This distinctive country house, nestled within the historic grounds of Dunmore Park, presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment in a picturesque setting. Spanning approximately 14 acres, the property boasts extensive private grounds that enhance its charm and offer significant potential for various development projects.
The Parsonage is currently configured to include multiple functional spaces, providing a solid foundation for reimagining the layout. The ground floor features an entrance and rear vestibule leading into a grand hall, with several reception rooms including a drawing room, dining room, and lounge. A study and former kitchen/living area add to the versatility of the space, alongside an expansive ballroom and home gym. Additionally, there are three double bedrooms on this level, complemented by office and storage areas.
Moving to the first floor, you will find four double bedrooms along with designated areas that could accommodate en-suite bath or shower facilities. There are also two bedrooms sharing an adjoining space suited for a Jack-and-Jill style en-suite arrangement. Other sleeping quarters include two more double bedrooms and a former family bathroom, accessible via a separate staircase that leads from service quarters.
The grounds surrounding The Parsonage are as impressive as the interior. An inviting tree-lined driveway guides you through ornamental stone pillars with wrought iron gates toward a spacious gravel parking area at the front of the house. The landscaped gardens feature sweeping lawns bordered by mature trees and rhododendron banks that add character while ensuring privacy.
A highlight of the outdoor space is a large paved patio terrace extending along the western side of the house—ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxation. A traditional courtyard offers another charming alfresco area connected to main living spaces.
An outbuilding located in the northwest section of the property presents additional potential; once utilized for garaging, it could be transformed into stabling or auxiliary accommodations with appropriate permissions.
Notably, full planning permission has been granted for converting this historic residence into a luxury wellness retreat (Planning Reference Number: P/23/0535/FUL), making this property not only appealing as a private residence but also as an investment opportunity in the burgeoning wellness tourism sector.
With its expansive grounds and numerous development possibilities, The Parsonage stands out as a remarkable project for those looking to create something exceptional in an enviable location. Further planning documents can be provided upon request to facilitate exploration of its full potential.
