DESCRIPTION
The Old Rectory is a magnificent Georgian house, set on stunning mature grounds and extending to about 10 acres. Situated on the
fringe of the popular village of Kilmessan, the property enjoys all of the amenities that the village has to offer. Being surrounded by
beautiful mature trees offers a sense of privacy and security.
The house is approached through stone wall piers and iron gates which open to an attractive sweeping driveway, lined by stud
railing and fabulous mature trees to the front of the property with ample parking. The Old Rectory is a three-bay, two-storey, over
semi-basement house, beneath a hipped slated roof. The front entrance faces north, while the garden entrance faces south.
The exterior of the house includes prominent features such as roughcast rendered walls, timber sash windows with stone sills, a
segmental arched doorcase and stone steps with cast-iron railings.
The light-filled accommodation is of generous and elegant proportions, as shown on the accompanying plans. Extending to about
4,789 sq ft (445 sq m), it is well laid out for family living and entertaining. The present owners have undertaken a programme of
renovation and redecoration to create a family home with period features but suitable for modern-day living standards. Notable
internal features include shutters, cornicing, vaulted ceilings, architraves, decorated fireplaces and ceiling roses. The kitchen is
also fitted with an Aga cooker. A magnificent conservatory was added by the present owners and connects with an open plan sitting
/drawing room which is the hub of the house.
OUTBUILDINGS Coach House
Situated to the side of the house is a former coach house of traditional construction. Extending to about 2,045 sq ft (190 sq m), 190. sq m / 2,045 sq ft

of the coach house is zoned residential. (excluding stables)
GROUNDS
The house sits amidst wonderful mature gardens with many fine specimen trees and shrubs including a stunning mature copper
beech tree which is a notable feature. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and include magnificent flower beds, well-tended
hedges, a fruit garden and pond.
Two paddocks are situated either side of the driveway which are fenced off by post and rail. Both paddocks can be accessed
through gates off the driveway and provide grazing for livestock. There are also two smaller paddocks towards the back of the
