The winning feature in this three-bed bungalow at Drumcree, has to be the pergola which is stylish and spacious – and gives the feel of being out-of-doors.

However, that is just one feature of note in this house at Loughstown Holiday Village that auctioneers Sherry FitzGerald Davitt and Davitt are describing as “exceptional”.

Presented to the market in turn-key condition, it has a host of extras - zoned oil heating, new double glazed patio doors installed in 2025, insulated attic and walls that have been pumped. Nestled within the popular Loughstown Holiday Village which has had planning permission granted for residential use, it is superbly located within striking distance of sporting and leisure facilities including the Blue Flag Lake Lough Lene for water sport and fishing.

Entry is through an entrance hall which has double doors leading into the open plan kitchen/dining/living room, off which is found the pergola.

The three bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes and carpeted flooring, while the master has an ensuite. The bathroom is part tiled with wall light and a Creda wall heater.

In the kitchen/dining/ living room, considerable effort has gone into the design elements. The kitchen is fitted with cream units, and there is a kitchen island. A built-in storage arrangement with lights surrounding the solid fuel inset stove provides a lovely focal point in this elegantly finished room.

The ensuite in the master bedroom has a Triton T90S. Included in the sale are two ovens, the gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, blinds, curtains, light fittings and the fixtures and fittings.
