Substantial Period Property…

Franklins are delighted to introduce ‘Malin Hall’, a classic ‘Protected’ period property dating back to 1758.  Within easy walking distance to the picturesque village of Malin Co. Donegal the property is a detached four-bay, two-storey over basement house with a dormer attic. Extended around 1900 the property now offers an additional four-bay one and a half storey to the east with a single storey over basement to include a swimming pool (now disused) to the rear.  The layout of this property is best understood by viewing the floorplan which accompanies these property details. Some of the more important features of the home are the high ceilings, the original fireplaces and the original cornicing. To the outside the property comes with 5.31 acres and enjoys the most spectacular views over Trawbregga Bay.

The Connolly Foundation

Kathleen & Michael Connolly the former owners bought the entire Malin Hall estate back in 1970. Then with 100 acres the Connolly’s vision was to create a location where those in housing need could enjoy their twilight years in a warm secure environment. The foundation was formed following Kathleen’s untimely death in 1999 to make the vision a reality. It now offers independent living for the over 60’s in Malin, Co. Donegal to those in housing need and in particular welcomes applications from emigrants wanting to return to their native Ireland.

Malin Town is an interesting and unspoilt 17th century plantation village, picturesquely situated at the head of Trawbreaga Bay, Inishowen, Co Donegal and a great place to visit if you’re looking for things to do in Donegal. An interesting feature of the approach to the town is the bridge with its ten arches spanning the bay. It is the second largest stone bridge in Ireland. The original triangular village green is still intact, planted with limes, sycamore and cherries, and recently with oaks to commemorate the O’Doherty clan. All round the village are signs of the care that has won it many awards in the National Tidy Towns competition, including the much coveted overall prize in 1970. The Church of Ireland parish church has a fine three state battlemented tower with square pinnacles.
