Set in a prime location with elevated views towards the River Erne, within walking distance of Enniskillen Town Centre and adjacent to Portora Gates, “Willoughby House” was constructed in the early to mid 1800’s by William Willoughby Cole to provide one of the town’s most prestigious examples of early Victorian architecture.  Arranged over 3 floors this Grade B1 listed property offers so much history.  Entered by its stepped entrance from Willoughby Place to a grand Entrance Hall, extensive interior and many original features, so thoughtfully retained by its current owners.  Hidden from view are an extensive range of outbuildings and in particular its 0.75 acre grounds including a perfect south facing garden surrounded by breath-taking maturity that provides something very special.  

It has been home to Crannog Antiques, a successful antiques business for the past 20 years, highlighting the commercial potential offered by this iconic property and further emphasised by its extensive range of outbuildings and spacious grounds.
