Castletown Estate (also known as Castletown Cox, one of Ireland’s finest Palladian mansions, has been listed on sale.
Extending to in excess of 36,000 sq. ft. in its entirety, the interiors of Castletown are equally as impressive as the exterior with rich Rococo plaster decoration throughout by famed stuccodore Patrick Osborne of Waterford.
The Estate extends to 513 acres, and at its heart are the beautiful, formal gardens designed by the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, a woman once described by the New York Times as ‘Britain`s high priestess of historic garden design`.
