Description
Nestled in the centre of Athlone town, within c. 0.27 hectares (0.66 of an acre) of secluded grounds, stands this charming period property known as Court Devenish House and surrounded by a wealth of amenities. This grand residence offers excellent accommodation of approximately 464 sq. mts., (5,000) sq.ft. of bedrooms, reception rooms and a south facing conservatory. Court Devenish House was reportedly built c.1791 and is T-Shaped, with the entrance front two and a half storey with three bays over a low basement with a gable ended roof.In the grounds of the present Court Devenish House stands the ruin of a U-Shaped house built c.1620 by George Devenish, a Dublin merchant who leased the plot from the Crown. Only the facade and some inner walls now survive from the old house as the stones were used to build the present Court Devenish House. The front portion was preserved to form 'a garden feature' of the present house. There are several very fine mullioned and transformed windows which are in a good state of preservation, (they are probably the only examples of this type of window still surviving in Co. Westmeath. A carved stone, dated 1737 commemorating the marriage of a member of the Devenish family is set into the masonry.The property is heated via oil fired central heating and solid fuel feature fireplaces. BER is exempt as the property is a protected structure. On site there are mature gardens to include manicured lawns, shrubs and hedging, there is a detached garage (10m x 7m), to the rear and ample private parking is available on the gravel driveway.
While maintaining its original charm, the present Court Devenish House has been extensively renovated with many modern amenities to include, rewired throughout, CCTV, Fire Alarm, Security Alarm, Electric Gates, condenser boiler with new heating system and heat recovery, making it an ideal setting for private events, retreats, or as a residential gem.VIEWING STRICTLY BE APPOINTMENT ONLY:SHERRY FITZGERALD QUAIN
