An Gabha Dubh" which means "The Dipper" is named after a nesting Dipper family who are regular visitors to the property. The cottage measures c. 120 sq.m over 2 storeys with 2 living rooms, 3 bedrooms and a wonderful study/music room with panormic views overlooking the riverside. The property has many original features and would benefit from some modernisation and decorative work in keeping with it style and construction. The property has a fantastic history and may have originated from a 12th century church thought to have led to the name of the townland Killacloran (meaning Church of the stepping stones). It is thought to have been a Drover Toll house collecting tolls for river crossing prior to the construction of Coats Bridge. It also served as a local Shebeen, a fishing lodge and as a spectacular holiday home for an architect and his family who further extended the property in 1970`s. Outside this property is truly spectacular with c.3 acres of land along the riverbanks including 2 small islands. The current owners have extensively cleared and planned the garden which is planted with a wide variety of trees, shrubs and flowers including many rare specimen plants. A horticulturalist dream with winding walk-ways through the leafy woodlands and sunny seating areas to enjoy all the fantastic and ever-changing views along the river. An Gabha Dubh is also regularly visited by a variety of local wildlife including otters, pinemartens, red squirrels, deer and an ever changing variety of birds including a rare Gooseander duck that his made its home on the river.
