42a Omagh Road

A distinctive country residence with exceptional grounds, substantial detached garaging and further development potential

Rose Cottage, Drumquin

Set on an elevated and exceptionally private site extending to just over one acre, Rose Cottage is a truly distinctive detached country residence, combining beautiful period-inspired detailing with generous accommodation, immaculate landscaped grounds and an impressive range of additional facilities.

Built in 2002, the approximately 2,500 sq ft residence has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, both inside and out. From the bespoke timber detailing and slate roof to the striking concrete cornice surrounds to each window, sliding sash-style UPVC windows and ornate architectural features, there is an exceptional level of attention to detail throughout.

The property enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding countryside while remaining remarkably convenient, situated just off the main road leading into Drumquin village. Despite its accessibility, the elevated position and mature grounds provide an excellent degree of peace, privacy and seclusion.

The accommodation itself is beautifully presented and ready for immediate occupation. Internally, the character of the exterior continues throughout, with solid timber doors and skirting, attractive fireplaces, feature stone flooring and carefully considered finishes complementing the traditional country style.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, where the attractive stone flooring immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. There are two exceptionally spacious reception rooms, each providing a different atmosphere, with one featuring an open fireplace and the other a wood-burning stove. Both rooms are finished with beautiful timber flooring and benefit from excellent proportions, with views over the surrounding countryside.

At the heart of the home is the impressive rustic solid timber kitchen, which is particularly well suited to the character of the property. The kitchen is spacious, practical and well laid out, incorporating a raised dining and living area which provides an ideal space for relaxing in front of the television or gathering around a large dining table.

Off the kitchen is a useful utility area, storage cupboard and downstairs WC, with the utility room incorporating fitted cabinetry and tiled finishes. A rear door provides direct access to the garages and grounds.

On the first floor are three excellent double bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in storage, together with a large family bathroom incorporating a bath and separate shower, as well as a useful hot press.

One of the property's most impressive features is the substantial detached garage building, extending to over 3,000 sq ft and constructed approximately three years ago to complement the exact specification and architectural style of the main residence.

The building is accessed through two electrically operated roller doors, together with a separate pedestrian entrance. Internally, the ground floor provides extensive secure garaging, workshop and storage space, making this an outstanding facility for a contractor, mechanic, tradesperson, collector or anyone requiring significant workspace away from the main residence.

There is also a dedicated studio-style room at ground-floor level which could provide an ideal home office, studio, salon or similar workspace, depending on the purchaser's requirements.

A staircase leads to an exceptionally large first-floor area extending the full length of the building. This space offers considerable flexibility and, subject to the necessary approvals, could potentially provide additional living accommodation separate from the main house. This could prove particularly attractive for an extended family member, guest accommodation or potentially as a future income-generating opportunity.

The detailing of the garage building is every bit as impressive as the main house, including a striking feature clock tower and bespoke timber fascia boards, ensuring the additional building sits naturally within the overall design of the property.

The grounds are a particular highlight, with the property occupying an elevated position surrounded by beautifully maintained lawns, mature landscaping and established gardens. The combination of the setting, privacy and open countryside views creates an exceptional outdoor environment.

Included within the sale is approximately half an acre of ground, currently utilised as a horse paddock. Of particular interest, this land has previously benefited from planning permission for a detached five-bedroom dwelling.

The owner has advised that foundations for the proposed dwelling were laid on the adjacent site and subsequently covered over, with Building Control consent/sign-off understood to have been provided in respect of the foundations. Purchasers should satisfy themselves in relation to the current planning and Building Control position and any requirements for recommencement of development.

This additional land therefore provides an exciting opportunity for the next owner, whether for an additional family residence, accommodation for a dependent relative, a future investment or simply as valuable private grounds.

Rose Cottage is difficult to categorise as simply a detached country home. It offers an unusually broad combination of substantial living accommodation, exceptional garages and workspace, potential additional accommodation and further development potential, all within a private countryside setting.

The scale of the detached building will be of particular interest to those running a business from home, contractors, tradespeople or purchasers requiring secure workshop, storage or vehicle accommodation. Equally, the potential to create additional accommodation within the first floor of the garage, together with the separate paddock and previous planning permission for a further dwelling, provides considerable flexibility for the future.

Beautifully maintained, exceptionally well specified and occupying a superb, elevated position just outside Drumquin, Rose Cottage is a unique property offering an outstanding combination of character, space, privacy and potential.
