Donegal, Letterkenny, Ireland

Drumardagh House, Drumardagh, Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, F92R6CD.

Drumardagh (derived from the Irish ‘Droim Ardagh’) means “the ridge on the high place” and Drumardagh House remains true to this description with its exquisite setting, commanding breathtaking views over Lough Swilly, from Glenswilly to Inch Island and beyond to the Fanad and Inishowen peninsulae.

Approached by a gravel driveway and surrounded by beautifully maintained, professionally landscaped gardens, Drumardagh House enjoys a stunning setting and immense privacy. Built in 1986 and extensively refurbished to include triple glazed Rationel windows and doors and a new roof, this exceptional detached property enjoys an energy efficient BER of B2. The home is of split-level design on an elevated site which maximises the panoramic views, with almost every room in the house enjoying uninterrupted views of Lough Swilly and beyond.

The gardens are exceptional and there are three patios, all perfectly positioned to enjoy the sun at various stages of the day. There is also a generous sized balcony at first floor level, from which residents can enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the glorious vista. There are French doors from the drawing room onto this balcony and there is also access from the master bedroom suite to a second balcony located at first floor level.

Upon entering through a Georgian style front door complete with fanlight, the entrance hall immediately impresses with its lofty ceiling height, interesting arches and generous proportions. From here, there are French doors leading into the formal drawing room and access to the open plan kitchen cum dining room. The drawing room is complete with an open fire, ornate fire surround and cast iron and tiled insert. This room is drenched in natural light and there is a bay window framing the view, in addition to a fully glazed door providing access to the balcony.

They say that the heart of a home is the kitchen and Drumardagh House does not disappoint. The kitchen is luxuriously finished with painted in-frame kitchen units and is complete with a central island with sink, integrated Neff appliances, granite worktops, a gas hob and an oil-fired AGA. The open plan design of this room creates a family friendly kitchen cum dining room with seating area, all of which enjoys the spectacular views.
There is a lovely sunroom located off the kitchen cum dining room and this sunroom provides access to a spacious, south facing patio, finished in Liscannor stone and surrounded by mature flower beds and shrubbery.

There are three large double bedrooms at this level too, one of which is the master suite, complete with sumptuous ensuite. The family sized main bathroom at this level is also luxuriously finished and features a beautiful free-standing bath and separate shower.

There are stairs from the entrance lobby leading down to the lower level, where one will find a cozy lounge which enjoys access to an outside decking area. This room is complete with a wood burning stove and is finished in luxurious wooden panelling, which makes it an ideal space to retire to in the evening time. There are a further two bedrooms at this level, one of which is currently laid out as a nursery/playroom and the other is a large bedroom suite which enjoys a separate access. As a result, this room could be utilised as consulting rooms as it has been designed to incorporate a separate waiting area. The separate entrance to this suite is located adjacent to the integrated garage which is exceptionally large in size and also benefits from an additional storage area. There is also a spacious and well-equipped utility room located on the lower level.
