Description
"The Old Church", a former Church of Ireland building, designed by prominent Dublin architect Edward Henry Carson, converted to a private residence in 1997 and refurbished, extended and redecorated in 2015. This magnificent contemporary family home is a limestone building with buttresses, a vestry, a belfry, Gothic doorways, pointed arches, and a multitude of stained glass windows — both high pointed and multifoil rose-shaped.

A superbly converted Church with exceptional character offering wonderful family living with space and light throughout as a modern comfortable home. Accommodation includes entrance porch, hall, four reception rooms, five bedrooms, utility, four bathrooms.
