A stylish early 18th century east Donegal home on 1.6 acres has come on the market with a price tag of €440,000.
Finn Lodge spans 348.55 sq. m/3751 sq ft. and is located at the edge of Killygordon village.
The historic Finn Lodge, Killygordon, which has recently come on the market.
“Framing the approach into Killygordon from the west and occupying extensive mature grounds, this building is one of the more substantial nineteenth-century private houses still extant in the village, and it was probably originally built by someone of means and importance within the local community,” states the Buildings of Ireland website.
According to local information, it was formerly the residence of the Church of Ireland rector. It was later partially in use as a dispensary by a doctor. The substantial outbuilding to the south, which probably predates the house, may have been originally in use as a tannery.
It was most recently the home of the late merchant seaman, Jackie Noonan, and his wife, Maisie. Mrs Noonan, who passed away in 2021, was a fashion designer and tailoress and her style and influences are apparent all around the house.
Extensive renovations from the 1990s have preserved the property’s historical charm, while incorporating modern amenities.
Finn Lodge features two elegant reception rooms, a living room, sun room, dining room, two kitchens, six bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
“The configuration of the accommodation is perfectly suited for conversion into a main residence with an auxiliary unit, such as a self-contained granny flat or apartment,” states selling agent, Henry Kee & Son.
“The property’s proximity to amenities and echoes of a bygone era make it a compelling choice for those seeking the perfect blend of comfort and heritage”.
