The Parochial House, Sion, Crossabeg. The history is already written. The next chapter awaits Originally built around 1845 by Father Nicholas Furlong, The Old Parochial House in Crossabeg is a truly captivating period residence, rich in heritage, character and an extraordinary sense of place. From the moment you approach, there is an unmistakable presence. Set amongst mature trees, established shrubs and beautiful surrounding grounds of circa one acre, the house sits gracefully within its setting, offering a sense of tranquillity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Step through the beautiful, spacious entrance porch and the character immediately unfolds. Two impressive reception rooms welcome you, both possessing the proportions and grandeur of a bygone era, with high ceilings, open fireplaces, beautiful sash-style windows and intricate period detailing. These are rooms designed for gathering, entertaining and simply enjoying the atmosphere of a truly special home. Beyond the reception rooms, the hallway leads to a fully fitted kitchen with tiled flooring, together with a wonderfully versatile additional room featuring its own period fireplace — equally suited to a dining room, bedroom, study or further reception space. The staircase itself is a feature, rising beneath an impressive elevated ceiling before opening onto the first floor. Here, generous bedrooms and bathrooms continue the story, with one particularly beautiful bedroom bathed in natural light through an exceptional full-height-style window, while another enjoys the warmth and character of an open fireplace. Throughout the house, original fireplaces, generous proportions, high ceilings, timber detailing and period windows provide an authenticity that cannot be manufactured. And yet, this is where the story becomes truly exciting. The Parochial House is not a protected structure, offering the next owner the opportunity, subject to the necessary planning requirements, to thoughtfully modernise and adapt this wonderful home — whether that means restoring its historic grandeur, introducing contemporary comforts, or creating a carefully considered blend of old and new. It is a property with a past, a presence and the opportunity for an extraordinary future. For the person who can see beyond what is there today, The Old Parochial House offers something very rare, the chance to breathe new life into a remarkable piece of Crossabeg history and make it their own.
