With its commanding views across the River Foyle, this two-storey home combines historical charm with modern living.

The former farm buildings adjacent to the Lodge offer significant development potential, including previous planning permission for conversion into 11 residential units.

In addition to Milltown Lodge, the property includes Milltown Upper, a modern three bedroom bungalow with unimpeded views of the River Foyle and surrounding countryside.
