Riverdene

Riverdene is a pleasant detached house in Mountjoy on a working farm, Northern Ireland, offering off-road parking for multiple cars, far-reaching countryside views, and two inviting spaces for fireside evenings.

Arrive and take in the sense of space that surrounds the property, where sizeable gardens frame open fields and encourage slow mornings with a mug in hand and fresh air all around.

Inside, the kitchen/diner sets the tone for shared time together, with the Aga range oven bringing a rustic feel to meal prep, whether you’re laying out a long breakfast spread or gathering everyone for a hearty supper after a day outdoors.

The dining table is ready for lingering conversation, board games, and unhurried plans for tomorrow.

When the day winds down, choose your mood: the sitting room’s open fire creates a traditional hub for group evenings, while the separate snug with a woodburning stove offers a quieter corner for reading, chatting, or simply enjoying the glow.

Four well-sized bedrooms make it easy to suit a mix of guests, with a king-size room featuring an en-suite, alongside two doubles and a twin.

A generous family bathroom completes the layout, ideal for rinsing off after countryside walks and outdoor adventures.

With a shop and pub both nearby, day-to-day essentials are close, while the wider area is made for exploring.

Keen walkers can head for Gortin Glen Forest Park for woodland trails and that rewarding ‘top of the hill’ feeling.

For a family-friendly outing, the Ulster American Folk Park offers an engaging day of discovery, while history lovers can seek out Dun Uladh and Mountjoy Castle for a deeper sense of place.

However you spend your time, Riverdene in Mountjoy makes a handy base for a grounded countryside getaway.
