A Ballybofey estate agents has confirmed the sale of one of Donegal’s oldest stately properties in East Donegal.
The sale Killygordon House, a 9-bedroom home which was built around 1780, was confirmed sold from an online post by the Henry Kee and Son Estate Agency.
Killygordon House, which went on sale with an asking price of €198,000, had a ‘sale agreed’ sign at the property last month.
A recent post from Henry Keen and Son Estate Agency stated: “We are delighted to announce that the sale of Killygordon House has now officially closed, marking the beginning of a new chapter for this remarkable piece of local history.
“Dating back to circa 1780, Killygordon House is a wonderful example of a period residence, with its many original features.
“Set on approximately 0.54 acres, this listed, protected structure has stood through generations and is now ready to be brought back to life.
“We would like to wish the new owners every happiness as they take on the exciting journey of restoring this special property and making it their own. We hope they enjoy many wonderful years there and create plenty of new memories within its historic walls.
“A sincere thank you to the sellers for trusting us with the sale of Killygordon House. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to represent such a unique property.
“Congratulations to the new owners, and all the very best for the future of Killygordon House.”
It was thought that the property was the home of a Captain Mansfield, part of the Mansfield family who are thought to have established Killygordon during the Plantation.
The estate, which was over 600 acres in size, was later the residence of a John S. Johnston in 1881, and a Patrick Bonner in 1894, with the house being described as “an integral element of the built heritage and social history of the local area.”
