A residence which dates back to the early 1860’s has come onto the market in Mountcharles. Carbery House is a remarkable property that carries a rich history operating originally as a hotel and guesthouse.
The property underwent an expansion and renovation in the early 1900s. The property served as the residence of renowned author, dramatist and poet Seamus McManus along with his wife Anna Bella Johnson, who was a journalist, writer, and poet. She used the pen name Eithne Carbery.
Their works were widely published in both Ireland and the United States of America.
Located in Mountcharles, Carbery House holds a significant position within the community and is widely recognized for its historical value. The house has been in the same family for over six decades and has been lovingly maintained, resulting in a warm, welcoming, and exquisite home. Many of the original features have been preserved within the property, including internal doors, windows, tiling, slate roof, staircase, a roll-top bath, the first bath in Mountcharles, and ornate fireplaces.
These elements contribute to the property's character, showcasing the architectural style of the nineteenth century. The well-proportioned rooms and impressive high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness and allow ample natural light to permeate the interior, further enhancing its charm.
The house has six bedrooms and two bathrooms and comes onto the market priced at €345,000. For further information, please call the selling agent, Kiara Rainey, on 074 91 22211.
