This three storey 1740s – 1790s house has been imaginatively and creatively restored. The property is built with magnificent period stone walls and enclosed by classical stone walls. In the 1930s to 2010 the house was the local village shop for everything, food to clothing, and traded as ‘Ryans’. The old shop front and interior have been preserved, making this an exceptional space for a home or new business.

The accommodation is laid out over three floors, each floor measuring approximately 90 sqm, with the back 1930s extension another 30 sqm.
The 4th floor has attic space with three Velux windows (to convert into four more rooms).

The house was re-roofed and timber work was replaced approximately 6 years ago. Features include Grande staircase, original doors, some window shuttering and casements. There are beautiful spacious rooms with high ceilings with some remaining plasterwork, along with flagged floors and outside an original stone coach house.

The current owners have transformed the house. The house is rewired, generously insulated and plumbed to European standard. All floorboards have been replaced. The three-storey staircase has been renovated and has new steps. There are nine fireplaces and the chimneys have been cleaned and relined with stainless steel flexi-flue. The chimney pots are in perfect order and the flues have been mended and bird-proofed. Six stoves have been installed with a 7th fireplace in the dining room being a Scandinavian design in iron. The windows are mainly double glazed.

A side access gate leads into an enclosed rear courtyard with an original stone coach house and cobbled yards. Behind the coach house is an enchanting secret paddock with glorious view of trees and the old church. A man-made canal follows the property boundary and ends at the half circle of old trees. The total site area that the house stands on is 0.75 of an acre. This is a house and village to love.

The property is a protected structure (ref no 14722009) and is therefore exempt from a BER cert.

The Horticultural Society links the house to Bellefield House, Shinrone. The renowned Cistercian College in Roscrea is a 5 min drive, Birr town is 16 mins and Dublin is 1 hour 40 min to the city centre.
