THIS Georgian residence serves as another reminder of one of the most impressive eras in our architectural heritage. Castlefleming House and Gate Lodge, perched on 38.5 of an acre at Errill, Co Laois, comes with the space and features expected of one of the grander buildings of the period. Approached along a beautiful beech-lined drive, the mature grounds include that feature no self-respecting house of the era was without . . . a thriving orchard.
The house has a south-facing orientation and comes with generous interior accommodation comprising the entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, back hall, utility, pantry, office, guest cloakroom, main bathroom and five bedrooms.
If the house is grand in scale, the gate lodge is a cosier act with just the two bedrooms; livingroom/kitchen and bathroom.
Outbuildings include the original stone coach house and a number of store rooms.
Dublin is 75 miles distant, Kilkenny 30 miles.
Nearer towns include Rathdowney (only five miles away) and Borris-in-Ossory (six miles), while Ballybrophy and Templemore train station are within a 10-minute drive.
