The Old Model Farm, Cleendargan, Ballinamore, Ireland

REA Brady are delighted to present to the market this architect designed bungalow which once formed part of the Model Farm on the outskirts of Ballinamore. This modernist home at Ballinamore Co. Leitrim was one of the first modernist buildings to be constructed in that area. Itâ??s life started with ambitious beginnings, the base for an impressive initiative to bring Irish Farming into the modern age in an era that marked the start of mechanisation of agriculture, the use of fertilizers, genetics for better breeding. As an indication of the importance and ambition of this work, Architects were commissioned to design this impressive building. This 1960's era was when orientation and the utilization of natural light became central. At the Model Farm, the staggered roof line with end to end windows facing west bringing light to the middle of this impressive building is a prime example of the style.

Move forward 60 years, the farm is now private, the building now a private residence, one that has been appreciated and enhanced by its current owners. Their eclectic style in this modernist space brings a cohesion and meeting of styles that complement and impress. Sitting on a site of c.0.61 of one acre space is in abundance the setting is mature and appropriate.

Within a short drive of 2.5km to Ballinamore and all its many amenties. This property is presented in excellent condition having been meticulously maintained by its current owners. It sits on a gently elevated site of 0.61 acres and has gardens to the front and rear. It is just off the Ballinamore to Enniskillen road and enjoys superb views over surrounding countryside and mountains. Its location is excellent with Enniskillen and Carrick on Shannon just a 25 minute drive away so you have the benefit of a countryside location but close to all nearby amenities. The property itself has ample space for the next owner to put their own stamp on it. It has very spacious rooms, high ceilings and the property has lots of windows so is full of light. It has a very spacious entrance hallway leading to a selection of rooms that could be used for office/studio space, a number of bedrooms and a fabulous open plan living dining and kitchen area with a wood fired stove at its heart in which to entertain.
