Description
This five-bedroom Victorian house for sale in Leitrim sits on the historic Lough Rynn Estate, a short walk from Lough Rynn Castle.
Willow Lodge dates from around 1890 and stands on Lords Avenue, a tree-lined drive inside the estate. It has 265 m² of living space, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and private gardens on a plot of 3,490 m². The ground and first floors are in good order. The top floor is a project, and we say so plainly below.
The House: Double-Height Hall and Period Rooms
The front door opens into a hall that rises through two storeys, with a gallery landing on the first floor looking down into it. Cast-iron radiators and other period details have been kept, so the house still feels like a Victorian home rather than a renovation.
On the ground floor there are several reception rooms. You get a formal sitting room, a second dining area, the Blue Room with its French-inspired touches, and a snug with a traditional range cooker. The country-style kitchen has a separate walk-in larder and plenty of storage. Next to it, the dining area has French doors onto the private rear garden, which makes it an easy place to eat in summer with the doors open.
Upstairs, four bedrooms lead off the gallery. The principal suite has a walk-in wardrobe, a separate dressing or storage room, an ensuite bathroom and a large balcony over the mature estate grounds. A second double bedroom has its own ensuite, and the family bathroom has a freestanding cast-iron bath. The gallery itself is wide enough to work as a library, a home office or a reading corner.
The Second Floor: What Still Needs Doing
The top floor holds a bedroom, a shower room, storage areas and a light-filled studio or snug with a full-height bay window facing Lords Avenue. It currently has no heating or plumbing connections, so it needs works before anyone can use it. Any reconfiguration would be subject to the usual approvals.
For the right buyer that is useful room to grow. Guest accommodation, a studio, an office or a suite for visiting family are all possible. Get a builder's quote early so you can set the cost against the price.
Living on the Lough Rynn Estate
The house is surrounded by mature woodland, lakeside walks and landscaped grounds. Lough Rynn Castle, with its hotel and spa, is a short stroll away, so a drink or a spa afternoon needs no car. Beyond the estate this is quiet County Leitrim, one of the least crowded counties in Ireland. Expect mild, damp weather and green views.
Getting There: Mohill, Carrick-on-Shannon and Dublin
Mohill is only minutes away for shops and everyday errands. Carrick-on-Shannon, the busy town on the River Shannon, is about 15 minutes by car. Dublin is about 90 minutes away via the N4, and Dublin Airport is the main gateway for buyers flying in from abroad.
Buying a Second Home in Ireland
A 265 m² Victorian house needs looking after. Heating an older home through an Irish winter is a real running cost, and a house this size is easier to keep in good order if someone checks on it while you are away. As a second home in Ireland or a holiday home in Leitrim, it suits owners who want space for family and friends and a few quiet weeks each year in the countryside. If you plan to let it, ask a local solicitor about the rules first. Viewings go through the selling agent by appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the house ready to move into?
The ground and first floors are in good condition and fully usable. Only the second floor needs works, because it has no heating or plumbing connections yet.
How far is Willow Lodge from Dublin?
About 90 minutes by car via the N4. Carrick-on-Shannon is about 15 minutes away and Mohill only minutes.
Could the second floor become guest accommodation?
It already has a bedroom, a shower room, storage and a studio space, so the layout is there. You would need to add heating and plumbing, and any reconfiguration would be subject to approvals.
