Located close to Lough Keel, this 185sq m (1,990sq ft) timber-frame house was constructed 10 years ago and sits on a site of almost four acres with ponds, paddocks and animal shelters. Situated at the end of a private driveway, the three-bedroom property has a B2 Ber and a large garage that could be converted to further accommodation, subject to planning permission.
Plus: Lots of room and a good energy rating.
Minus: One of the ponds is deep so may need fencing off from small children.
