Buy yourself a little bit of history

BUILT in the 19th century by Irish architect Sir Richard Morrison, the Kerry glebe at Milltown needs the ministrations of a good designer and builder.

Kilcolman Glebe, Milltown, is almost 200 years old, and while it has been occupied up to recently its condition is poor – it needs extensive refurbishing, say auctioneers WH Giles & Co of Tralee, guiding it at €500,000.

There’s another rectory being provided for the new local Church of Ireland rector, hence this sale of the two-storey, five-bed period home of some distinction on two acres in Milltown, set back off the road and very private. It is expected to be bought by local families.
