Feighcullen Church is a beautiful Gothic building and was built in 1829, designed by the famous architect John Semple. The church is listed as part of Ireland's Architectural Heritage. The structure has recently undergone extensive restoration to the roof, door and windows and is a listed building therefore qualifies for restoration grants. It might be possible to get more funding even though the roof and windows have been done.
Wherever you look the building has an abundance of very striking architectural features from the graceful Gothic style entrance door, an imposing belfry with a beautiful steeple, four matching smaller steeples on each corner of the building add to the elegance and symmetry. As you enter the building you can turn left or right and arrive through archways into the main part of the church which is one large space. There is some beautiful stonework, glorious archways and carvings all of which could be incorporated into a stunning living space. There are ten large lancet-arch Gothic windows, five one each side of the building and large traceried, three light, window to the east gable end.
Situated on a ¾ acre site this interesting property is ideal for a variety of uses including a fantastic private residence, gallery, or studio and the area is well known for golfing, horse racing and motor racing and the towns of Naas, Newbridge, Rathangan and the famous Curragh are all nearby and Feighcullen is also just a short and pleasant drive from Dublin. Set back off the main Naas, Rathangan road at the end of a lovely newly gravelled private avenue the views are across beautiful rolling countryside to the Hill of Allen and beyond.
