Paddy Jordan of Jordan Town & Country Estate Agents, Newbridge, has, just introduced to the market, a former presbytery with a cottage on circa 14-acres near the Kildare/Offaly border.
Clonmore House, Clonbullogue, Co Offaly, dates from 1750, with further additions in 1850 when the house became a presbytery.
The present owners purchased the property in 1999 and undertook a complete refurbishment project to include roof, heating, wiring, plumbing, etc.

Meanwhile, upstairs, there are five spacious bedrooms with two ensuites and a main bathroom.
