Tradition and modernity combine at the Old Glenbeigh Presbytery

MOVE the Old Presbytery from its Ring of Kerry location in Glenbeigh to Killarney and you’d double its value.

The fully renovated 1880s residence, which went out of church ownership in the 1990s, has been fully renovated and upgraded by its current owners, who have put it on the market with a €500,000 price guide through Sherry FitzGerald Coghlan.

While Glenbeigh is a traditionally popular spot for holiday makers, the buyer of the Old Presbytery is likely to be buying for full-time family use, suggests estate agent Michael Coghlan. He reckons the house on 1.5 acres might just be too big for someone to take on as a second home.
