Description

The Manse Charming Period Residence with Disused Church & Extensive Grounds Sherry FitzGerald John Rohan are delighted to present The Manse, an impressive period residence dating from circa 1843, together with an adjoining former church building dating from circa 1845. Set on an impressive c. 1.75-acre site, The Manse offers a rare combination of period character, generous accommodation, extensive grounds and significant development potential. The property occupies a superb position in the heart of the village of Portlaw, while the mature landscaped gardens and natural boundary of the Clodagh River to the north provide a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. The residence is currently in use as a private dwelling and is presented in excellent condition throughout, while retaining many of its original period features. A number of modern upgrades have also been carried out, including uPVC double-glazed windows and a composite entrance door, while attractive original features such as cast-iron fireplaces and decorative ceiling cornices remain, adding considerable character and charm. Generous Accommodation The accommodation is well proportioned and arranged over two floors. At ground floor level, the property comprises a porch, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen and TV room. The first floor provides a landing, four bedrooms, study, bathroom and WC, offering excellent flexibility for family living, working from home or accommodating guests. The property is heated by oil-fired central heating and benefits from generous off-street parking, with ample space for multiple vehicles. Adjoining Former Church One of the property's most distinctive features is the adjoining former church building, dating from circa 1845. While the church is currently in need of repair, it presents an exceptional opportunity for future development or alternative use, subject to the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents. The combination of the period residence, former church and substantial site provides considerable scope for purchasers seeking a property with character and the potential to create something truly unique. Private Grounds & Riverside Setting The Manse occupies approximately 1.75 acres of mature, landscaped grounds, offering an exceptional level of privacy despite the property's central village location. The Clodagh River forms the northern boundary of the property, creating an attractive natural setting and enhancing the overall character of the grounds. The mature gardens provide numerous opportunities for outdoor enjoyment and further landscaping, subject to the purchaser's requirements. Location The property is ideally situated in the centre of Portlaw, a popular and well-established village which offers a range of local amenities and services. Its location makes it particularly attractive to commuters, with Waterford City readily accessible, while the property also provides convenient access to Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir and the Waterford City bypass. Despite its central village position and proximity to local amenities, The Manse enjoys a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion, making it a particularly appealing proposition. An Exceptional Property with Huge Potential The Manse represents a rare and intriguing opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence with an adjoining former church, extensive grounds and a unique riverside setting. The combination of period architecture, original features, modern upgrades and future development potential is sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers.
