Have a look around - a Churchill house that would be the perfect fixer-upper

This could be your dream

Whitehill House, Carrowtrasna, Churchill

Social media is humming with photographs of derelict cottages that can be changed into your ultimate dream home. 

There are TV programmes on every station with lump hammer wielding home enthusiasts breaking through walls and showing us what can be achieved with a little imagination and some hard-earned cash. 

Donegal is home to a lot of cottages all spanning from different eras and times. 

However, this Churchill residence has buckets of potential, rarely does a property of such character and history come to the market in this county. Whitehill House dates back to the early 19th century.

Whitehill House, Carrowtrasna, Churchill has come onto the market priced at €175,000.

The layout remains largely unchanged due to its listed and protected status, with many of the original features still in place, sash windows and shutters, stone slab flooring, hairpin gates, lime render finish, original fireplaces and cobble flooring to the outsheds.

The Late Georgian residence dating back to circa 1820s and was primarily used as a residence and farm for the Marshal family, and is noted as being of regional importance in Donegal.
