Located in a tranquil rural setting in the river Bandon valley, this well-proportioned and imposing former rectory was built in 1855 to serve St. Mary's Church, a short distance to the west. It has bright southerly aspects and a broad, five-bay entrance front, with generous accommodation laid out over three storeys. Set amongst almost 5 acres of wonderful mature gardens and grounds, the house has been sympathetically restored in recent years to a high standard and retains much of its period features and charm. It is in excellent condition and has been run in recent years as a successful country house guest business. Extending to some 650 sq m the accommodation includes two fine reception room, study and guest bedroom to the ground floor, with four further bedrooms and three bathrooms to the first floor.
