Description
A property of this type is rarely available, retaining its original charm it has been lovingly cared for by six generations of the same family.
As traditional for a farmhouse of this period, downstairs is comprised of the parlour or sitting room with the warmth of its characteristic open fire, and a spacious dining room ideal for hosting guests. The downstairs bedroom is a double size room and the main bathroom is located alongside.
A fully fitted kitchen featuring solid wood units lead to a functional utility room.
Upstairs consists of two large double bedrooms, one of which includes an ensuite bathroom. The first floor windows benefit from views of sunrise over Sligo's iconic Benbulben mountain and extend as far as the Slieve League Cliffs in Co. Donegal.
Ballintean House offers exceptional privacy, sheltered by mature trees and hedging. The gardens feature a flourishing fruit orchard that produces generous annual harvests of apples and berries, along with a substantial vegetable plot. This space could easily be refreshed for home-growing, or reimagined as an additional lawn or a colourful wildflower garden.
The property sits within a traditional farmyard setting, complete with a long barn/stable block divided into four units-once home to animals during its working farm days-as well as a tractor shed. To the rear, the original 'haggart' provides further scope, whether to extend the gardens or create extra recreational space for family.
Both the barn and the shed are characterised by original stonework and represent a significant opportunity to convert their use into more contemporary purposes such as garden offices, music or games rooms
Whilst unquestionably the period character of the house is its prominent feature, the house also enjoys the comforts of modern day living. The house is now on the high-speed fibre broadband network, the central heating is controlled by a smart thermostat whilst the whole house benefits from recent rolled out attic insulation.
Surrounding the house is 16 acres of excellent quality agricultural land divided into 4 paddocks with great road frontage also available for sale.
House can be sold alone or option to purchase with an additional 16 acres of land.
The property is located approximately 5km from Enniscrone town with its spectacular sandy beach.
