Live like royalty for just €550,000 as stunning castle in Wicklow goes up for sale

Home number 4 in Glanmore Castle, located in Ashford, Co Wicklow, has hit the market for just €550,000.

Originally built in 1760 on the Glanmore Estate, the castle was previously home to the family of renowned Irish playwright John Millington Synge.

The castle has evolved with the assistance of revered architect Francis Johnston, who is best known for building the GPO.

Glanmore Castle was subdivided into four separate homes in recent times, with each home availing of its own privacy and security.

The castle is nestled in the beautiful landscape of The Devil's Glen, with over 200 acres of woodland trails perfect for someone looking for peace and tranquillity.

The home was recently upgraded by its current owners and is spread over three floors, making it 2,229 square feet.

The entrance hall boasts exposed wooden roof beams with deep casement windows and a boot room.

An inner hall runs through the entire width and depth of the castle with a chandeliered high ceiling and wide plane distressed oak flooring.

There is also a drawing toom with an original fireplace, crystal chandelier and other period features.

The long hallway leads to an east-facing kitchen/dining room with double doors giving access to the gardens.

Upstairs there are two generous double bedrooms with a master ensuite.

This beautiful property features a completely hidden garden that is bordered by tall Portuguese laurel and Grisellinia hedging.

Steps then lead down to what was once an icehouse where food and meat were stored and is now used as a garden storeroom.

The rear garden, which can be accessed down steps from the ground floor and at garden level from the kitchen, is private and sheltered on either side with mature trees and shrubs that blend effortlessly into the towering conifer trees that slope into the valley.

The realtor, Colliers, has described the home as a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and said that "viewing is a must."

This home is undoubtedly fit for living like royalty with its scenic location and luxury décor.
