Built in the 1820s, this handsome Irish gentry house is surrounded by its 130-hectare (320-acre) wooded riverside estate.


The former home of the MacGeough Bond family, a tour of this Neo-classical masterpiece
reveals it is unchanged since 1900 – the eclectic interior still evoking the family’s tastes and interests. Outside there are sweeping views, superb spring bulbs, scenic walks, a rejuvenated walled garden, adventure playground and fascinating courtyard displays and exhibitions.
