Surrounded by open countryside and views across to the Corran Mountains, this bungalow is great for families or groups of friends who are either looking to relax in peace and quiet or explore the local area. Once inside the hallway you will notice the character of the timber floors and tiles which run throughout. This then leads to the good-sized sitting room which has plenty of comfy seating with a cosy woodburning stove to relax in front of after a day full of adventures. Next door is the bright and airy dining room with a lovely tiled floor which then leads into a small, compact kitchen which is well-equipped to prepare some great evening meals. The bungalow has four bedrooms, with the flexibility of different sized beds, and a family shower room. To the outside of the bungalow is a front lawned garden with plenty of space to enjoy for the kids or adults alike. To the rear and sides of the bungalow are open fields which will be filled with cows and sheep in the summer months. Corran View is in the village of Geevagh with its own local pub. The nearest village is Ballyfarnon with a good selection of shops and pubs to enjoy, along with a playground. Lough Arrow is great if you fancy a spot of fishing as well as Lough Key with its Forest Park and Adventure Centre for those more active. You may wish to visit Arigna with its mining experience or Kilronan Castle and Spa for a day of pampering, whichever takes your fancy. Head south east and visit Carrick-on-Shannon and north west will take you to Sligo, both filled with charm and character for you to soak up, while enjoying the local culture and history on offer and also a range of traditional Irish pubs and restaurants for you to sample.

About the location
BALLYFARNON, COUNTY ROSCOMMON
Sligo 20 miles; Carrick-on-Shannon 13 miles; Roscommon 37 miles.
Ballyfarnon is a small village located in the northern part of County Roscommon. Lying close to the border of County Sligo and County Leitrim, it has good links into both counties. The village is situated on the River Feorish at the foot of Arigna Mountain and has many popular lakes nearby for the keen fishermen amongst you. The old Arigna coal mines that overlook the village are now home to the Arigna Mining Experience which is well worth a visit. Kilronan Castle, dating from the 19th century, is nearby and is now a luxury 5* hotel and a popular wedding venue. Lough Allen situated on the River Shannon is a short drive away and for the more adventurous visit Lough Key with its forest park adventure centre. A short drive will take you on to the Wild Atlantic Way where this amazing scenic coastal drive with its dramatic coastal scenery awaits. For those looking for a slightly livelier scene a day trip to Sligo makes a great day out were you can sample the many shops, pubs and restaurants or discover the coast and beaches of this area (Strandhill and Rosses Point). Ballfarnon is an ideal location for an enjoyable trip to Ireland at any time.
