Constructed as a detached, five-bay, three-storey residence, with a round-headed architrave granite door case, it has flanking two-storey wings and a full three-storey bow to it’s rear. The current configuration supports eight bedrooms with nine bathrooms throughout its 510m² interior, while either wing can comfortably be modified to support self-contained units. Room proportions remain true to its Georgian roots, with ceiling heights and window openings further endorsing its period feel.
The property was acquired in ruins by its current owners in 1998, with a comprehensive renovation program immediately undertaken, addressing everything from subfloor to rooftop and all in between. The quality of workmanship throughout is exceptional and the entire now presents a contemporary living space of the highest quality.
The site is accessed via an arched and gated entrance from the main street, with extensive parking located to the front of the residence.
Surrounding gardens extend to 1.5 acres, set in mature lawn and orchard area in the main, while two extensive and functional patio areas perfectly blend internal and external living experiences.
Anchored on the north-west corner of the holding immediately adjacent to the spectacular six-arched Valerian bridge over the Barrow, stand the ruins of the Black Castle, originally dating from 1181 and rebuilt c 1547. While under the control of the OPW, the new owners of Garrison House will become custodians of this stunning feature.
The holding, located in the centre of the village, enjoys village centre zoning, suggesting the possibility of further development. It further benefits from access to all mains services, while the main Carlow/Kilkenny Road presents immediate access to surrounding towns, national routes, rail link and motorway (M9 J6 – 4km).
Leighlinbridge is long regarded as one of the most picturesque villages in Leinster and supports many nationally recognised amenities including The Lord Bagenal Hotel and the award-winning Arboretum Garden Centre. The area is surrounded by quality farmlands with a strong association with the thriving bloodstock sector.
Viewings of this magnificent home are invited on a strictly appointment basis.
