A garden like this – just minutes from Buncrana? Rare

A spacious 2,422 sq ft five-bedroom family home with a large level rear garden, all within easy walking distance of Buncrana town centre — a rare combination of space, privacy and convenience.

Presented by Brendan McGee at Franklins, this property was constructed in 1985.  The substantial detached residence offers generous and flexible accommodation ideally suited to young and growing families. The property is thoughtfully laid out to support modern family life, with well-balanced living and bedroom space throughout.

The ground floor benefits from two separate reception rooms, an increasingly sought-after feature for families with older children. This allows for distinct living areas — whether formal entertaining space for adults and a separate family room or media room for teenagers, the layout offers excellent versatility. The kitchen/dining area forms the heart of the home and is complemented by a separate utility room for everyday practicality. A ground floor bedroom and shower room provide further flexibility for guests, home working or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms together with a dedicated office, offering ideal work-from-home space or study areas for school-going children. The overall accommodation ensures the home can adapt as family needs evolve.

A standout feature of this property is the large, level rear garden — particularly rare for homes so close to Buncrana town centre. This expansive outdoor space provides a safe and secure environment for young children, excellent potential for outdoor dining and entertaining, and room for future landscaping or extension if desired.

To the front, a gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking. The location places schools, shops, sporting facilities and coastal amenities all within easy reach.

Grants may be available for the upgrading of windows and doors, offering purchasers an opportunity to enhance energy efficiency and modernise further.

This is an excellent opportunity to secure a spacious, well-located family home with outdoor space seldom found so close to town.

County Donegal’s second most populous town of Buncrana (pop. 6,971) is perched on the eastern shores of the glacial fjord of Lough Swilly and is the gateway to the wild and spectacular Inishowen peninsula. This historic town, nestled between mountains and sea on the Wild Atlantic Way boasts an excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars, cultural activities and annual festivals. With easy and regular bus connectivity, it is an ideal remote working location or commuter town to the employment hubs of Derry (26km) and Letterkenny (42 km).

Buncrana is home to three primary and three post primary schools including one through the medium of Irish.

There are few spots in Ireland more ideally situated to indulge in outdoor activities with some of Donegal’s most beautiful beaches, golf courses and coastal and hill walks right on your doorstep. The jewel in the crown is Lisfannon Blue Flag Beach with an impressive 5km of golden sand. A walk along the shoreline passes the ruins of the 14th century O’Doherty’s Keep Norman Castle, the impressive 18^th century Buncrana Castle and the picturesque six arched bridge across the river Crana. The shoreline trail weaves a further 6km along Buncrana Bay, passing the small coves and beaches of Lady’s Bay, Porthaw, Straghill and Linsfort with spectacular views out across Lough Swilly, which is said to have inspired the composition of Amazing Grace!

Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy a game at Ireland’s oldest 9 hole links course Buncrana Golf Club or on the equally historic 18-hole North West Golf Links while lovers of the water are spoiled for choice with a vast range of water sports on the River Crana and in the sea that surrounds the peninsula on three sides. For bird watchers, the paradise that is Inch Island beckons and if you venture a little deeper into the truly sublime Inishowen peninsula – often described as Ireland in miniature – you may well encounter bears and wolves enjoying a natural habitat at Wild Ireland and alpacas grazing the hills above Five Finger Stand, close to Ireland’s most northerly point of Malin Head.
