Description
A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN ONE OF LETTERKENNY'S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER SETTINGS — A SUBSTANTIAL FIVE-BEDROOM DETACHED RESIDENCE IN CORNAGILL, SET WITHIN A PRIVATE ENCLAVE OF JUST ELEVEN SUPERIOR DETACHED HOMES, WITH FAR-REACHING VIEWS OVER LOUGH SWILLY AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE.
Occupying a private and elevated position in the highly sought-after Cornagill area, this impressive detached family home is one of only eleven superior detached homes in this exclusive enclave, and enjoys uninterrupted views toward Lough Swilly, Letterkenny town centre and out across the surrounding countryside — with Letterkenny Golf Club just a two-minute drive away.
The property is accessed over a brick-paved driveway, with well-stocked flower beds and shrubs lining the approach and a low stone-clad feature wall leading up to the entrance porch. To the front, a large garden offers plenty of space for children to play, framed by mature Holly, Beech, Oak, Hawthorn and Maple trees, along with a Magnolia, bamboo, and Yew and Beech hedging that bring magnificent seasonal colour throughout the year. The garden is also home to apple trees, blackcurrant bushes and a plum tree, adding a productive and homely touch alongside the ornamental planting. Those enjoying alfresco dining from the patio can take in the same array of colour from the flower beds, together with views over the Lough Swilly and surrounding countryside. For the keen gardener, there is also a greenhouse with water supply and a vegetable plot that has yielded a wonderful crop of fruit and vegetables over the years. The gardens enjoy sun from morning through to evening, moving from the rear of the property, around to the front, and finally to the side — making the most of natural light throughout the day.
Inside, the accommodation is generous and versatile, arranged over two floors and finished throughout with a traditional, high-quality specification. A solid mahogany-style front door with decorative glazing opens to an entrance porch and hall with solid timber parquet-style flooring, setting a warm and welcoming tone. The reception rooms are a particular highlight: a bright sitting room with curved bay window and open fireplace with marble surround and hearth, and a formal dining room with dual-aspect windows and built-in book shelving — both finished with ceiling coving throughout.
The kitchen is a well-proportioned country-style space with generous wall and base units, ample counter and storage space, and a striking feature — an AGA oil-fired cooker alongside a separate electric oven, hob and dishwasher. A separate, spacious family room with stove fireplace and dining area completes the ground floor's principal living space, with a feature bay window taking in the same wonderful views over Lough Swilly towards Letterkenny.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a downstairs bedroom, a downstairs shower room, a utility room, and a garage with power and light, offering excellent additional storage or workshop potential.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a standout feature, with a curved bay window framing far-reaching views over the front garden towards Letterkenny Golf Club, Lough Swilly and the rolling countryside beyond. This generous suite is complemented by a private ensuite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. Four further bedrooms — one currently used as an office/playroom — together with a family bathroom, complete the first floor accommodation, with three of the bedrooms benefitting from useful eaves storage space.
Cornagill is one of Letterkenny's most desirable residential addresses, offering a rare combination of privacy, space and setting within easy reach of the town centre, schools and Letterkenny Golf Club. This is a home that will particularly suit a family looking to upsize into a substantial property with room to grow, in one of the area's finest private enclaves.
LOCATION
Cornagill enjoys an outstanding location, within a two-minute drive of Letterkenny's 18-hole golf course, with its modern clubhouse facilities including Hunter's Restaurant, offering both informal bar food and formal dining. Alcorn's Garden Centre, with its Thyme Out Restaurant, is within a 1015 minute walk, while Charlie's Farm Shop — with its honesty box — is also close by for those last-minute forgotten essentials.
The Silver Tassie Hotel, Kernan's Petrol Station and the historic village of Ramelton are a short drive away, along with the extensive shopping and leisure facilities of Letterkenny town, including Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Marks & Spencer, Menary's, TK Maxx and the Aura Leisure Centre. Woodlands National School, Educate Together and Ballyraine National School are all within the immediate surrounding area, making this an ideal setting for family life.
This superior residence is also perfectly placed to enjoy the natural amenities of the wider region, with the golden sandy beaches of Rathmullan and Ballymastocker / Portsalon on the Fanad Peninsula, and Downings and Rosapenna on the Rosguill Peninsula, both within easy driving distance — each peninsula forming part of the renowned Wild Atlantic Way.
