Bridge Cottage, Darney,

We are pleased to present to the market, this exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a charming home located in a seldom-found waterfront position on the outskirts of Bruckless Village. Bridge Cottage is a former railway workers’ cottage constructed from traditional stone, featuring a block-built extension at the rear. It occupies a peaceful, secluded location with a magnificent view over Bruckless Bay and out to sea.

Situated on a stunning mature site spanning approximately 0.66 acres, the gardens surround the property and are intersected by the old Killybegs to Donegal Town railway line. The gardens also extend to include a triple-arched, Victorian-era bridge that provides pedestrian access to Bruckless House, an attractive 18th-century period home set within 18 acres of mature gardens.

The welcoming and cosy accommodation comprises of approximately 970 square feet and includes two reception rooms, a kitchen-diner, and four bedrooms. This property would serve excellently as a waterside residence, rural retreat, or holiday/second home, set in a picturesque and truly idyllic setting.
