On the market for €635,000, the sale of Lennaght House includes a separate three-bed property, Clodiagh Cottage, which is ideal for use as guest accommodation, separate family accommodation or as a rental holiday home. Both residences date back to the 18th century and have been significantly refurbished to become charming family homes.
