Set on about 55 acres of prime agricultural land on the Kildare/Wicklow border, The Old Rectory is an attractive, double-fronted Georgian home.
A sweeping tarmacadam avenue flanked by mature hedging on one side and post and rail fencing on the other leads up to an expansive parking area in front of the house. This recently renovated home is constructed in two storey over basement form to the front with three storeys at the back, and benefits from a newly replaced roof in 2025.
A set of steps ascend to the front door which opens into a welcoming, split-level entrance hall, to the right of which is the well-proportioned drawing room featuring a marble fireplace and inset stove and direct access to the garden. To the left of the entrance hall is the dining room, also featuring a marble fireplace. Down a flight of stairs there is a convenient backdoor entrance into the courtyard.

To the left is a guest WC and utility room, and to the right is the fully fitted south-facing kitchen with painted built-in cabinets, stone worktops, stone flooring and underfloor heating. An AGA completes the bright and airy kitchen space, and the adjoining dual aspect family room provides ample space for a dining table or use as a living / tv room. The living room features attractive French double doors which open out onto a south facing patio. There are five large double bedrooms on the first and second floors, offering views over the gardens and land.
The main bedroom is complimented by a large, well-appointed en-suite. The first floor also offers a luxurious family bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower cubicle. The upper floor accommodation is completed by two large landing areas offering a variety of additional possible uses such as for an open office area, reading nook, or conversion to an additional bathroom if so desired.

Finally at basement level, there is a boiler room with recently fitted oil fired boiler, and substantial amounts of storage. The Old Rectory has been tastefully and sympathetically upgraded and restored over the last 10-12 years, with new windows, insulation and heating installed amongst other work completed. Further living accommodation includes a self-contained one-bedroom guest house/mews.
