Rich in charm and character, this magnificent family home stands on a generous, well maintained and mature site in the tranquil, peaceful area of Leckaun, only a 15-minute drive from Sligo town.
The property comes with a large, detached garage complete with a mezzanine at first floor.
Truly wonderful is the only way to properly describe this unique property. Originally rooted in a traditional stone building, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined and extended into a striking four-bedroom residence where craftsmanship and design work in harmony. From the moment you step inside, there is a sense of space and light, a home that reveals itself gradually, each room offering its own character and perspective. At its heart, the kitchen and dining space is truly special, a vaulted, cathedral-style ceiling draws the eye upward, while large windows invite natural light to move through the room from morning to evening. This is a space designed not just for living, but for gathering, a place where everyday moments feel considered and connected.
