THIS late Georgian rectory at Donohill, Cappawhite, Co Tipperary, has the impressive architectural features and generous space characteristic of the period country residence. Built in 1857 and completely refurbished in the last 10 years, the five-bed property also comes with a separate guesthouse and sits on circa 5 acres of lawns, gardens and paddocks. The main house has a floor space of 337sq m (3,630sq ft) defined by period features that include sash windows, fireplaces, coving and cornicing. Bright and spacious accommodation at ground floor comprises the entrance hallway, drawing room, office, dining room, inner hall, guest wc, utility, kitchen/breakfast room.
Upstairs are the bedrooms, shower room, separate WC and bathroom. To the rear, there is a refurbished guest cottage of 111 sq m (1,200 sq ft), a stone-fronted sauna house and a walled tennis court.
The approach to the rectory is along a sweeping driveway bounded by oak, ash, chestnut and a lovely holly tree to the top of the avenue. A host of amenities close by include an 18-hole course and there are nine trains a day from Limerick Junction which is 11 miles from the property. Cashel is also 11 miles away and Tipperary town is eight miles distant.
