Kenneth Fox
A truly unique property has come on the market in one of Sligo’s most scenic and sought-after locations.
This thatched residence, located in Drumcliff near Glencar Lake and Waterfalls, blends timeless charm with all the conveniences of a modern A-rated home.
The detached family home, with an asking price of €695,000, sits on a beautifully maintained site surrounded by nature. The views here are breathtaking, with the Benbulben and Glencar mountains forming a dramatic backdrop.
The house itself is finished to an exceptional standard with a nod to traditional Irish craftsmanship.
The thatched roof, sash-style double glazed windows, and stone-flagged floors all contribute to a sense of heritage, while underfloor geothermal heating and quality insulation ensure comfort throughout the seasons.
The layout of the home is flexible and spacious. There are five large bedrooms in total, currently, two ground floor guest apartments have been set up with their own private access.
These spaces can easily be brought back into the main home if desired, offering a great option for extended family, visiting guests, or even potential rental income.
The entrance hall sets a welcoming tone with an open-plan layout and a fireplace. The living areas are filled with natural light and enjoy stunning view of the landscape.
The main kitchen and dining area is a space with stone floors and French doors that open out to the garden.
There is also a second kitchen and dining space, ideal for entertaining or as part of the separate apartment setup.
Each bedroom has been designed to maximise privacy and make the most of the surrounding scenery.
The master suite is a highlight with its private balcony looking out over the mountains, a walk-in wardrobe, and a feature fireplace.
The bathrooms are finished to a high standard, including freestanding baths and walk-in showers.
The grounds surrounding the house are just as impressive as the interior.
There is a gravel driveway with parking for multiple cars, a stone-walled patio for outdoor dining, a playhouse, a Steeltech shed, and a beautifully kept garden with various seating areas.
Drumcliff is known for its strong community feel, with local schools, shops, pubs, churches, and playing pitches all within easy reach. Sligo town is just a ten-minute drive away and the drive itself is one of the most scenic in the county.
This is a home that balances character with practicality. Viewings are strongly encouraged to fully appreciate everything that this home has to offer.
