Sonny's Place is a compact, two
bedroom, double storey, traditional terraced house; that can sleep up to
seven. (With the inclusion of a double sleeper couch.)
It lies unobtrusively in the middle of a row of homes that were probably
built originally in the late 19th century; and is situated in Maginn
Avenue.
The location, is very convenient, as
it right in Buncrana, just off the main street, and within close walking
distance to all the local amenities, shops, pubs, restaurants etc.
The holiday home has been extensively renovated and improved; with an
open plan ground floor area which includes a front lounge with a
traditional open fireplace, a dining area, and the kitchen, which is
partially screened.
The whole ground floor has been tiled with a marble like glazed ceramic
tile, which adds light and unifies the different spaces. There is also a
separate ground floor bedroom at the rear of the house via the kitchen,
and an under-the-stairs toilet and basin.
Upstairs, a small landing area separates a shower room and the upstairs
bedroom, which has a double bed and a single bed.
The house is double glazed and well
insulated for thermal efficiency; and electricity, oil fired central
heating, towels and bed linen are all included.
The rear of the property is south facing,
and has a small yard area, which would be
suitable as a patio area on sunny days. A service road at
the rear known as the 'Pound Lane', allows access to the rear of the house.
The holiday home could be ideally suited for individuals, couples, or
small families who may be visiting Buncrana, perhaps to meet with family
or friends, but need a centrally located space of their own.
In Buncrana, you will find a host of pubs, restaurants, a cinema, a
video hire, post office, hotels, places of worship, and various shops,
pharmacies, supermarkets and other retail outlets.
Walkers will have much to choose from, and there is a popular, paved
coastal walk which starts at the castle bridge, and follows the coast
along the eastern shores of Lough Swilly to Ned's Point, Porthaw, Fr.
Hegarty's Rock and Stragill.
Alternatively there is a shorter river walk along the banks of the Crana
River through the lovely wooded Swan Park.
The nearest blue flag status beach is at Lisfannon near Fahan, to the
south, with the White Strand, The Buncrana Shorefront, Porthaw, Stragill
and Linsfort, being other beaches within a short driving distance.
Golfers will be pleased to learn that their is the 9 hole Buncrana
Municipal Golf Course, and the North West Golf Club at Lisfannon not
much further away.
There is the famous two links course at Ballyliffin; only a twenty
minute drive away; while other nearby courses can be found at
Greencastle, Redcastle and Culmore in Derry.
