Parson’s House is an 188-year-old Georgian property that had been vacant for some time. Several windows were broken, there were leaks, electricity had long been disconnected and there was no kitchen
It’s often said that when one door closes, another one opens, and that was quite literally true with Mary-Claire Waters and Shane O’Sullivan.
“We were unsuccessful in bidding on a handful of houses, being the under-bidder on multiple occasions,” Mary-Claire says. “We noticed the ‘for sale’ sign outside Parson’s one evening while driving past. . “Downstairs there is an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, a snug/office, a utility and downstairs WC. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite. There are two guest bedrooms which share the main bathroom. The house also has a selection of outbuildings which may eventually be converted to living space,” Mary-Claire reveals.“We were on site every evening and weekend.
