Rathmichael: €1m The Long House, Old Conna Village, Rathmichael, Co Dublin situated in the stable block of the original Old Conna House, now Aravon School, is for auction on June 8th with Douglas Newman Good guiding €1 million.
When the present owners bought the house 14 years ago from film producer Noel Pearson, its stunning gallery had featured in My Left Foot. The 100ft long property built circa 1860 is part of a conversion into a handful of homes and benefits from an recent upgrade. The front door opens into the gallery which has a two-storey vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and first floor balcony. The gallery leads to a handsome drawingroom with large period fireplace, timber beamed ceiling and separate patio doors.
A family room is next to a kitchen outfitted in ash with an Aga. A spiral staircase climbs from kitchen to the first floor. A deep timbered staircase climbs to a first floor balcony overlooking the gallery. There are four bedrooms, one en suite, a playroom and a family bathroom floored in mosaic tile.
Access to the property is at the end of a private drive inside the gates of Aravon School. There is ample front parking in the cobbled stable yard.
