KILDARE PROPERTY WATCH: Fancy owning your own parish hall
Rare opportunity to acquire a piece of local history
A local parish hall is to go under the hammer on Thursday, February 29 at The Westgrove Hotel in Clane.
Sextons Cottage/ Millicent Parish Hall is a detached property in a great location.
This is an excellent opportunity to extend and refurbish the existing property (subject to planning permission).
Selling agents, Sherry Fitzgerald Reilly said; “A fantastic and rare opportunity to acquire a piece of local history has just entered the property market with the Millicent Parish Hall, formerly known as Sextons Cottage.
“The property has been able to retain the charm and dignity of the period and is suitable for residential conversion (subject to planning permission).
“This late Victorian former cottage, built in 1890, which has over the years been the focal point of a wide range of activities undertaken by the local community.”
History
The cottage / hall was built to house lay people of the church as Hewetson School was close by and The Church of St. Michael and All Angels is adjacent to the hall.
A fine example of late 19th century architecture, the former parish hall is built of stone with a pitched slate roof.
In 1978 planning was granted for a change of use from a residential cottage to its current use as a parish hall.
Internal accommodation occupies approximately 94 sq.m., comprising entrance hall, kitchen area, store room, toilets and large open plan function room / hall.
“The potential for this property is endless, given its size and location it’s sure to be suited for residential use,” said the selling agents.
Millicent is a very attractive area located between Clane and Sallins and just 10 km from Naas and the M7 motorway.
It is close to Millicent Golf Club and is surrounded by some top quality residential houses, farm land and stud farms.
It is close to the commuter rail line in Sallins with a regular service to Hueston Station and is also close to the full range of amenities that Clane and Sallins have to offer.
This property at Millicent South, Sallins is for sale by public auction on February 29 at 3pm in The Westgrove Hotel, Abbeylands, Clane on the instructions of Clane Union of Parishes and The Representative Church Body.
