Description

Victorian period home in a coastal setting Set in mature landscaped gardens and adjoining Rush Cricket Club, this former Church of Ireland rectory is a home full of character and history. Designed in 1866 by the well-known architect James Edward Rogers, who also designed the nearby Kenure Church, this detached house with a half-dormer attic is a fine example of 19th-century design. The house has a T-shaped layout with a pitched slate roof topped by terracotta ridge tiles. Limestone chimneys with red brick detailing rise above the roof, while timber bargeboards, cast-iron gutters, and exposed timber beams add to its charm. The exterior walls combine red brick and rough limestone, giving the house a strong and stylish look. Tall pointed windows with red brick surrounds and timber sashes let in plenty of natural light and reflect the home's historic past. Set back from the road, The Old Vicarage is approached through limestone pillars with pyramid-shaped tops and wrought-iron gates, sitting quietly in peaceful gardens just a short walk from the sea and Rush. Extending to 242.7 sq m (2,612 sq ft), (excluding the Mews) this home is spread over two floors, each carefully designed for comfortable living. The ground floor offers a relaxed, open layout perfect for daily family life, alongside a range of more formal rooms that provide privacy and ideal for entertaining. At the centre of the home is a bright and welcoming entrance hall, leading to connected family areas filled with plenty of natural light. The main living spaces feature quality materials throughout, including hardwood floors, stylish tiles, custom woodwork, and modern lighting, all creating a feeling of simple elegance. The ground floor includes a large kitchen, a formal drawing room, a cosy living room, a dining room, everyday sitting room, a breakfast room, a utility room, and a guest WC. Upstairs, the first floor holds a spacious master bedroom and three more double bedrooms, with one bedroom featuring its own en suite and a family bathroom and linen cupboard. Mews The mews (125 sq/m / 1,345 sq/ft) is located across the cobbled court yard from the house, is double storey and a multifunctional space with plenty of scope to convert or use as storage and maybe an ideal area for working from home or indeed a workshop. Gardens Well established gardens and grounds (extending to about 3.4 acres) offering great privacy and shelter. The garden has been very well maintained over the years and includes well kept lawns, mature trees and shrubbery throughout the garden. The garden also includes a large paddock to the rear of the home which could be used for variety of uses including development (S.P.P.), equestrian use or just a fantastic mature garden area.
