Bovagh House is one of Northern Ireland's Oldest and most beautiful homes. Set against a backdrop of lush green countryside the 18th century B1 listed residence retains all the hallmarks of Georgian architecture including an elegant uncluttered facade, restored sliding sash windows, a sunburst fan light over the entrance door, high corniced ceilings, and on the first floor a generous Venetian window.
The house was extensively restored and renovated in 2010 to include reroofing, rewiring and a high pressurized water system. The accommodation extends to circa 8000 sq ft with five reception rooms, eight bedrooms, two with ensuite bathrooms and two further bathrooms and a shower room.
Outside the gardens are laid in lawn with a wide variety of specimen trees. There is a courtyard to the rear with a range of outbuildings to include a two storey coach house and an array of outhouses. The tranquil setting in 35 acres of land include the opportunity for walks to explore through the woods alongside the River Agivey with all its natural beauty and wildlife.
