FROM THE ICONIC doors of Dublin to a host of period dwellings large and small around the country, Georgian architecture has a unique place in the Irish landscape.
This week we’re looking at four Georgian homes around the country – from a six-bed in Sligo to an eye-catching property in Carlow.
Located on five acres of beautiful gardens and parkland, Castletown Manor is a highly impressive six-bed country residence. Dating from the mid 17th century, the manor house and courtyard accommodation extends to a total of 6,994 sq ft. There are many attractive features throughout, including open fireplaces, the original staircase and wooden flooring.
Approached via a tree-lined driveway, Classes House immediately gives a sense of relaxation. The four-bed Georgian property sits on a site of two acres of tiered gardens, with multiple large lawn areas, a west-facing patio and an abundance of fruit trees, mature plants and shrubs. The accommodation itself is well-kept, although it could benefit from modern upgrades in places.
Situated in the heart of seaside town Youghal, Devon View House is a boutique Georgian townhouse which dates back to 1810. The property currently operates as a B&B with nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms, and benefits from being renovated in the last three years. Measuring 3,035 sq ft, the interior is in excellent condition and contains a mixture of both original and modern features.
Positioned right by the River Barrow and with a blue exterior, Rus in Urbe makes a great first impression. The period property boasts a charming interior over three floors, comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a utility room and a basement. Outside, the rear garden enjoys a great sense of privacy, and features organic fruit trees, a manicured lawn and a raised patio area.
