Aghanloo House is a charming detached and well-renowned historic residence located on a mature c.1.5 acre site in a picturesque rural setting at the foot of Benevenagh mountain taking in magnificent views of the Roe Valley towards the Sperrin Mountains, Lough Foyle and the Donegal Hills.

The property, a B1 Listed Building, constructed in the Georgian manner circa 1740s, was originally built by the Beresford Family as a Hunting Lodge and was extended in the late 1700s when the house was transferred to the local Rectory.

It changed hands a number of times in the years since and some of its rooms were used as a school for a period prior to the First World War.

Aghanloo House, which has five bedrooms and five receptions, has been meticulously restored to its former glory by the present owners, yet retains many of it’s original features.
