The Old Parochial house, Speenogue, Burt, F93KC52

Superb 8 bedroom (6 ensuite) house with 500mb broadband,
gym, library and enchanting views over Burt, Inch Island and Lough Swilly.
Prestige, privacy, peacefulness and style are all in abundance in this house
with the added benefit of coexisting rural and city lives (Derry City – 5
miles, City of Derry Airport – 11 miles). It sits on around 1.1 acres of
beautiful landscaped gardens and uniquely bordered on one side by Burt Ancient
Woodland.

The Old Parochial House was originally built around 1853
with stone walls, it was refurbished and extended on either wing in 2007
including wiring, roofing, plumbing and efficiency upgrades. The current design
offers great character whilst retaining an original feeling throughout.
Measuring 359.6 sq m (3871 sq ft) the stand out B3 BER rating is testament to
the modernisation works.

Burt as a locality is a townland in the Inishowen Peninsula
in beautiful Co Donegal (labelled ‘coolest place on the planet’ National
Geographic) on the Derry-Donegal border. Donegal is home to some of Irelands
and Europe’s finest beaches and scenery and Burt is within short driving
distance from these amenities.  Derry
City is a university city with a vibrant social and cultural scene (former UK
city of culture). Both areas are steeped in sport, music, art and education, at
all levels. Burt is known as an upmarket area and is home to many prestigious
residents who work in Donegal, Derry or from home.

The property is easily accessible and sits in an elevated
position just off the main Derry – Letterkenny Road. It has a gated entrance up
a gently sloping gravel driveway with green grass gardens on either side. One
side has a patio for evening bbq’s and seasonal relaxing, with the other having
planting patches for growing. Parking is at the side with further gated access
to the back and land sloping upwards with the potential for future uses.

Inside takes great advantage of natural light with the south
east facing front. The entrance porch leads to a ground floor which makes
excellent use of space. The accommodation includes a formal dining room,
library, gym and bedroom (with ensuite) on one side and an elegant open plan
kitchen and family room on the other side. The downstairs accommodation is
completed by a play room/office, considerable utility room and shower room with
WC.

Upstairs has dual landings with the main having access to
the balcony and views over Lough Swilly. It has 5 ensuite bedrooms with the 7th
& 8th bedrooms having a shared 6th bathroom.  The many additional features are best
appreciated when viewing.
