Cumberland Lodge & Milking Parlour on 1.24 Ha ( 3.07 Acres) approx

A Rare and Historic Country Residence on 3.07 Acres with Outbuildings and Development Potential

Nestled in the heart of the Donegal countryside and brought to the market for the first time in over 100 years, Cumberland Lodge is a truly exceptional offering. Dating back to 1627, this substantial two-storey stone-built farmhouse exudes timeless character and charm, while offering the scale, privacy, and potential that discerning buyers seek.

Extending to approx. 263 sq m (2,830 sq ft), the residence is set on 3.07 acres of mature grounds and includes a range of adjoining stone outbuildings, a milking parlour, and a slatted farm shed. With dual access from the N14 and L2644, the property enjoys excellent road connectivity while retaining a peaceful, rural setting just 5km from Lifford and 19km from Letterkenny.

The interior of Cumberland Lodge is generously proportioned, with large, light-filled rooms that reflect the home’s original grandeur. The ground floor comprises:
• A welcoming sitting room with traditional features
• A formal dining room ideal for entertaining
• A spacious country-style kitchen with ample room for family living
• A utility room and ground floor bathroom for added convenience
Upstairs, the first floor offers:
• Four large double bedrooms, each with countryside views
• A seperate WC & whb.
• Shower cubicle in the main bedroom, with potential to extend to a full ensuite.

The home has been sympathetically upgraded over time to include modern comforts while preserving its historic integrity.

Outbuildings and Land
A standout feature of this property is the range of adjoining stone outbuildings, which offer exciting potential for conversion or integration into the main residence (subject to planning permission). These structures could lend themselves to a variety of uses—from additional living space to home offices, studios, or guest accommodation.

To the side, the milking parlour and shed sit on 0.696 Ha (1.72 Acres), offering scope for agricultural use, equestrian facilities, or further development. The overall holding may also offer potential for one-off housing, subject to the necessary consents.

Location
Cumberland Lodge is ideally positioned to offer the best of both worlds: a tranquil rural lifestyle with easy access to larger towns and amenities. Located just off a quiet country road, the property is:
• 5km from Lifford – the county town and border gateway to Strabane and Northern Ireland
• 19km from Letterkenny – Donegal’s largest town, with schools, shopping, and healthcare
• Within easy reach of the N14, offering direct routes to Derry and beyond

A Home of Heritage and Possibility
Whether you’re seeking a forever family home, a heritage restoration project, or a unique rural retreat with development potential, Cumberland Lodge is a rare find. Its scale, setting, and provenance make it one of the most exciting properties to come to market in the region in recent years.
