Built in 1819, this former Rectory, known as Curraghmore House or Glebe House, is a timeless example of classical elegance and refined country living. Set amidst approximately 8 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this property combines graceful proportions, exceptional natural light and beautifully preserved original features with the comforts of modern living. The house has been extensively upgraded and refurbished over the years while carefully retaining its Regency character.

Complementing the main residence is an attractive courtyard setting comprising five courtyard cottages/apartments, along with an impressive range of functional outbuildings. Approached through impressive stone entrance gates, Curraghmore House is introduced by a long, sweeping driveway that meanders through mature trees, gradually revealing the elegance and scale of this fine Georgian estate.

The accommodation opens into a welcoming and charming hallway. From here, you enter the spacious living room featuring original pine flooring and a striking grey marble open fireplace with a cast iron insert. Tall sliding sash windows allow an abundance of natural light to fill the room, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. To the left of the entrance hall lies a generously proportioned drawing room, also finished with original pine flooring and an open marble fireplace. This room provides access to the Rector’s study, a quiet and well-appointed room ideal for use as a home office or library. Also located on the ground floor is a further study or bedroom, offering flexibility of use depending on requirements. To the rear of the property, a spacious sunroom providing a seamless connection to the one acre walled garden, features tiled flooring and full-height glass sliding doors that open directly out to the courtyard.

Descending to the lower ground floor, you are welcomed into a cosy reading area with an under-stair cloakroom, creating a warm and inviting retreat within the home. From here, access is provided to the large dual aspect and modern open-plan kitchen/lounge, a comfortable living space with a solid fuel stove. Located on this level is the breakfast room. There is also a utility room with tiled flooring. Completing the lower ground floor accommodation is a conveniently located family bathroom comprising a shower, W.C, and W.H.B.

The first floor accommodation comprises five generously proportioned bedrooms, four of which feature the original pine floors, built in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms.

Outside, the 8 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds offer exceptional privacy, tranquillity, and impressive views across the surrounding countryside. The estate is further enhanced by a superb range of functional outbuildings, including a three-bay hay barn (311.9 sq.m), three bay machinery shed (170.3 sq.m), large games room/gym (54.51 sq.m), and a boiler house (19.52 sq.m) with adjoining glasshouse (29.21 sq.m).

Properties like Curraghmore House are exceptionally rare, combining heritage, scale, and location in a way that appeals to discerning buyers seeking both character and space.

Courtyard Cottages
Externally, the property is further enhanced by an attractive courtyard where the stone outbuildings have been tastefully and sympathetically converted to four self-contained one-bedroom apartments together with a larger three-bedroom apartment, offering excellent versatility for Airbnb (full planning) or extended family living.

Each of the one-bedroom apartments features an open-plan kitchen/living area along with a spacious bedroom complete with an en-suite bathroom. The larger three-bedroom apartment comprises an open-plan kitchen/living space, a bright conservatory, and a ground-floor en-suite bedroom, while the first floor accommodates two additional bedrooms together with a shared bathroom.

All apartments benefit from oil-fired central heating and solid fuel stoves, ensuring comfortable accommodation throughout the year.
