Continuing your exploration upstairs, you will discover five bedrooms, including four double bedrooms and one single bedroom. A spacious landing area awaits, presenting an opportunity to potentially develop an en suite for the master bedroom. Completing the upper level is the master bathroom.
The basement encompasses six separate rooms and two hallways. Steeped in history dating back to the 1800s, these rooms were originally staff quarters and served as the main kitchen for the house. The property also features a recently re-roofed coach house and courtyard to the rear, accessible through two large sets of arched double gates. Adding to its charm, a semi walled orchard is situated behind the courtyard, perfectly in line with the characteristic features of other Glebe Houses. Furthermore, a tennis court, constructed by Roadstone in the 1980s, awaits enthusiasts seeking an active lifestyle.
Positioned well within the plot, away from the road and surrounded by thick woodland, The Glebe ensures utmost privacy and seclusion. Boasting abundant character and history, this home was once the residence of renowned writer and columnist Dean Charles Stack. Additionally, been a protected structure, the property holds a historical story, having been the location of a high-profile kidnapping of Heiress Frances Ingoldsby, who, oddly, eventually married her Captor. The full story of the abduction can be found in the book "The Abduction of a Limerick Heiress" by Toby Barnard.
