A remarkable piece of Leitrim’s history has come on the market, as Drumlease Glebe House near Dromahair seeks its next chapter.

Built in 1834 by Owen Wynne for the local Church of Ireland rectors, this elegant period home has stood for nearly two centuries. It's limestone façade and sweeping driveway offering a glimpse into another era.

Once home to clergy and later a series of colourful owners, the property has been everything from a private residence and boutique guest house to a Michelin recommended country retreat.

Now, the current owners, Marita and Nick Quigley, who lovingly restored the house after decades of decline, are passing it on to new custodians. Set on 8.7 acres of private grounds bordered by the River Bonet, the estate features a walled garden, stables, courtyard, and even a 1970s outdoor swimming pool.

With over 6,300 square feet of space, Drumlease Glebe is priced at €950,000 and offers vast potential, whether as a family home, heritage restoration, or luxury venue.

Viewing is by appointment through Schiller & Schiller.
