the rear extension to the property. The property is being offered for sale in its existing condition and, having regard to the planning status of the extension, is being marketed on a cash-purchaser basis only. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the planning status of the property and to obtain their own independent legal and professional advice prior to making an offer.
