This two-hundred-year-old church has been converted into the perfect family home in Carlow

Wesleyan Church Lodge, Clonegal, Enniscorthy

This once derelict stone-built former Wesleyan Methodist Church is now completely restored and converted into a stunning family home.

Built in 1834 and closed at the end of that century, it is nestled on a slightly elevated road fronted site on entry into Clonegal, a picturesque Tidy Town award winning village close to the border of counties Wexford and Carlow.

It s set in the valley between the Blackstairs and Wicklow mountains, straddling the meeting place of the Rivers Slaney and Derry.

Clonegal is home to the historic Huntington Castle, gardens and tea-room, its Sha-Roe multi-award winning Bistro, being positioned beautifully along River Slaney and adjacent to the Wicklow Way.

Wesleyan Church Lodge boasts gothic windows and doors, feature beamed ceilings, some exposed stone internal walls, its own gallery, cloister courtyard, a complimentary out-office, glass house, mature naturally landscaped gardens surrounding and an abundance of character and charm throughout.

The property is on the market for €595,000.
