About The Old Rectory
The National Inventory rates The Old Rectory Regional, one of 31 in Shillelagh. The Old Rectory dates from 1825–1845. One other place on the record stands within 400 m.
Well maintained former rectory of the early 19th century whose unusual differing roof level (which may or may not be the result of a later alteration) lifts it out of the ordinary. The property is complimented by a fine, and equally well-maintained, set of outbuildings.

Is The Old Rectory protected?
