We are delighted to present to the market a unique landmark Victorian residence, situated in a prominent position in Manorhamilton, County Leitrim. Offering a rare opportunity to acquire one of the best known historic homes in the county.

‘Prospect House’, is a distinguished detached Victorian residence, originally dating from circa 1870, occupying a prominent elevated position, on approximately 1 acre of mature private grounds at New Line, Manorhamilton, forming a defining gateway presence on the approach to town.

Whilst not a protected structure, the property is noted on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH). Presented in turnkey condition, ‘Prospect House’ retains many original period features throughout, with proportions rarely found in the modern market, boasting elegant reception rooms with ceilings extending to approximately 11 feet in height.

The property underwent substantial renovation and upgrading works in 1992/1993, including reroofing, rewiring and replumbing. Replacement sash windows were installed in the early 2000s, with further hard landscaping and exterior improvement works completed in recent years.

The property enjoys a highly convenient location within the town, overlooking Bee Park and its soccer, tennis and GAA facilities, while also being within walking distance of local schools, shops and amenities. The property further benefits from its prominent position along the N16 corridor linking Sligo and Enniskillen.
