Lough Road, Milford, Co. Donegal

Sheelin is an impressive country home set on about 12 acres, offering exceptional privacy and a wonderfully natural country setting.

Built in 1953 and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, the property is approached by a long, treelined avenue that gently rises towards the house, framed by established hedging, colourful planting and around 2 acres of immaculate lawned gardens. Beyond the formal gardens, about 10 acres of mature woodland extend across the landscape, with views across the adjacent lake creating a striking natural backdrop.

The home presents as a classic dormer residence enhanced over the years by sympathetic modernisation. Internally, the accommodation is warm, welcoming and well proportioned, combining character details, such as decorative cornicing, feature fireplaces and timber joinery, with modern finishes, updated bathrooms and generous glazing that captures natural light and rolling countryside views.

The reception hall sets an immediate tone of space and elegance, leading to a sequence of bright, versatile rooms. The sitting room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, arranged around a feature fireplace and offers a refined setting for relaxation or entertaining. The kitchen/dining room provides a charming country feel, complete with a brick surround and stove, ideal for everyday living and family gatherings.

A standout feature of the property is the impressive sunroom. With a vaulted timber clad ceiling and floor to ceiling glazing, this beautiful space offers uninterrupted views across the gardens, woodland and nearby lake.

On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms, both benefiting from their own ensuite bathrooms. This area could be readily separated from the main house and, with independent access, offers excellent potential for use as a self contained granny flat, guest accommodation or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, there are four well proportioned bedrooms, providing further versatility for family living, guests or home working. The main bathroom has been fully upgraded with contemporary tiling, a sleek walk in shower and a freestanding bath.
