Description

Location

Annagh Lodge is situated in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland at the foot of the Arigna Hills on the borders of Counties Sligo, Roscommon and Leitrim, and in the heart of the nation's lake district. The renowned Lough Key Forest Park is nearby and forms part of the historic Rockingham Estate outside Boyle. The excellent fishing and pleasure lakes of Lough Allen (on the Shannon), Lough Arrow and Lough Key are all a short drive away and the thriving towns of Boyle and Carrick-on-Shannon are within 20km. The nearest airport is at Sligo and is only about 30km.

 

 

Annagh LodgeDating from c. 1800, Annagh Lodge was built by the Fraser family from Scotland and formed part of a vast wooded estate, a number of fine specimens still surrounding the house to this day. An attractive and manageable house in a lovely setting, Annagh Lodge has had many a mention in numerous interesting books written about the estate. The house sits in a unique setting where the Feorish meets the Camogue downstream from the beautiful Foyoges Bridge of seven arches, beside the main entrance. The river rushes under the bridge and into the estate, where a millrace feeds a former old mill wheel, next to which the current owners have installed a modern hydro-electric turbine supplying power to the property. The lands are a nice mixture of grassland and woodland, and 9 acres are planted in recent years with a good mix of specimen hardwoods and pines. The long wooded avenue opens to superb gardens with lawns, beds, shrubs, an attractive pergola, orchard and tall stands of timber.

 

 

 

The reception rooms are elegant, compact rooms with high ceilings and period details, while an attractive conservatory offers lovely views over the beautifully mature gardens. The entrance porch is a fine sunroom in itself and leads through the inner stair hall. A fine sized country kitchen has a range of timber units, an oil fired range and a spacious breakfast area. The are four bedrooms (master en suite), three of which are in the main house and one in an adjoining self contained apartment with kitchen and sitting room.

 

 

 

The Courtyard

Accessed by a rear door from the house, and with its own separate avenue to the road, is an immensely attractive stone-built courtyard with 2 lofted coach houses and a selection of stables and sheds. Full planning permission has been granted for conversion into 2 two-storey apartments, which will have their own access to the road, offering superb development potential.
