Pastor Hill has a unique dual denominational status having been constructed first as a rectory for the Church of Ireland around 1820 and sold to the Catholic Church for use as a presbytery 100 years later in 1920. In more recent times the house has been used as a home for family living, but retains a connection to its clerical past with a former oratory now used as a bedroom. The house is a two storey over garden level country house in pristine condition having been lovingly maintained and decorated by the current owners, who also developed the tranquil gardens to an almost show-garden level. A charming mews in the courtyard adds an extra dimension to the property and is used as additional accommodation for family and other visitors. The courtyard comes with a garage, an enclosed barn, two farm sheds and a dog kennel. There is also a large potting shed on site. The house accommodation consists of kitchen, living room, study/office, sun-room and associated utility space at garden level. The middle floor includes a reception hall, large drawing room and family room with the latter rooms having period fireplaces with a stove replacing the grate in the family room. On the upper floor there are four bedrooms (one having the unusual domed ceiling of the former oratory) with a bathroom and shower-room. The property is located 1.5km from Old Johnstown Village less that 4 kms from Navan, c.45kms from Dublin city and a 40 minute drive to Dublin Airport (which also served by a very frequent direct bus service). Sporting facilities nearby include Royal Tara and Killeen golf clubs; Navan and Fairyhouse racecourses and Walterstown GFC. Services include Heating (oil-fired central heating); Water (mains) and newly certified Septic Tank. There is fibre broadband on site.
