Take a look inside this imposing €1.75m castle with 9 bedrooms - and 15 acres of gardens
Killoskehane Castle dates back to the 1600s.
LOCATED ON 15 acres of gardens at the foot of Devil’s Bit Mountain in Co Tipperary, Killoskehane Castle is an awe-inspiring property.
Priced at €1.75 million through Helen Cassidy Auctioneers, the historic residence dates all the way back to the 1600s.
It underwent extensive renovations during the 1800s, and today stands as a regal nine-bed, five-bath mansion.
The interior reflects the character of the castle, with wood panelling, feature fireplaces and stately decor throughout. The new owners won’t have to worry about decorating each room following the sale, however, as the price includes the majority of the furniture.
A red front door opens to the entrance hallway, which features wood panelling to the walls and ceiling, and herringbone floors. The dining room is designed for a feast, with room to comfortably seat 12. French windows overlook the gardens, while an ornate fireplace adds a cosy touch.
The drawing room also features multiple French windows, with white panelled walls and white ceiling beams creating a bright and airy feel. In the kitchen, redbrick walls, tiled floors and a stove make for a country-style inspired space.
Moving to the first floor, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms here. Providing further space to unwind and to entertain, there’s also a studio and a lounge.
At second floor level, there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Overall, Killoskehane Castle offers accommodation for 11 people, which is sure to play a part in its success as an AirBnB in recent years.
As for the grounds, an abundance of mature trees and rolling lawns throughout the 15 acres make the castle seem as if it’s in its own world. For sunny summer evenings, a BBQ area makes for the perfect spot to dine outdoors. There is also a number of paddocks on the grounds, as well as outbuildings and a gate lodge.
Conveniently, Killoskehane Castle is less than a 10-minute drive from Templemore town, while Thurles can be reached in 25 minutes.
The sale of a castle with such beautiful grounds and a well-kept interior is rare, making Killoskehane Castle a highly appealing option for buyers with a suitable budget.
