Thatching in the 21st Century
Thatched Houses today are considered an object of universal admiration. Derrymount is no exception to this. This charming, thatched residence has been lovingly cared for by the current owners ensuring this unique character feature enjoys longevity but bestows safety, by means of layered fireguards under the roofing and fire extinguishers on site. The property was rethatched c. 5 years ago which indicates c. 25 – 30 years remain of the lifespan for the thatch in situ according to current literature on thatched roofing lifespans.

Gardens and Grounds
Sitting on an elevated but sheltered site, Derrymount is a completely private enclave extending to approx. 11.68 ha (4.15 acres), that opens up to one of Ireland's most spectacular views over Lough Derg.

The house itself is reached via a driveway secured by electrified gates and an anti-ram bollard, leading to a gravel forecourt providing ample hard parking. The gravelled parking area to the front leads you to your front porch and a patio area which reaches around to the rear of the house, where one can enjoy the sunlight hours with far-reaching lake views. Further lawns and mature planting surround the house, where the landscaping also includes a feature wood carving from a storm felled 140 year old Ash tree, depicting a Tree Spirit.

Thatched Storage
Adjacent to the main house, you will find a large workshop, gym and storage area self-contained in a premium quality, thatched Log cabin. This two-level thatched garage on the grounds is currently in use as storage however, subject to the relevant planning permissions, this log cabin provides extraordinary scope and flexibility for a potential guest suite, staff quarters, or location for a home business.
