Accommodation
Features
- This is an opportunity to acquire a substantial landmark property in the heart of Cavan town centre.
- The property is a detached three-bay two-storey former Methodist manse, built c.1875, with projecting central entrance bay and two-storey return to rear which is now in use as private residence.
- The owners have been conscious in retaining its original features that make it well known and attractive to Cavan's architecture, with cut limestone walls, pitched slate roof and original stained glass feature window to the front facade. The property also retains the original bell tower with steeple removed in the 1960's to also add to its historical charm.
- Although presently retained as a residential space the property has an abundance of potential to be converted to a commercial unit.
- The property is located along the busy commercial thoroughway known as Farnham Street opposite its junction with Townhall Street, with a prominent location.
- This exceptional location leaves the property within unrivalled proximity to all of Cavan's landmark buildings and amenities with Cavan's Main Street only a short walk away.
- Internally the property spaciously comprises of 175m² over 2 levels whilst still exposing the king-post trusses to interior ceiling with quatrefoils and mouchettes timbers.
- Designed by William Hague, this former Methodist church is one of an important group of buildings that form Farnham Street. The setting of the former church with its manse adjacent to the neighbouring Presbyterian buildings and the Masonic Hall is quite unusual.
- Like the Presbyterian church and manse, the Gothic Revival aspects of the design are in striking contrast to the symmetry and restrained detailing of the neo-Classical terracing and public buildings on the street. The craftsmanship of the stonework contributes to the aesthetic qualities of the street and is testament to local skills gone by.
- The building sits on a spacious 0.059ha / 0.147 acre site with expansive lawns to the front complete with private driveway to the side that leads to a small yard to the rear of the property.
- Hipped slate roofs with bracketed eaves, clay ridge tiles, stepped yellow brick chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Squared limestone walls with tooled limestone quoins and having limestone platbands to ground floor window head level and first floor sill level. Camber-arched window openings with limestone sills, yellow brick surrounds and one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to ground floor and two-over-two timber sliding sash windows to first floor, rear and side elevations.
