Description
A stunning end of terrace Georgian House overlooking the River Lennon to the North and manicured landscaped gardens to the south. Extended and lovingly renovated this property would make a very comfortable home.
HISTORY
The Mall comes to the market at a time when people are returning / moving to Ramelton from near and far. This beautiful home, which featured in House and Home magazine, was lovingly rebuilt, redecorated and restored by the current owners in the early 1990’s following a chimney fire in 1985. The house retains its originally period features but also has all the modern conveniences.
Steeped in history, the house was built in 1830 by James Love. It passed to James Malseed in 1880 and then to the Gamble family in the 1920’s where they ran a successful department store and renowned all over the north west. The shop was at the centre of the busy port where boats from Glasgow and Belfast docked. From the front of the house tickets to the New World were purchased and passengers took the tender from Ramelton Port directly in front of the house, to the steamer which cast anchor in Portsalon and onwards to the Titanic and other ships. Framed original tickets for the White Star Line hang proudly in the hall.
LOCATION
Ramelton is a vibrant market town with many new shops, coffee shops and restaurants having opened in the last few years and is well served by Whoriskey’s Spar shop. One National School is directly behind the house and the other a short distance away. The feeder buses for the secondary school leave from the front door. Gamble Square in front of the house is home to weekly fish and vegetable market stalls. A couple of times a year it hosts a gathering of vintage cars and there are often other remarkable dalliances such as once a horsebox with a small carriage drew up, the ramp was let down and a pack of huskies were attached to the carriage and taken for their daily exercise. Whether it is the bustle from Gamble Square or the ever-changing view of the River Lennon there will always be something to keep the new owners amused. Equally they can escape to the very private garden to the rear which used to be on the Donegal Garden Trail, and runs all the way to Tank Road. Letterkenny is within easy reach and the beaches at Rathmullan are only 15mins from Ramelton.
THE MALL, RAMELTON
Built in the early 1800’s this property has been stylishly renovated and modernised by its current owner. Through the front door there is a large, light filled lounge with open fire. Off the entrance hall is a study / home office and the hall leads to a new modern two storey extension with bedroom and ensuite above, designed by Tarla McGabhann Architect with feature grass roof. The Main House and the extension interconnect both at ground floor and first floor via the external decked veranda. The Main house has a further three bedrooms over two floors, a large drawing room, modern kitchen / dining room and bathroom which features a 19th Century bath and WC.
Outside there is a large two storey barn house which has electricity and water and was re-roofed in 1995 with potential for remote working or an Air BnB opportunity. The enclosed Courtyard is the ideal place for al fresco dining in the evening. For the garden enthusiasts, there is a large garden complete with cast iron Victorian style greenhouse, beyond the Barn. The garden is in four sections and leads gradually uphill to Tank Road from where it can be accessed via a wooden door. There are oodles of opportunity with this home.

Irene is also well known for her roadside sculpture called “Coracles”.
