CURRENT VENDORS COMMENTS:

“We, the current owners feel privileged to be custodians of this period property, being able to preserve a small part of the nation’s heritage for generations to come.
We believe the land was purchased by the church in 1880 and the house was built in 1881. The glass in the front door is etched in such a way that 1881 can be identified.
The property was built as a vicarage to St Hilda’s, Griffithstown but was considered to be located too far from the church to be used as a vicarage.
Whilst carrying out renovations over the 13 years we have been custodians we have uncovered a number of features. For instance, there is a well to the rear of the scullery now the annex. There is evidence of a window in the attic to the annex which would have allowed light into what we believe to have been the servants quarters, now the main bathroom and the office. From photographic evidence found in a local history book about Griffithstown there was once a sash window in what is now the main kitchen. Photographs of the house appear in that book circa 1920.
The property has had the benefit of having added insulation to the walls in the dining room, the bedroom above and to the loft space.
We have endeavoured to be sympathetic when decorating or renovating the property to preserve the remaining original features but modernising to accommodate today’s way of life. The house lends itself to occasions like Christmas when we have had many large family gatherings over the years not to mention other celebratory get togethers with family and friends.
We very much hope that the next custodians of The Cedars will enjoy living in such a distinguished property as we have.”
