A stunning Inishowen home boasting ten bedrooms and a rich history has just hit the market.
Kilderry House is an historic country house located in Muff and comes with an asking price of €825,000.
The house was built around 1770 by General George Vaughan Hart, a British Army officer who served during the American Revolution. Kilderry house remained in the Hart family for over 170 years until it was sold in 1944.
The Hart family, known for their prominence as landowners and benefactors in the area, also constructed the nearby Church of Ireland building in 1737.
The house is situated on approximately 10.60 acres of land and offers direct access to Lough Foyle, providing stunning views of the lough and the surrounding landscape.
The house is a spacious property, extending to approximately 503 square meters (5,416 square feet), with additional storage space in the basement.
It features notable architectural elements such as 3 mts / 10ft high ceilings, sliding sash windows with working shutters, large fireplaces, original dado rails, picture rails, cornicing and ceiling roses.
These original features have been well-preserved over the years, adding to the house’s charm and historical significance.
Although it has served as a private family residence for the past four decades, the venders say Kilderry House being on the edge of a busy village offers potential to be used for commercial purposes, such as a boutique hotel / wedding venue or to a sympathetic development / commercial business, subject to obtaining planning permission.
The property’s expansive gardens, extending to the front, side, and rear, offer a picturesque setting for various events and activities. The front garden is a well-maintained lawn with scattered trees, while the side garden features fruit trees including apple, pear, plum, and cherry.
