Description

Rarely does a period property of such quality come to the market. Ideally located within a short stroll of the town centre, The Old Rectory is a wonderful, detached granite property with grandeur and scale befitting a landmark building such as this. Set within landscaped grounds extending to approx. 1.6 acres, there is the added benefit of a detached 2 bed coach house within the grounds. The history of the property dates back to a grant from King Henry VIII to the Duke of Ormond. Over time the land came into the hands of the Proby family (Earl of Carysfort) who conveyed the property and house to the Church of Ireland to be used as a Rectory for St. Saviours Church. Built from local granite in a similar style, the house is a 3 storey over garden level property with many features of the period including spacious rooms, high ceilings with ornate cornicing and original shutters on all windows. Wide Wicklow Granite steps lead to the front porch and upon entering this fine home, the scale and proportions will surely impress. Large, gracious reception rooms, five double bedrooms and a basement level with extensive storage and ancillary rooms allowing for the adaptation to further accommodation, there is ample space for all the family, the gardens are truly a delight, set well back from the road to afford the owners privacy and seclusion which is rarely found in such a central location. Exuding history and character at every turn, while offering unlimited potential to enjoy family life within the grounds of this stunning home, this is a rare opportunity to secure a heritage building in excellent condition.
