This Leitrim cottage on the market for €199,000 has a vibrant and colourful interior

Overlooking Lough Allen in a peaceful rural setting, Largandill is a three-bedroom cottage that has had a stylish transformation at the hands of its current owners. Their background in fashion design is evident from the details put into the design in every room.

You enter the home into a hallway, with the living area to your right. Dual aspect windows give plenty of light, as well as views in multiple directions, and patterned wallpaper immediately adds colour and pattern to the space. A back-to-back stove between the hallway and living space adds character to both areas.

This leads through to the open plan kitchen and dining area, which feels fresh and modern with contrasting white and deep green units and a subway tile backsplash. From this space, French doors lead to the back garden. 

Each of the three bedrooms has been decorated with their own vibrant scheme, and the bathroom too has been given a refresh in smart black and white tones. The renovation also included a new boiler and rewiring. 

Situated on a plot of 1.5 acres, there is a generous amount of land around the home, including a small stream and an old stone building that was once a house, which has the potential to be converted or used for storage. 

Located 3km from Dowra and 6km from Drumshambo, whilst Carrick-on-Shannon is just 25 minutes away, this home strikes a balance between secluded living with easy access to nature with the convenience of local amenities. Nearby Lough Allen is popular with both water sports and fishing enthusiasts.
