This charming late 18th century cottage effortlessly blends historical charm with modern comfort. The Long Cottage is unusual and attractive, and part of it is of pre famine origin and possibly dating from the previous century. Over the years it has been extended quite considerably. The accomodation is versatile and adaptable - the present owners have arranged the house with three bedrooms and three sitting rooms but it could be arranged to have five bedrooms instead. One section of the house might suit AirBnB since it has its own bedroom with adjacent bathroom and an independent external door leading to the garden.

In the oldest part of the house with sash windows in deep reveals, there is a comfortable living room with stove in an open hearth and a cosy sitting room with a cast iron fireplace. The kitchen features an electric AGA and beautiful pitch pine flooring, making it perfect for both cooking and family gatherings. Above the kitchen is a loft space, currently a bright living space with it’s own access to outside. Beyond the kitchen area is a small conservatory which overlooks a beautiful and very private garden at the rear sunny side of the home. The garden is largely dominated by a large weeping Birch tree which is considered one of the finest specimens in the county. A substantial outbuilding offers endless possibilities, whether you need extra storage or a creative workspace.

Located in a very desirable part of County Armagh, The Long Cottage was once incorporated in the large estate of the Earl of Gosford, whose seat Gosford Castle is one of only two Norman revival castles on the island of Ireland. Today in different times the popular Gosford Forest Park beside Markethill is one of the many local attractions for visitors. Markethill Village, a mere 3 miles away, offers excellent local shopping and ten minutes away is the elegant Armagh City, Ireland’s ecclesiastical capital, with numerous attractions including a well known planetarium. Armagh is also the last resting place (beside the Church of Ireland Cathedral) of Ireland's very famous High King Brian Boru, who drove the Vikings out of Ireland at the battle of Clontarf near Dublin in the year 1014 AD.
