The Old Rectory, Glebe,

Henry Kee & Son are delighted to present to the market this beautifully appointed former Rectory, occupying a private and peaceful setting just south of Killybegs town centre. This charming Georgian residence, dating from c.1830, is nestled within mature grounds extending to approximately 7.5 acres. Approached by a graceful driveway, the house extends to around 3,600 sq. ft. and has been lovingly maintained by its current owners. It retains much of its early architectural character, including timber sliding sash windows that diminish in scale toward the eaves - a hallmark of the Georgian style along with several original fireplaces. The entrance porch opens into a generous central hallway, leading to a formal Sitting Room on the left and a Living Room on the right. The ground floor also includes a Family Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Conservatory, Cloakroom with WC and a Laundry Room. Upstairs, there are six well-proportioned bedrooms (Guest bedroom includes ensuite shower room) and two bathrooms. Many of the rooms throughout enjoy dual aspects that allow for an abundance of natural light throughout the day creating a sense of comfort and openness. To the rear, an enclosed courtyard features original outbuilding, along with the remnants of a former walled garden and stable block, contributing to the property's rich character and sense of place. Located along the stunning Wild Atlantic Way, this exceptional property forms an integral part of the built heritage of the area, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of both historic significance and enduring charm.
