Elegant Late-Georgian Country Residence with Walled Garden and River Views

About the Property

An elegant late-Georgian country residence of distinction, Ballyarr House, was constructed in 1800 and is set on about 11.8 acres of mature parkland on the banks of the River Lennon in Ramelton, County Donegal. This property offers exceptional privacy and sweeping views across its own grounds, while remaining within easy reach of nearby towns. Architecturally notable for its triple gable-fronted façade, the house has been sensitively restored to celebrate its 18th-century character. Original sash windows with timber shutters, decorative cornicing, and a suite of period marble and slate fireplaces are complemented by seagrass flooring in principal rooms and bespoke radiator cabinetry. Modern amenities are discreetly integrated, including oil-fired central heating, solar hot water, and two solid-fuel stoves. The reception hall leads to a gracious, double-aspect drawing room and an impressive study/library, both designed to capture natural light and pastoral outlooks. A formal dining room and long conservatory add versatile living and entertaining space, while the kitchen/breakfast room features a Belfast sink, Welsh dressers, and glazed doors to the garden. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are served by two bathrooms, including a dual-aspect main bathroom with a roll-top bath and brassware. A mezzanine landing provides fitted bookshelves, hot press, ironing area, and an additional cloakroom/WC with loft access. Beneath the house, a full-footprint cellar, accessed both internally and externally, offers excellent storage and conversion potential, retaining original flooring and refurbished ceilings. Outbuildings: - Workshop with adjoining boiler room - Log store - Modern garage large enough for two cars and garden machinery The grounds are a defining feature, including sweeping lawns framed by mature trees, a beautiful walled garden enclosed by about 8-foot locally sourced stone, and a water meadow encircling a ring of ancient trees known as the Fairy Fort. Under a Forestry scheme, approximately 5,000 native deciduous trees have been planted, enriching biodiversity and seasonal interest. The holding is bordered by woodland and the River Lennon, with fishing rights enhancing the amenity. Price: €925,000 including fees (paid by the seller).
