A rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique home — “Antiqua Iglesia”, a beautifully converted 19th-century church

Welcome to “Antiqua Iglesia”, a truly unique and character-filled residence that offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort. This remarkable home was originally constructed in the early 1800s as a Church of Ireland church and is now recognised as a building of note by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH). Retaining much of its original Gothic Revival style, it has been thoughtfully and meticulously transformed into a five-bedroom, two-reception, four-bath, two-storey family home, designed for contemporary living while celebrating its ecclesiastical heritage.

From the moment you arrive through the impressive stone entrance with wrought-iron gates, the sense of privacy and exclusivity is clear. The stone façade, arched granite doorway, and soaring church-style windows give the property instant presence, while the secure enclosed site offers peace of mind. A detached shed provides excellent additional storage or workshop space.

Inside, the property continues to impress. Vaulted ceilings, original pointed-arch windows, and exposed stone features ensure that the home is filled with light, character, and a sense of grandeur. The layout has been cleverly adapted to suit modern family life, offering a balance of open-plan areas for social living and private spaces for relaxation or work.

The accommodation extends to five generously sized bedrooms, each with their own character and designed with comfort in mind. There are four luxurious bathrooms, finished with quality tiling and contemporary sanitaryware, offering a boutique-hotel feel.

The property boasts two elegant reception rooms, ideal for entertaining guests, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the setting. The combination of heritage architecture and modern interiors creates an atmosphere that is both stylish and timeless.

For those working remotely, the home offers dedicated office potential, with bright, spacious rooms that lend themselves perfectly to a productive home workspace. The secure and private grounds make it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a peaceful yet well-connected base, while the character and scale of the property will also appeal to families, first-time buyers looking for something distinctive, and downsizers who don’t want to compromise on quality.

Positioned south-east of Letterkenny town centre, the property enjoys open views and a calm, natural backdrop, yet remains within easy reach of local amenities, schools, and services. Letterkenny town is just minutes away, offering all the conveniences of modern living, while Derry is less than 40 minutes by car, making this an excellent location for commuters.

With its fascinating history, architectural merit, and impeccable modern conversion, “Antiqua Iglesia” is more than just a home – it is a statement property, offering a lifestyle defined by character, space, and individuality. Rarely does a property of this calibre come to the market, making it a truly exceptional opportunity.
