Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

*we are now fully booked for August 2023*


Nestled in the greenery of the Northern Irish countryside, only 30 minutes from the coast for water sports and some of Ireland's finest golf courses, and within 45 minutes of the cities of Belfast and Derry/Londonderry, .our home offers an oasis of peace and comfort from which to explore Ireland.

Sitting on 1.7 acres of landscaped gardens, featuring the Aghadowey River, our home is 3650sqft in a peaceful rural setting

Environmentally sustainable ground sourced underfloor heating

Spacious modern and comfortable.

Has an open fire and a wood burning stove.

Large foodies kitchen with everything needed for some serious cooking.

Four bedrooms, three en suite

Courtyard with wood-store and twin garage.

Gym and kids den.

The kids area has a tv, PS5, xbox and nintendo switch.

There is a south facing decking area for entertaining, with garden couches, chairs, tables etc.

We also have seating by the river, and often set up our smoker/ bbq/pizza oven/firepit by the river for the evening. This is our favourite spot for a glass of wine as the sun goes down.

The river is known for it's fishing with trout and salmon running, and this in turn attracts the regular visitors of Herons, Kingfishers, Short Eared Owls, Mallard Ducks and Otters to our section of the river.

There is a large lawned area to the front of the property with a selection of mature trees and hedging and river views with plenty of room for children to run around and play. Our kids tend to have a trampoline out, along with volley ball net, netball hoop, swingball etc, so plenty for kids if needed.

The closest town is Garvagh, 4 miles away. It offers local shops, supermarket, bars, petrol stations etc.
