Built circa 1800, The Old White Farmhouse, Garryndruig, Timoleague, is a twostorey, four-bed property set in picturesque countryside that takes in sea views over Courtmacsherry Bay. The recent modernisation programme included re-roofing, re-wiring and re-plumbing of the main house, and the renovation of the separate barn as a selfcontained living space.

In addition, the two-horse stable block comes with planning permission for conversion to further bedroom accommodation if desired.

Many of the signature features of the traditional Irish period farmhouse give this home great character, including ceiling beams, big brick built fireplaces and a stone-paved courtyard framed by leafy climbers. The large comfortable living room has its original centre timber beam in the ceiling, Victorian tiled fireplace with slate hearth and a window seat.

In the kitchen, the country style is enhanced, again with a full beamed ceiling, terracotta tiled floor, and a green solid fuel cooker set into the brick chimneybreast which has a large timber mantel . . . just the place for displaying a collection of antique plates. The bespoke fitted kitchen includes a Belfast sink and a central island workstation.

Accommodation overall in the main farmhouse comprises the kitchen and living room, as described, a study, four bedrooms, a main bathroom and utility. In the barn conversion, there is an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, a double bedroom and bathroom.

The barn, is almost a smaller version of the main house, with features such as the beamed ceiling, and woodburning stove. A timber staircase leads to the open balcony where the bedroom is located.
