An exceptional residence for sale
Set amidst approximately eight acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds in the heart of County Tipperary, Curraghmore House — also known as Glebe House — is an exceptional Regency residence of remarkable charm, heritage, and distinction. Presented to the market by REA Eoin Dillon, this elegant former Rectory, dating from 1819, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home where timeless architectural grandeur meets refined contemporary living.
Approached through impressive stone entrance gates, a sweeping tree-lined driveway unfolds gradually to reveal the graceful façade of this distinguished Georgian estate. Rich in history and character, Curraghmore House has been meticulously upgraded and sensitively restored over the years, preserving its original Regency elegance while introducing the comforts and functionality expected of a modern country residence.
The interior is defined by exceptional proportions, abundant natural light, and a wealth of beautifully preserved period features. A welcoming entrance hall sets an immediate tone of understated sophistication. The principal reception room is a magnificent space, complete with original pine flooring, a striking grey marble fireplace with cast iron inset, and tall sliding sash windows that bathe the room in natural light while framing views of the surrounding grounds.
To the opposite side of the hall, the elegant drawing room offers further grandeur, again featuring original pine floors and a beautiful marble fireplace. Beyond lies the Rector’s study — an intimate and refined retreat ideal as a private library or home office. A further reception room or ground floor bedroom provides additional flexibility for family living or guest accommodation.
To the rear of the residence, a stunning sunroom creates a seamless connection between the house and its enchanting one-acre walled garden. Finished with tiled flooring and full-height sliding glass doors, this light-filled space opens directly onto the courtyard, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The lower ground floor reveals the warm heart of the home. A cosy reading area with under-stair cloakroom leads into an expansive dual-aspect open-plan kitchen and lounge, thoughtfully designed for relaxed everyday living and entertaining alike. A solid fuel stove adds warmth and atmosphere, while the adjoining breakfast room and utility room provide practicality without compromise. A stylish family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level.
Ascending to the first floor, five generously proportioned bedrooms provide luxurious private accommodation.
Beyond the main residence, the estate continues to impress. A charming courtyard setting incorporates five beautifully appointed courtyard apartments, presenting exceptional potential for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or boutique hospitality use. An extensive range of outbuildings further enhances the property, including a substantial three-bay hay barn, machinery shed, large games room/gym, boiler house, and adjoining glasshouse.
The grounds themselves are a defining feature of Curraghmore House — a serene and private sanctuary of mature trees, manicured gardens, rolling lawns, and far-reaching countryside views. Every aspect of the estate reflects a sense of tranquillity, permanence, and refined country living.
Properties of this calibre and provenance rarely come to market. Curraghmore House is an extraordinary country estate that effortlessly combines architectural heritage, elegant living, and exceptional versatility in one of Ireland’s most picturesque settings.
Viewing is highly recommended.
