Known as ‘Clougheen’ it was used to house Clarks’ senior management and family until 1987 when the current owners acquired it and have since carried out an extensive yet sympathetic refurbishment to provide high standards of modern amenities whilst retaining all the original features and charm.

Most recently this includes a contemporary third floor roof space conversion designed by the award winning ‘McGarry Moon Architects’ to take the advantage of the views over the mature gardens and Kilrea lake to the rear.

The original coach house with pony and tack room has been rebuilt to provide a garage on one side and workshop with first floor storage on the other.

Clougheen occupies landscaped and mature grounds extending to circa half an acre and overlooking the lake to the rear. Indeed, the property benefits from an extensive garden mostly laid in lawn whilst there are various mature trees and hedge boundaries as well as numerous flower/shrub bed areas dotted around the dwelling and patio areas.
