MAGNIFICANT FORMER MANSE ON AN ELEVATED SITE, IN A BEAUTIFULLY LANSCAPED, MATURE SETTING
The Old Manse occupies an elevated position in a private setting with panoramic views of the incredible garden grounds, rolling countryside & the Strule River. The property is accessed off the Moyle Road via an alcove entrance with cast iron gates and four square piers with corniced caps and cusped gableted finials, offering a grand sense of arrival. Over the past two years the property has undergone refurbishment to the highest standard whilst maintaining the original features.
Constructed in 1901, the three-bay, two-storey manse is square on plan with full height canted bays to principal north and east elevations. The roof is hipped around a central valley, with natural slate and terracotta ridge and hip tiles. The property extends to 3,390 sq ft and offers well-proportioned and generous accommodation throughout, which has been set out on the accompanying plans.
The double door entrance with a semi-circular overlight leads through to a grand entrance hall with detailed cornicing and ceiling roses, and solid wood staircase with intricate spindles. A formal lounge is accessed off the hallway to the front of the property and features detailed ceiling cornicing and roses, an original white marble fireplace with gold detail and triple bay sash windows to the north elevation boasting an abundance of natural light. A snug and formal dining room are also accessed off the hallway, each featuring original fireplaces, ceiling cornicing and roses, with views of the garden grounds. A WC is also located on the ground floor with tongue and groove finishing.
To the rear of the property is the kitchen, which has been newly installed and features sage green floor and wall-mounted units with oak effect worktops, brushed brass hardware, and built-in appliances, including a range cooker. The kitchen leads through to the large conservatory area, offering the perfect entertaining space.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are accessed off the landing area to include the master bedroom with ensuite. There is an additional nursery/home office located on the first floor, and a main family bathroom with dual vanity units, a large shower & a freestanding bath. The bedrooms feature beautiful arched windows overlooking the garden grounds with an abundance of natural light.
To the rear of the property, a former two-storey coach house has been converted to an annex offering additional accommodation. The annex features a ground floor open plan kitchen/living and a bathroom, with two upstairs bedrooms and has been recently refurbished. This offers an excellent opportunity for income generation or as a granny flat.
Externally, the house sits northeast facing on an elevated site overlooking the tiered garden grounds and Strule River. The impressive garden grounds are a key feature of The Old Manse and boast an array of tree and plant species, various paths and seating areas and an ornamental pond. There is an abundance of parking to the front and side of the dwelling, as well as a two door garage with electric roller shutter doors.
