The aesthetically pleasing elevations are perfectly complemented by beautifully proportioned accommodation incorporating a wealth of appealing features, top quality finishes and stylish presentation all combining to create a most exquisite family home.

Formerly used as a Cottage Hospital during the Irish Famine and subsequently as the local Doctor's house with adjoining surgery this quite unique property is
offered for sale by Private Treaty as one lot and affords what may well prove to be a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity for a wide cross-section of discerning purchasers, including speculators, to purchase a truly outstanding property with the undoubted development potential just waiting to be maximised, if so desired.
