'The Old Rectory', Glebe, Killybegs, Co. Donegal, F94 N7Y3

Henry Kee & Son are delighted to present to the market The Old Rectory, a distinguished former rectory dating from circa 1830, occupying a wonderfully private and peaceful setting on approximately 7.6 acres just south of Killybegs and close to the dramatic Donegal coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way. Approached by a graceful driveway and extending to approximately 4,294 sq. ft., this elegant Georgian residence is a home of real scale, charm and architectural presence. Lovingly maintained by its current owners, the property retains an impressive array of original period features including timber sliding sash windows diminishing in scale towards the eaves — a true hallmark of the Georgian style — along with ornate cornicing, centre ceiling roses, original fireplaces and a fine staircase. The accommodation is generously proportioned and classically arranged throughout. The entrance porch opens into a welcoming central hallway, leading to an elegant Sitting Room on one side and a Living Room on the other. The ground floor further comprises a Family Room, Dining Room, spacious Kitchen, Conservatory, Cloakroom with WC and a Laundry Room. Upstairs, there are six bright and well-balanced bedrooms, including a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with two bathrooms. Many of the rooms enjoy dual aspects, allowing natural light to flood the house throughout the day and creating a wonderful sense of warmth and openness. To the rear, an enclosed courtyard features original outbuildings together with the remains of a former walled garden and stable block, adding further character and historical interest to the property. The Old Rectory is a warm and inviting home, ready for immediate occupation with no known structural concerns. While some purchasers may wish to undertake modernisation or further enhancement over time, the property already offers comfort, atmosphere and practicality in equal measure. As a protected structure and an important part of the area’s built heritage, it presents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of genuine historical significance, exceptional character and enduring charm, while still offering considerable scope for upgrading and putting your own stamp on the property over time. Viewing is strictly by appointment only, with all enquiries welcome.
