Thatched Cottage For Sale in Co. Leitrim

This period property, which may have been built in the early 18th century, enjoys a prominent position in the village adjacent to local amenities including cafe/shop, two pubs serving food, a marina with boats and waterside trails.

Originally constructed as an office and residence for the manager of the local Butter Market and weighbridge, it most probably formed part of the Lough Scur and Laheen Estate owned by the Peyton family.

The area is steeped in mythology, evolving history and significant archaeological sites and conveniently located just 14km from Carrick-on-Shannon, 11km to Leitrim Village, 9km to Drumshanbo and 13km from Ballinamore.

It would be an idyllic holiday home, artists retreat or short let accommodation for anyone exploring the many riches of this region.
