Historical Asset Profile and Architectural Features
Originally constructed by Adam Algeo in 1870 and known as Edenville during the Edwardian period, Prospect House is noted on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage while remaining free of formal protected structure status. The ground floor contains three substantial reception rooms with 11-foot ceilings, original tiled hearths, and a large bay window with built-in seating overlooking the private grounds. A kitchen equipped with a Stanley Range, banquette seating, a utility area, and a ground floor shower room complete the primary living spaces. The upper level comprises five bedrooms divided across two wings, three of which feature en suite facilities alongside a main family bathroom.
The estate’s historical footprint includes the remnants of a Victorian glass conservatory that stood until 1986, when it was destroyed during Hurricane Charlie. The current owners acquired the property that same year, maintaining it as a private residence for nearly four decades. The grounds feature a gravel driveway equipped with an electric vehicle charging point, established gardens, mature planting, and an outdoor patio space.
Market Positioning and Regional Access
Positioned prominently along the N16 corridor connecting Sligo and Enniskillen, the property places local schools, retail amenities, and civic infrastructure within walking distance. The estate directly overlooks Bee Park, providing proximity to local soccer, tennis, and GAA facilities.
