Set in an enviable coastal position, 50 Moycraig Road offers a rare and versatile opportunity to acquire a characterful property with outstanding sea views stretching toward Donegal and The Causeway Headland, along with multiple dwellings and outbuildings providing excellent flexibility.

The main residence is a charming three‑bedroom cottage, enjoying an elevated outlook and enjoying coastal views across the counrtyside. The accommodation offers a warm, traditional feel, with well‑proportioned rooms and significant potential for further enhancement, making it ideal as a permanent family home or spacious coastal retreat.

In addition, the property benefits from a separate two‑bedroom cottage, which has previously been operated successfully as an Airbnb, presenting an excellent opportunity for rental income, guest accommodation, or multi‑generational living.

There are also three separate outbuildings, one of which has formerly been used as an art studio, highlighting the creative and lifestyle potential of the site. These buildings offer further scope for storage, workspace, or alternative uses (subject to any necessary approvals).

Planning permission had previously been granted for the conversion of an outbuilding adjacent to the main house into additional accommodation; while this permission has now lapsed, it demonstrates the development potential available to an incoming purchaser, subject to resubmission and approvals.

The setting is one of the property’s standout features — a peaceful rural location paired with breathtaking coastal scenery, yet within reach of local amenities and popular North Coast attractions.

This is a unique and highly versatile coastal offering, combining lifestyle appeal, income potential, and development opportunity. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and scope of what is on offer.
