Description

Savills proudly presents the beautiful Poulnacurra House which dates back to c.1741. This private period home is located on about 5 acres of grounds that also provides a one bedroom detached gate lodge, storage buildings and stables.
The site was once home to Poulnacurry Castle which was built by the Barry's around the 12th century and its remains are believed to have been used in part to help build Poulnacurra House.

Upon arrival, an ornate, wrought iron electric gate opens inwards allowing access onto the beautiful descending driveway which is bounded by tall Cedar trees. Here, you will notice the one-bedroom detached gate lodge which has its own enclosed garden area. Making your way down the driveway brings you to a large parking area, a detached storage building with three interconnecting rooms and a private courtyard with stables. On the opposite elevation of the property, inspiring and meticulously maintained gardens await to be discovered.
