Porthaw Glen,

We are pleased to announce the sale of this unique 4-bedroom coastal property in Porthaw Glen, Buncrana. Built in 1986 and sold in 2023 it comes to the market again for genuine reasons and with the added benefit of having planning permission for a super extension (ref: 23/51173) which will bring the house to modern standard by switching the living area from downstairs to upstairs to take advantage of the beautiful sea views, adding more windows to take advantage of the views, making upstairs open plan, adding a covered terrace, external cladding and nearly doubling the size of the house from its current 157 sq m (1689.32 sq ft) to 298 sq m (3206 sq ft). The planning permission applies to all and not locals only.

 The entire areas to the front and south side of the site are designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) precluding any further development, thus ensuring the preservation of this beautiful habitat for wildlife and uninterrupted sea views for the owners.
