Glendarragh House, 43 Letterkenny Road, Derry, BT48

Description

Victorian Residence

Glendarragh House, stands proudly on a superb elevated site with panoramic views over the river, the City and the surrounding countryside. The property has been lovingly restored by the present owners and no expense has been spared in reinstating the property to the Italianata style in which it was constructed c. 1850.

The internal accommodation extends to over 5000 sq.ft. (over. 465 sq.m.) and each of the principle reception rooms has very pleasant south facing views. During the restoration great care was taken to retain the wonderful character and charm associated with a house of this period and there is much architectural detail throughout.

This is certainly one of the finest private homes to come on the market in the North West in recent times and genuinely interested parties are invited to view by private appointment.
The spacious entrance hallway features a magnificent central staircase with gallery style landing and the ceilings throughout the property are period height with decorative cornicing.

The large granite cobbled courtyard to the rear is enclosed by double carport, stores and garage and there is an interesting two storey outhouse which has been designed to incorporate additional living accommodation such as a self contained apartment / granny flat if required.

The extensive grounds are laid out in mature lawns with an abundance of mature plants, shrubs and trees. There is also a formal garden, a vegetable garden, a walled garden, a terrace with pergola and of course the enclosed cobbled courtyard.

The property is approached by a sweeping gravel driveway opening onto a large gravel forecourt in front of the dwelling and there is also a private entrance to the courtyard to the
rear.

** Oil fired central heating with under floor heating on the ground floor
** Alarm system installed
** Completely renovated in recent times to include roof, windows, plumbing, heating, wiring and Replastering
** 13 ft. High ceilings with decorative cornice and centrepieces
