This landmark home, extending to approximately 230 sq.m.

Rich in architectural heritage, Leitrim Lodge retains a remarkable collection of original features that have been carefully preserved over the years, creating a home of immense warmth, charm and authenticity. Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the impressive proportions and elegant detailing throughout. The house showcases many fine Victorian features including high ceilings, ornate coving and cornicing, original timber window shutters, and beautiful period fireplaces, all of which combine to create interiors of timeless appeal. Large windows flood the accommodation with natural light, enhancing the generous scale and grandeur of each room. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, comprising three elegant reception rooms, each enjoying excellent proportions and period character. These beautifully appointed rooms provide the perfect setting for formal entertaining, family gatherings or tranquil relaxation, with many enjoying attractive views towards the river and surrounding townscape. Original fireplaces serve as focal points within these reception spaces, while the decorative plasterwork further highlights the craftsmanship of the Victorian era.
