This Georgian gem dating from 1825 formerly served as the Glebe House for the Church of Ireland and the cut-stone outbuildings were used as a Sunday school. With four bedrooms and 256sq m (2,756sq ft) set over three levels, the Ber-exempt property is in need of some refurbishment (it had some works in 2013) and lies on more than two acres in a mature woodland setting.
