Drumboe Avenue, Stranorlar, Co. Donegal, F93FF89

Bungalow with self-contained unit on approx. 0.7 acre, on the far side of Drumboe Woods

New to the market with Franklins, this established bungalow, built in 1998 (28 years old), offers four or five bedrooms on a spacious plot of approx. 0.7 acre (0.29 hectares). It stands at Drumboe Lower, on the far side of Drumboe Woods, a leafy public walk along the River Finn with ancient trees and wildflowers, between Stranorlar and Ballybofey. The recently opened Drumboe Walkway restores the traditional link between Drumboe Lower and the woods. The former garage is a one-bedroom self-contained unit, so the property lends itself to use as one large home, two separate living spaces, or a combination of both. Outside, the garden and grounds combine lawned areas to the front and rear with a further uncultivated area to the side, with gated access. A concrete driveway, former stables, a log shed and a workshop complete the grounds. The flexible layout leaves the next owner free to shape it around their own needs.
