The House
Clooncoe House is rich with history and dates back to the 1800s to the Clements family Earls of Leitrim. The house once served as the home for the stewards and estate managers of Lough Rynn Estate for two centuries.

A charmingly decorated entrance hall with classic Victorian tiling welcomes you into Clooncoe House. A front drawing room to the left has a dual aspect, looking on to the lawns and gardens. This space exudes elegance and could comfortably accommodate large parties. On the other side of the hall a door leads to an inner hallway.

Off this is the kitchen which holds a Stanley range, exposed ceiling beams and original flagstone flooring, creating a very homely and cosy family space.

At the end of the hallway is the magnificent formal dining room. This is a bright and light-filled space with solid wood flooring and large double doors providing a seamless transition onto the patio where one can enjoy views of the water and surrounding countryside.
