Description
The Old Church, Killotteran is a truly unique home where history and modernity blend seamlessly. With origins dating back to 612 AD and its current structure built in 1858, this property lay derelict until transformed into a private residence in 1997 by the current owners. In 2008, they expanded it with a modern zinc-clad extension, enhancing the living and entertaining space.
Upon entering the porch,the original mosaic-tiled aisle guides you through the living room to the dining area and elevated kitchen which formerly housed the church altar. Off the kitchen, the vestry is now a cold room/pantry. An open thread oak staircase ascends from the living room to the first floor, featuring three bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom includes a storage and dressing area with a recessed sleeping space.
A bright, floor-lit corridor connects the old and new sections of the building. The new extension includes a spacious sunroom which opens onto an outdoor deck. This section also contains a den, a guest bedroom with a walk-in closet, a bathroom, and a large utility room.
Throughout the home, numerous original features have been preserved, including mosaic floors, exposed oak A-frames, and some of the original diamond fenestration on the interior. New purlins were crafted from local douglas fir. The floors are made of pitch pine salvaged from the old Graves Hardware building, as is the fireplace beam. The kitchen is also constructed from pitch pine repurposed from the salvaged staircase of Graves Ltd. Upstairs, the floors are Irish larch, while the kitchen and new extension floors are Indonesian merbau.
