Derrylahan

DNG Dorrian are delighted to present this exceptional A-rated contemporary coastal residence, occupying an elevated position overlooking Teelin Estuary, with sweeping views towards the dramatic Slieve League mountain range.

Individually designed and built to the current owners’ exact requirements, with particular attention to quality and finish, the property combines contemporary architecture, exceptional proportions and a high standard of energy-efficient construction. Extending to approximately 2,668 sq.ft., the accommodation is currently arranged as an exceptionally spacious two-bedroom residence. Both bedrooms are considerably larger than conventional proportions, creating an impressive sense of space. The scale and configuration of the house also offer excellent flexibility, with scope to accommodate four bedrooms through relatively minor internal alterations, if desired.

Internally, the emphasis is on space, natural light and modern comfort. The centrepiece is a beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen incorporating extensive fitted cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a comprehensive range of high-specification integrated appliances. A series of spacious and smaller, cosy living areas flows around the kitchen, creating a ground floor ideally suited to comfortable everyday living. Imported Spanish floor and bathroom tiles throughout the ground floor provide a practical finish that complements the contemporary interior, while engineered timber flooring upstairs adds warmth to the bedroom accommodation. Large expanses of glazing frame the surrounding landscape and make the most of the property’s elevated coastal setting and views towards Slieve League.

The specification is equally impressive. An air-to-water heating system, with underfloor heating on both levels, is complemented by charcoal-coloured uPVC triple-glazed windows and external doors. Together, these features contribute to the property’s excellent A-rated energy performance and provide a comfortable, efficient living environment throughout the year. Two stoves in the ground-floor living areas add further warmth and ambience during the colder months.

The residence stands on a substantial site extending to just under one acre, benefiting from dual road frontage and an attractive oak grove set below the house. The generous grounds provide an appealing sense of space and privacy while retaining an open aspect towards the estuary and surrounding mountains. Planning permission is also in place for a garage and additional utility space to complement the existing dwelling.

The setting is one of the property’s defining features. Positioned halfway between the picturesque and lively villages of Kilcar and Carrick, the residence is approximately a ten-minute walk from Doonan Beach. The coastline, Teelin Estuary and spectacular Slieve League landscape provide an impressive backdrop. Killybegs is approximately 15 minutes’ drive away and Donegal Town approximately 45 minutes, with Ardara and Glenties also easily accessible.

A substantial and highly adaptable modern home, this property combines A-rated efficiency, approximately 2,668 sq.ft. of accommodation and an outstanding coastal setting in one of south-west Donegal’s most scenic locations.
