There are distant views towards Mulroy Bay and the local area has well stocked fishing lakes. Due for completion by next summer is the new Mulroy Bay bridge connecting Fanad to equally scenic Downings.

Ten-minutes drive away is the village of Kerrykeel and Fanad Head itself with its lighthouse perched at land's end. Accommodation is a welcoming mix of the old and new with a wood burning stove creating inviting warmth in the living room and a fully-fitted cream painted kitchen/breakfast room striking a contemporary note.

There is a separate dining room with double, glazed doors to the rear gardens.

Introducing the main reception rooms is the spacious hall with frosted glass inset pine door. The bathroom has both a corner bath and walk-in shower.

There are three bedrooms, all styled in pretty country fashion, two of which look towards the bay. All have tongue and groove ceiling panelling, enhancing the period origins of the house.

Outside is approximately one acre of grounds. The front drive sweeps up through neat lawns while to the rear is an al fresco dining area, further lawns, and a sheltering belt of mature trees and shrubs. There is also ample parking space to the front and rear. Letterkenny is within 30 minutes drive.
