The Mitre, Kerry

The Mitre was once a public house where passers-by would stop for a while. Trust us, when you see inside, you'll want to stay forever.

The Property - Standing prominently within the heart of the popular village of Kerry, The Mitre is a home with a rich history and unmistakable character. Dating back to the early nineteenth century, this remarkable home wears both its heritage and colourful past with pride, formerly serving as a public house and renowned meeting point for the Coldstream Guards. Purchased by the current owners in 2012, it has since been comprehensively remodelled and reimagined into a design led four bedroom family home of genuine distinction, rich in period character yet beautifully considered in every detail.

Step through the original front door into a porch created by the current owners, and the house immediately begins to reveal its warmth and personality. The dining room sits to the front of the property, an inviting and characterful space with exposed ceiling beams, a brick chimney breast and an electric woodburner effect fire that gives the room a wonderfully cosy feel throughout the seasons. Secondary glazed sash windows allow for plenty of natural light while helping to keep the room warm and comfortable, making it equally suited to quiet breakfasts as it is to long evenings entertaining friends.

The sitting room is undoubtedly one of the standout spaces within the home. Exposed beams span the ceiling, warm timber flooring runs underfoot, and a handsome inglenook fireplace with a multifuel burner forms a striking focal point. It is the kind of room that instantly makes a house feel like home. Beyond lies the snug, a smaller and more intimate room with its own beamed ceiling, ideal as a reading room, children's playroom or simply somewhere peaceful to retreat to at the end of the day.

The kitchen is a true statement space, combining practicality with style. Painted Shaker style cabinetry sits against exposed brick walls, while warm timber worktops run the length of the room. A Belfast sink and range cooker sit beneath a Velux rooflight, allowing natural light to flood in throughout the day. A separate pantry provides excellent additional storage, reflecting the careful thought applied throughout the renovation. The full height cellar, accessed internally, offers further versatility and potential for future development, subject to the necessary consents. Off the kitchen, a compact extension provides a practical boot room with access out to the courtyard beyond.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous and beautifully presented room with exposed beams, wide original floorboards and a feature fireplace. It also benefits from its own en suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath that creates a real sense of luxury and retreat. Bedroom two is another spacious double room, equally full of character. The family bathroom on this floor is bright, stylish and well finished, featuring a bath with overhead shower and clean white metro tiling.

The second floor has been thoughtfully remodelled by the current owners to create two further spacious double bedrooms. Both are illuminated by Velux rooflights and framed by exposed timber beams, giving the rooms warmth, texture and charm.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as considered as the house itself. Immediately to the rear is an enclosed courtyard, private and sheltered, with a paved seating area perfectly suited to quiet evenings outdoors. The former coal shed now provides useful log and garden storage. Beyond, a gate leads through a communal garden area to the private rear garden, a genuinely impressive space for a village centre home. A substantial lawn is bordered by well stocked planting beds and a gravel pathway, while a timber summerhouse sits at the far end of the garden. It is a garden designed to work effortlessly for both family life and entertaining.

The Mitre is a rare offering: a home with real history, undeniable style and exceptional space, set within one of Mid Wales' most sought after villages. It is a property that deserves to be experienced in person.
