"Content": "Standing proudly on Johns Mall overlooked by the great astronomer, William, the 3rd Earl of Rosse, Donal Boyd Auctioneers are delighted to bring this superb 6-bedroom Georgian residence to the market.\r\n\r\nPart of the beautiful streetscape of Johns Mall and set well back from the road behind feature wrought iron railings, this impressive two-storey over basement townhouse with integral carriage arch was built c.1820 and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished home on one of Birrs’ most prestigious and desirable addresses. \r\n\r\nJohn's Mall was created by Laurence 2nd Earl of Rosse to commemorate his beloved son John Clere Parsons who died tragically young of scarlet fever, in August 1828. The street retains its Georgian ambience of the early 1830's and this property is presented with so many of its authentic features intact. While sympathetically restored over the years, the property has retained a wealth of original features that preserves its early 19th century charm; the six over six sash windows, Georgian door with its half wheel spoked fanlight, carriage arch, high ceilings with ornate coving and cornices, and original window shutters, among others.\r\n\r\nAs you ascend the tooled limestone steps and enter the main hall, the first impression is one of light and space. The well-proportioned rooms and generous ceiling heights allow natural light to flow throughout, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.\r\n\r\nThe accommodation spans three levels and includes six large bedrooms and a selection of reception rooms ideal for both formal entertaining and comfortable family living. The basement level, recently dry lined, with own door access beneath the main front door, offers a fascinating insight into days gone by, featuring an original fireplace with open hearth and chimney crane, pantry, and additional rooms that could be further adapted and modernised for a variety of uses—be it a wine cellar, utility space, or separate addition living quarters (SPP).\r\nTo the rear, the property reveals one of its most exceptional features—a superb, private garden laid in lawn, bordered by a high stone wall and mature planting, including established trees, shrubs, and flowering beds. A sheltered courtyard area offers the perfect space for outdoor dining or relaxation, while garden sheds provide ample storage. Being only moments from the heart of Birr, this beautifully landscaped garden delivers a genuine sense of tranquillity and seclusion, more in keeping with the countryside than a central town setting.\r\n\r\nAccessed via the original carriage arch, the rear also benefits from off-street parking, further enhancing the practicality of this unique and captivating property.\r\n\r\nAll amenities—schools, shops, cafés, and the historic Birr Castle Demesne—are on your doorstep, and this is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Georgian elegance in one of Ireland’s most charming and historic towns."
