Syngefield House represents a fantastic development opportunity located in the heart of the heritage town of Birr, Co. Offaly. This partially completed boutique hotel/guest house is an impressive structure, set in the most idyllic surroundings, just 2km from Birr town centre Built in 1760, the original Syngefield House, which is a protected structure, was altered and extended in the early 2000’s. The works were not completed at the time and the structure remains incomplete. Set amidst approximately 4.47 acres of grounds, this imposing property is approached by a sweeping driveway off the original avenue into Syngefield House, which now serves a number of residences in addition to Syngefield House itself. The original, tall and imposing dark limestone gate piers are located at the entrance to the avenue off the R440, and these ashlar limestone gate piers are complete with moulded capping and ball finials. The grounds surrounding Syngefield House comprise a mix of parkland and mature woodland, which adjoins neighbouring woodland, through which the Camcor River flows. There is a charming river walk beyond the Syngefield House boundary, which is popular with local residents and visitors alike. The external finish of Syngefield House is a roughcast render with a pitched slate roof over, complete with rendered chimney stacks. The front exterior features classically inspired details and is full of character with impressive stone steps, approaching the round headed entrance door opening flanked by two square headed side lights. There also remains part of the interesting stone balustrade to the front façade at the garden level. The basement comprises a swimming pool and gym area, plus ladies and gents changing rooms, bathrooms, plant room, laundry and storerooms. The large kitchen and pantry, plus a wine cellar are also located at basement level. The addition of the extension to the rear of the main house adds the accommodation required to transform Syngefield House into a property of scale, whilst still retaining the classical features of the original front façade. Whilst the property requires significant investment to complete the extensive accommodation to the standards befitting this fine country home, this building oozes potential for a multitude of uses including boutique hotel, wedding venue, wellness centre or large family home (subject to planning). ACCOMMODATION: The current layout comprises the following guest house design, laid out over three floors, plus further accommodation/storage at attic level. Ten guest bedrooms (each with ensuite and five with a walk-in closet), three reception rooms, a commercial sized kitchen and pantry, laundry rooms, staff facilities and bathrooms. There are also a swimming pool and gym in the basement, with changing facilities, a wine cellar and storerooms located at this level too.
